PreSonus AIR18s - 18" 1200W Active Subwoofer

PreSonus AIR18s - 18" 1200W Active Subwoofer

The PreSonus AIR18s is designed to complement any full-range PA loudspeaker and a perfect companion for the PreSonus^® AIR10, AIR12, and AIR15. The AIR 18 subwoofer delivers a powerful, clear, and accurate low-end punch. With its 18-inch low-frequency transducer, driven by 1,200 watts of Class D power, it provides plenty of detailed bottom end—all the way down to 30 Hz. Yet it is portable and well suited for mobile applications, as well as installed systems.
