DAS launches new powered subwoofer

DAS Audio has launched the powered UX-218A, a new subwoofer that joins the UX Series range of low frequency systems available in both powered and passive versions. The UX-218A incorporates the latest low frequency transducer designed and manufactured by DAS in Valencia, Spain.  

The UX-218A makes use of two of the newly developed 18UXN4 transducers. The loudspeakers incorporate features such as a 4" sandwich split winding voice coil, a 52 mm peak-to-peak excursion, and a FEA optimized neodymium magnet assembly. Due to the double silicon spider, the 18UXN4 controls the moving mass with high linearity. An aluminum demodulating ring benefits lower distortion and the effective ventilation of the voice coil gap provides for a high thermal rating and reduced power compression. The speaker has an AES power handling capacity of 1,100 W.

The amplifier powering the UX-218A has an output of 2 x 1700 W. A universal power supply with Power Factor Correction (PFC) allows for fail-safe use worldwide. Electronic design such as the fixed frequency switch mode output stage provides for audio accuracy. A set of "smart" protections include thermal, over current, short circuit and overload on the output, clip limiter and high frequency protection keeping the amp and acoustic components safe. Remote monitoring is provided by way of the DASnet monitoring system and software, an audio management application for DAS powered cabinets and processors.

The enclosure is manufactured using birch plywood and finished with an ISO-flex exterior coating. A punched steel grille protects the speaker components. The UX-218 is the version designed for external amplification.
