dBTechnologies INGENIA IGS2 – Professional dual 18-inch active subwoofer

Dual 18-inch power for professional PA systems

The dBTechnologies INGENIA IGS2 is a professional active subwoofer for situations requiring high low-end output, high SPL, and maximum headroom. With two powerful 18-inch woofers, integrated Class-D amplification, advanced DSP, and professional network control, the IGS2 forms a powerful low-end foundation for professional PA systems.

The IGS2 is developed for live music, DJ productions, events, rental, festivals, and larger professional PA systems.

While the IGS1 with a single 18-inch woofer already offers solid low-end extension, the IGS2 goes a significant step further with a dual 18-inch configuration.

2 × 18-inch woofers

The heart of the INGENIA IGS2 consists of:

2 × 18-inch woofers

The dual driver configuration provides significantly more air displacement and low-end capacity than a single 18-inch subwoofer.

This makes the IGS2 highly suitable for applications where the sub-section really needs to deliver.

Think of:

• Large DJ productions
• Live bands
• Festivals
• Concerts
• Touring
• Events
• Professional rental
• Large corporate events

Enormous low-end reserve

A dual 18-inch subwoofer has a major advantage: much more acoustic capacity.

The IGS2 can therefore lay a powerful foundation for professional top systems.

Frequencies around the kick and the deep lows of electronic music especially gain much more impact.

Think of:

kick drum + bass guitar + synth bass + EDM + dance

The IGS2 ensures that low frequencies are not just audible, but also felt.

Powerful integrated amplification

The IGS2 features integrated Class-D amplification.

This makes the subwoofer a fully active system.

You don’t need a separate external power amplifier.

This offers advantages for:

• Mobile PA
• Rental
• Touring
• Events
• Professional installation

The amplifier and DSP are fully tuned to the woofer configuration.

Advanced DSP

The INGENIA IGS2 features professional digital signal processing.

The integrated DSP handles, among other things:

• Crossover
• Peak limiting
• RMS limiting
• Thermal protection
• Delay
• Polarity
• System optimization

This allows the IGS2 to remain controlled and reliable under high loads.

RDNet

For professional users, the integrated RDNet connectivity is a major advantage.

Via RDNet, the IGS2 can be included in a professional network system.

This allows the technician to centrally manage multiple speakers and subwoofers.

Including:

• Level
• EQ
• Delay
• Presets
• Limiting
• Temperature
• Status
• Diagnostics

can be monitored from a central position.

Aurora Net

The IGS2 can be integrated into the professional Aurora Net environment by dBTechnologies.

This allows larger PA systems to be managed clearly.

For example:

FOH → network → tops → subs → delays

Everything can be controlled centrally.

For a rental company or festival production, this is a huge practical benefit.

Professional crossover

The crossover control makes it possible to accurately tune the IGS2 to the top system being used.

This allows you to make the transition between:

subwoofer ↔ top

as smooth as possible.

A good crossover setting ensures a tighter and more homogeneous overall sound.

INGENIA IGS2 for DJs

For DJs, a dual 18-inch subwoofer is naturally a serious piece of gear.

The IGS2 is ideal for:

• Dance
• EDM
• House
• Techno
• Hardstyle
• Festivals
• Large parties

In electronic music, the low-end is often a vital part of the experience.

With two 18-inch drivers, the IGS2 has a significant amount of reserve for this.

IGS2 for live bands

The IGS2 is also excellent for live bands.

The subwoofer can handle the low frequencies of:

• Kick drum
• Bass guitar
• Synthesizers
• Electronic drums
• Samples
• Playback

allowing the tops to focus more on vocals, guitars, keys, and other mid and high frequencies.

IGS2 for festivals

At larger festivals, sufficient subwoofer capacity is essential.

The IGS2 can be combined with professional tops or INGENIA systems to create a powerful FOH configuration.

For example:

DAS/INGENIA tops

multiple IGS2

digital FOH mixer

RDNet

For larger audience areas, multiple subs can be combined.

IGS2 for rental companies

For professional rental, a dual 18-inch active subwoofer is attractive because it delivers high output from a single cabinet.

This means:

fewer separate components → high low-end capacity → professional system.

The IGS2 can be used for diverse productions.

From large corporate parties to live concerts and dance events.

Robust professional housing

As you would expect from a professional dBTechnologies system, the IGS2 is built for intensive use.

The housing is designed for professional mobile applications and features provisions for transport and professional system setup.

The construction is suitable for situations where equipment is regularly set up, broken down, and transported.

IGS1 or IGS2?

In short:

IGS1 = powerful single 18-inch solution.

IGS2 = dual 18-inch power for larger productions.
