The Ultimate Low-End Powerhouse: The Mackie DRM18S
The Mackie DRM18S is an 18-inch, 2000W professional powered subwoofer designed for artists, DJs, and production companies who demand a powerful, chest-thumping low-end for their sound system. This flagship active subwoofer is built with heavy-duty components and advanced technology to deliver a clear, consistent, and impactful bass performance, night after night.
At the heart of the DRM18S is a high-efficiency 2000W Class-D amplifier and a custom high-excursion 18" woofer housed in a rugged, front-ported, direct-radiating plywood cabinet. The real magic comes from Mackie's Advanced Impulse™ DSP, which employs precision crossovers and FIR filtering to correct inherent acoustic issues, resulting in a crystal-clear, punchy sound typically experienced only with massive touring systems.
The DRM Control Dashboard™ on the rear panel features a high-contrast, full-color display for quick and easy access to a variable crossover, voicing modes, and other essential settings. With its versatile design, professional-grade components, and intelligent DSP, the DRM18S is built to be the ultimate workhorse for any professional application that requires serious low-frequency reinforcement.
