Subwoofer Pros Studio Sub2 18C 18" Subwoofer

The Subwoofer Pros Studio Sub2-18C is a universal sub used for bass extension of any studio monitor. It is sealed and self-powered, offering bass extension to 16 Hz. It has a compact cabinet using an 18” high excursion sub driver with an easy to use control set. It has built in Left/Right XLR summing inputs and a low pass filter at 4 different frequencies of 95 Hz, 80 Hz, 60 Hz, and 40 Hz. The different low pass frequencies make it adaptable to various size “main” speakers.

The Studio Sub2-18C is different from other subs because it specializes in output below 95 Hz, the range which meter bridge monitors are generally not good at. The sealed cabinet with a linear response sonically outperforms subs that make use of ports, transmission lines, passive radiators or other “boost” technology. These boost methods create the sonic impression of bass up around 75-85 Hz but actually suffer a severe roll off after the boost. These boost methods make it more difficult to get proper translation between studio and outside world.

The Studio Sub2-18C’s larger size allows for accurate, increased SPL for larger spaces. The Studio Sub2-18C’s design is ideal for applications where multiple subs are used to achieve evenly distributed low end in large rooms by locating them on different walls. This multiple sub approach at lower SPL can significantly outperform a single higher SPL sub that generates fewer but higher intensity room modes or nulls. The modest price, universal fit, and flexible nature of the Studio Sub2-18C makes it an ideal way to start with one or two and grow your sub system over time.
