Custom-designed 18-inch driver

Your new PreSonus CDL Sub18 powered subwoofer comes loaded with a custom 18-inch woofer. The speaker cone is paired with a 4-inch voice coil and 2,000 watts (peak) of Class D power. The assembly is extremely robust and can handle 7mm of travel before over-excursion. Together, those elements enable the subwoofer to produce a highly detailed bass response fit for every occasion. Whether you’re using it on the road or as part of a permanent installation, the CDL Sub18’s custom driver really delivers the goods.

Great for touring acts

PreSonus designed the CDL Sub18 to be the perfect traveling companion for tours, performers, and mobile DJs. In addition to its custom-designed low-frequency driver, this unit has a road-ready enclosure. The lightweight and durable enclosure, paired with a robust steel grille, ensures this speaker is ready for prime time — night after night. While the CDL Sub18 is an excellent touring subwoofer, it’s equally capable of permanent installation in a venue.

Onboard DSP

Included DSP makes the CDL Sub18 more versatile than other PA subwoofers. First, it has a variable lowpass filter to perfectly dial in the crossover point. You also get a pair of output power presets to optimize the bass performance according to your environment and application. The DSP also offers polarity inversion, allowing you to create a cardioid subwoofer array. Finally, the CDL Sub18 includes limiter protection to safeguard your speaker from signal spikes and other electrical woes.
