This versatile, no compromise, all-purpose subwoofer is designed for the most demanding
professional applications. The VS 218DR offers exceptional output, high reliability and
outstanding sonic performance providing low and VLF reproduction to complement any high
SPL full range loudspeakers.
Extending the frequency response of the system to below 30Hz makes the VS 218DR ideal
for low frequency effects in high energy clubs, large corporate AV systems, stadiums, live
concert halls, theatres, movie theatres and cinemas, large houses of worship and open-air
venues. This loudspeaker is capable of delivering deep and powerful bass at high sound
pressure levels with extremely low distortion and power compression, while all the time
maintaining a uniform frequency response throughout its dynamic range. The large port
areas ensure minimal turbulence even at high output levels.
With easy rigging and portability in mind the VS 218DR is equipped with 16 unobtrusive
recessed carrying handles whilst 16 x 10mm flying inserts provide a secure flying system.
The cabinet is also fitted with 4 pullback points; and 4 rubber feet are provided to facilitate stacking.
The VS 218DR consists of twin 458mm (18.00”), high efficiency drive units producing
106dB/W, with a 100mm (4.00”) voice coil. The twin drivers are mounted in an immensely
robust 500 litre cabinet constructed from 18mm (5/8”) multi-ply birch hardwood and is
available in a textured black or white finish as standard. The heavy-duty construction
ensures it is able to survive the punishment that speaker systems are subjected to on the
road and in club installations.
