FBT SUBLine 218SA Description
The FBT SUBLine 218SA is a high-output active subwoofer engineered for professional sound reinforcement systems requiring substantial low-frequency performance. Its dual 18-inch high-excursion woofers feature 3-inch voice coils and operate in a bass-reflex enclosure to produce deep, controlled bass. With maximum peak output reaching 140dB, the SUBLine 218SA provides the low-frequency foundation needed for live bands, touring productions, DJ events, nightclubs, theaters, and houses of worship.
Powering the dual woofers is an integrated 1200W RMS Class D amplifier with a switch-mode power supply and 2400W peak amplifier rating. Built-in amplification simplifies system installation by eliminating the need for separate subwoofer amplification. The subwoofer's omnidirectional dispersion makes it suitable for individual and multiple-subwoofer configurations in portable and installed sound systems.
Integrated digital signal processing provides six selectable presets, three EQ configurations, and two low-pass filter settings for adapting the subwoofer to different speaker combinations and performance requirements. Digital delay adjustment and a 0-180 degree phase switch provide additional system alignment options. Stereo XLR inputs and link outputs, volume control, and LED status indicators allow audio engineers to manage the subwoofer and integrate it with compatible full-range loudspeakers.
The SUBLine 218SA features a durable Baltic birch plywood cabinet with a protective scratch-resistant finish. Its bass-reflex enclosure is designed for demanding live sound applications, while integrated aluminum handles assist with transportation and positioning. M20 threaded mounting points accommodate compatible speaker poles for supporting full-range loudspeakers above the subwoofer. This combination of powerful amplification, flexible DSP processing, and durable construction makes the SUBLine 218SA suitable for mobile DJs, live music productions, clubs, theaters, and permanent PA installations.
