About PreSonus CDL18s

It's the CDL18s Dante-Enabled Active Subwoofer, a powerful and high-quality audio equipment that delivers a robust low-end punch that never leaves you guessing. This advanced subwoofer is an excellent addition to any full-range loudspeaker, and it's the perfect companion for the PreSonus CDL12 Constant Directivity loudspeaker.

The CDL18s is driven by an integrated 1000-watt Class D power amp and features a unique ported design that maximizes efficiency in a compact form-factor. This durable and reliable subwoofer provides articulate sub-bass frequency reproduction demanded by audio professionals. Its custom 18" low-frequency transducer with a 4" voice coil provides 7mm of driver travel before over-excursion, moving more air for a low-end punch you can feel.

When used together in a vertical array or combined for ground-stacked applications, the CDL18s and CDL12 form a complete, coherent loudspeaker system with an even response across the frequency spectrum. The unique port configuration in the CDL18s enclosure maximizes efficiency, creating a big bass sound from a compact cabinet.

The CDL18s is versatile, making it a desirable choice for both installed and mobile sound applications. It's equipped with an integrated pole mount and supports ground-stacked systems with up to two CDL12 loudspeakers mounted up top.

The CDL18s features an integrated PDA-1000, a heavy-duty 1000W Class D power amplifier with robust onboard DSP. For more advanced applications, each CDL18s can be connected to a standard LAN network and remotely controlled using Worx Control software for macOS and Windows.

The locking Ethernet connection on the integrated PDA-1000 power amplifier also provides audio networking capability via Dante. This Dante-enabled CDL18s subwoofer's interoperability with a wide range of equipment makes it a convenient choice for users who need to connect multiple speakers and subwoofers.

The PreSonus CDL18s subwoofer provides articulate low-end performance, Dante connectivity, and a visually stunning appearance in a compact form factor. Combined with its integrated rigging hardware and pole mount, the CDL18s is a terrific companion to the PreSonus CDL12, naturally extending low-frequency reproduction with coherent phase response and an efficient, powerful design that provides the flexibility demanded by modern sound reinforcement applications.

Experience the power and quality of the CDL18s Dante-Enabled Active Subwoofer today. With PreSonus, you're assured of reliable, trouble-free performance. This is our commitment to you.
