Description
The DAS Audio VANTEC-218A is a high-performance active subwoofer featuring dual 18″ woofers, designed for professional sound systems where maximum output and deep low-frequency reproduction are essential. The VANTEC-218A is a powerful addition to the VANTEC series full-range systems and is ideal for large events, live performances, DJs, festivals, and professional mobile PA systems.
The subwoofer features two DAS 18LX long-excursion drivers with powerful magnetic structures and a 4″ voice coil. This combination is engineered to handle high power levels and large cone excursions, delivering a highly powerful and controlled bass response.
The integrated Class-D amplifier delivers 2000 W continuous power and 4000 W peak power. This allows the VANTEC-218A to reach a maximum peak SPL of no less than 140 dB at 1 meter. The subwoofer has an omnidirectional coverage pattern and is designed for ground-stack use.
The VANTEC-218A features integrated DSP processing and offers various options to tune the low-end to the desired application. With the Deep/Loud EQ modes, users can choose between deeper bass extension or a more direct and punchy sound.
The built-in low-pass filter is variably adjustable from 80 to 125 Hz. Additionally, gain and polarity are adjustable, making it easy to align the subwoofer with the top speakers used and the acoustic environment.
The VANTEC-218A features two balanced XLR inputs. The outputs can be used as stereo HPF outputs for top speakers. When the HPF function is disabled, the outputs function as standard stereo loop-throughs. This allows the subwoofer to be easily integrated into professional PA systems.
The robust enclosure is constructed from birch plywood and finished with the durable ISO-flex™ coating. Handles are located on the sides and rear, and two wheels are integrated at the back to simplify transport of the 69 kg subwoofer.
The VANTEC-218A also features M10 rigging points, enabling professional mounting. Thanks to its compact rectangular enclosure, it is designed for ground stacking and pairs perfectly with VANTEC full-range systems.
The DAS Audio VANTEC-218A is a true powerhouse for professional low-end: two 18″ long-excursion drivers, 4000 W peak power, 140 dB SPL, and extensive DSP capabilities make this an excellent choice for large PA systems and demanding live applications.
