HK Audio PORTABLE SUB 118 A – Professional Active 18-inch Subwoofer

The HK Audio PORTABLE SUB 118 A is the powerful 18-inch subwoofer within the HK Audio PORTABLE SUB series. This active subwoofer is developed for professional mobile PA systems, DJs, live music, events, and rental.

With its large 18-inch woofer, powerful Class-D amplification, integrated DSP, and a maximum sound pressure level of 133 dB SPL, the PORTABLE SUB 118 A delivers deep and powerful low-end reproduction with significant impact.

The subwoofer was developed, among other things, as a low-end extension for the HK Audio LUNAR, SONAR, and POLAR MK2 systems.

Powerful 18-inch low end

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A features a powerful 18-inch woofer with a 3-inch voice coil.

Due to the larger diaphragm surface, the 118 A delivers more low end and more physical impact than the 15-inch PORTABLE SUB 115 A.

This makes it particularly suitable for music styles where a solid and deep bass is important, such as:

• DJ
• Dance
• House
• Live music
• Festivals
• Parties
• Events
• Rental
• Mobile PA

For those who want truly feelable low end, the 118 A is the logical choice within the PORTABLE SUB series.

1,400 watts RMS and 2,800 watts peak

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A features a powerful built-in Class-D amplifier with:

1,400 watts RMS

and

2,800 watts peak.

With a maximum peak SPL of 133 dB, this subwoofer has a significant amount of headroom for professional applications.

This ensures the bass remains powerful and controlled even at higher volumes.

24-bit DSP

Just like the 115 A, the PORTABLE SUB 118 A features integrated 24-bit DSP.

The DSP ensures optimal tuning of the subwoofer and offers various presets for different HK Audio systems.

This allows the user to quickly select a suitable configuration without needing an external processor.

Presets for LUNAR, SONAR, and POLAR MK2

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A is designed as a universal extension for various HK Audio systems.

Presets are available for:

• LUNAR
• SONAR
• POLAR MK2
• General LPF 100 Hz

This allows the same subwoofer to be used in different PA configurations.

This is particularly interesting for rental companies and professional users who deploy multiple HK Audio systems.

Integrated stereo preamp

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A features an integrated stereo preamp.

This allows the subwoofer to be easily incorporated into a 2.1 or stereo PA system.

The connections include:

• Stereo inputs
• Thru outputs
• Gain control
• Polarity switch
• Preset selection

This allows you to build a complete PA without necessarily needing a separate external crossover.

Fanless cooling

A great practical advantage is the passive cooling.

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A does not require a noisy fan.

This means:

silent in operation and less maintenance.

For professional events, theater, presentations, and other applications where unwanted fan noise can be distracting, this is a significant advantage.

Sturdy wooden enclosure

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A is built for mobile professional use.

The sturdy MDF enclosure is designed to withstand the transport and load associated with professional PA systems.

Integrated handles make transport easier.

An optional protective cover is available for extra protection during transport.

PORTABLE SUB 118 A for DJs

For DJs who want powerful bass reproduction, the 18-inch PORTABLE SUB 118 A is an excellent choice.

The combination of the large woofer, 2,800 watts peak power, and 133 dB SPL provides a solid foundation for dance, house, techno, and other electronic music.

A setup with, for example, two active tops and one or two PORTABLE SUB 118 As can be expanded as events get larger.

PORTABLE SUB 118 A for live bands

The 118 A also offers many possibilities for live music.

The deep low-end reproduction gives, among others:

• Kick drums
• Bass guitar
• Electronic drums
• Synthesizers

more body and impact.

For larger live productions, the subwoofer can be combined with multiple tops and potentially a second 118 A.

PORTABLE SUB 118 A for LUNAR and POLAR MK2

The PORTABLE SUB 118 A forms a strong extension for the HK Audio LUNAR and POLAR MK2 systems.

This allows you to expand a compact PA into a system with significantly more low end and more sound pressure.

This makes it interesting for users who want to be able to deploy their PA flexibly for both small and large productions.
