When you need the kind of low-end thunder that audience members can feel in their bones, you bring in the big guns.
The D.A.S. Audio Event-218A dual 18" powered subwoofer delivers that foundational power, anchoring your live sound with precision, punch, and clarity. Borrowing from the DNA of D.A.S.'s most acclaimed high-end subwoofers, the Event-218A packs tour-grade performance into a rig that's ready for anything, from a packed club to a large-scale auditorium.
Earth-Moving Power Meets Smart Engineering
The Event-21A features a powerful Class "D" amplifier delivering an impressive 3600W of peak power. This isn’t just unrefined volume — it’s carefully managed energy, refined by advanced onboard processing. Designed for precision, this subwoofer ensures your low frequencies are controlled, clean, and impactful.
Dual 18LX Transducers: At the heart of this beast are two 18LX long-excursion transducers. These are the same drivers found in D.A.S.’s flagship touring gear. They move massive amounts of air with precision, ensuring that even at high volumes, your bass remains tight, musical, and devoid of that muddy "waffle" sound.
3600 Watts of Fury: The Class D amplifier provides a staggering 3600W peak power. This high-efficiency design means the sub runs cooler while delivering the kind of headroom that lets you push the faders with confidence. It hits hard, recovers fast, and keeps the dance floor moving.
Cardioid Preset Mode: Setting up a cardioid subwoofer array can be a headache of measurements and phase adjustments. The Event-218A simplifies it all with a single switch. This feature applies specific signal processing that allows you to easily configure two subs, directing the bass forward toward the crowd and minimizing stage rumble.
Built Like a Tank, Finished Like a Pro
Touring gear lives a hard life. It gets dragged up ramps, bumped into doorframes, and spilled on. The Event-218A is constructed to shrug off the abuse of the road while looking sleek enough for a corporate ballroom. It’s the perfect blend of durability and professional aesthetics.
Birch Plywood Armor: Forget cheap particle board. This cabinet is crafted from quality Birch plywood, providing the structural rigidity needed to handle intense acoustic pressure without rattling apart. It’s solid, resonant-free, and built for the long haul.
ISO-flex Coating: The cabinet is finished with D.A.S.’s signature ISO-flex coating. This tough-as-nails outer skin protects the wood from scratches, dings, and moisture.
Horizontal Design: The low-profile, horizontal form factor serves a dual purpose. It keeps sightlines clear when placed in front of a stage, and the upper panel features a pole mount socket, making it the perfect sturdy base for mounting your satellite speakers.
Total Control of Your Tone
Great sound is about integration, and the Event-218A plays nice with the rest of your rig. The rear panel is a command center that gives you the tools to shape your sound and integrate seamless audio into any environment.
Flexible Connectivity: With two balanced inputs (A-B) and stereo HPF (100 Hz) filtered outputs, connecting satellite tops is a breeze. Need to daisy-chain multiple subs? Just defeat the HPF filter for a stereo "loop thru" connection.
Precision Tuning: Every room is different, and the Event-218A adapts to them all. The variable Low Pass Filter (LPF) crossover lets you dial in the range from 80 Hz to 125 Hz, ensuring a smooth handoff between your subs and your main speakers.
Phase and Gain Controls: Sometimes the room acoustics fight you. The onboard gain control and polarity reverse switch give you the immediate power to fix cancellation issues and balance your levels right at the source.
Low End You Can Feel
The D.A.S. Audio Event-218A is the answer for anyone who refuses to compromise on low-end performance, offering tour-grade sound in a package that is smart, rugged, and relentlessly powerful.
