Description
The dual 18" Yorkville Sound SA218S is a professional, powered portable PA subwoofer from the Synergy Array Series system and is designed to be used as a dedicated subwoofer for the SA153 full-range top or used in conjunction with the SA153 full-range speaker and the SA315S powered subwoofer to create a scalable point-source sound system well suited for professional sound reinforcement companies, rental houses, touring bands, musicians, festivals, concerts, mobile DJs, and other sound providers. Yorkville has invested a lot of time and research into developing and building their own amplifiers, customizing other raw speaker manufacture products, and using sophisticated DSP to optimize performance/protection, resulting in remarkable peak power transients. The SA218S has visceral and punchy transients followed by a massive, enveloping sustained bass tone, making it a great addition to any setup, especially for bass-oriented events. The SA218S has a single XLR input with two parallel XLR outputs for connecting a SA153 speaker or additional SA218S subwoofers. Up to 20 subwoofers/tops can be daisy-chained without signal loss (with balanced cables). Rubber feet and cups are also on the side and bottom to ensure stability when stacking. Four locking swivel casters are on the rear of the cabinet for ease in transportation. A power cable is included.Benefits Bass-Reflex powered subwoofer: 6000W (program), 12,000W (peak)Dual 18" neodymium woofers with 4" voice coilFully scalable for any size eventDesigned for use with Synergy SA153 full-range speaker and SA315S subwooferExceptionally high output and deep bassMeasured max SPL (C-weighted, max hold): 130 dB continuous, 142 dB peakFrequency response ( 3 dB): 30 to 100 HzAdditional Details Crossover frequency: 100 Hz low-passConstructed of high-strength multiply birch plywoodDSP uses IIR filters for crossover and equalizationDSP platform provides processing to prevent over-excursion (X-Max), voice coil overheating (VC thermal), and clippingReduces power operation on limited availabilityFull power transients will be allowed through, but limits if the average power is excessiveWorks by advancing the limiter that limits the voice coil temperatureAverage Power Limit Control 100%: power is limited only by the voice coil temperature75%: music with deep continuous bass will be limited but many types of music will not50%: only certain types of music will not be limited, primarily music without deep bass or where the bass is unprocessed.
