Mackie S218s
18" Passive Subwoofer
Mackie's new S218s Precision Passive Subwoofer is the ideal solution
for adding massive, precise low-end to the S215 or S218 loudspeakers,
or any existing sound system. Designed and tuned by the touring experts
at Eastern Acoustic Works (EAW), this very capable 18" subwoofer
simply outperforms other passive subs in its class, as one listening
test will quickly affirm. Yet with its convenient carry handles, good
ergonomic design, and durability, the S218s is also ready to travel.
Designed to Punch
The S218s is capable of extremely high sound pressure levels, thanks
to an 18" high-output LF driver (woofer) and a solid Baltic Birch
wood cabinet with bass reflex design. The long-throw woofer incorporates
technology used in large-format touring systems and can absorb more than
its share of punishment. The built-in low-pass filter allows you to connect
a full-range signal directly to the input of the subwoofer without the
need for additional crossovers.
Built Mackie Tough
With subwoofers in particular, solid enclosure design
is a must. The S218s is constructed using both 18mm multi-layer Baltic
Birch plywood and pressure injected structural resin, delivering a very
big "knock" factor
from the moment you plug in. Super-tough PVC vinyl covering and industrial-grade
steel grill repel the slings and arrows dished out in typical live environments
with far greater effectiveness than the typical belly button lint covering
and nylon grill of the competition. A carrying handle is integrated into
each side for easy loading and transport.
The Right Connections
Few things are as frustrating as having the wrong
cable for hooking up. Connecting and setting up the S218 is a breeze.
It accepts a speaker-level signal via either a Neutrik Speakon® connector
or female 1/4-inch TS (Tip/Sleeve) connector, so now you don't have to
remember to bring the right adaptors either.
