Powerful, Articulate Bass for Your Live Sound: The PreSonus AIR18s
The PreSonus AIR18s is a professional active subwoofer designed to deliver a powerful, clear, and accurate low-end punch, making it the perfect companion for any full-range PA system. It’s an ideal choice for mobile DJs, live bands, and installations in clubs and event venues that require a robust and reliable bass foundation. With its unique hybrid amplifier design and easy-to-use DSP presets, the AIR18s makes achieving a professional sound effortless.
The AIR18s is driven by a dynamic 1,200W (peak) Class D amplifier, pushing a high-excursion 18-inch woofer to produce a deep and impactful bass response. The on-board DSP allows you to quickly tailor the subwoofer's performance with presets for different applications, including "Mo' Bass" for an enhanced low-end, "Cardioid" for creating ground-stacked arrays with reduced stage feedback, and a variable low-pass filter for creating a custom crossover.
Built for the rigors of the road, the AIR18s is housed in a rugged, tour-grade birch enclosure. It's surprisingly lightweight and portable for its power, featuring ergonomic handles and provisions for an optional caster kit. With its comprehensive feature set and powerful performance, the AIR18s provides the solid low-end your music deserves.
