Mackie SR18S

18-Inch Powered Subwoofer for Professional Low-End Extension

The Mackie SR18S pushes 1600 W of Class-D power into an 18-inch driver, extending to 33 Hz and achieving a maximum SPL of 133 dB. Handling all low-frequency content for your PA, the sub relieves top speakers to operate with improved headroom. Multi-band compression, managed by DSP, acts only where necessary to maintain tonal clarity even when pushed hard.

Custom Voicing Presets and Transparent Limiting

Select from three voicing modes—Flat, Deep, or Punch—to tailor the bass for electronic sets, rock shows, or general reinforcement. Unlike traditional limiters, the SR18S uses frequency-selective compression for powerful, undistorted sound.
