Overview

2000W 18" Professional Powered Subwoofer

The Mackie DRM218S is a 2000W 18" powered subwoofer designed for medium-sized theaters to large music venues as well as DJs, clubs, houses of worship, and rental systems. The integrated Class-D amplifier utilizes professional-quality protection and Power Factor Correction (PFC) technology to ensure peak performance, while the Advanced Impulse DSP provides acoustic correction and time alignment via precision tuned FIR filters for a clear, punchy sound. The DRM Control Dashboard features a high-contrast, full-color display for quick access to EQ, voicing modes and more.

A professional-grade 18” woofer is housed in the texture-coated 15mm plywood cabinet with internal bracing to provide optimal acoustic performance, while the front-ported direct radiating design provides maximum punch and a deep low-frequency response with a range of 35 to 150 Hz (-10 dB) and a peak SPL of 135 dB. The rear panel includes dual independent input channels with Full-Range Direct and High-Pass outputs. The integrated pole cup is designed for use with DRM Series loudspeakers or other pole-mounted speakers. The Mackie DRM18S is flyable via optional FB100 Fly Bar and FKDRM18S Flyware kit.
