INTRODUCTION

 

The self-powered 

UX series

 is comprised of systems designed in response to demands for high-output 

ultra-low frequency solutions. 

UX-30A,  UX-218A

 and 

UX-221A

 are self-powered versions of 

UX  series

 

models. In addition, 

UX-218A-R

 is a version with built-in rigging hardware, and derived model of 

UX-218A

.

 

The enclosures incorporate front connectors which allow for easy installation when used in cardioid 

configurations.

UX-218A / UX-218A-R

- High performance subwoofer system for external 
amplification
- Two 

18UXN4

 long-excursion loudspeakers (18" 

and 4 ohms)
- Front loaded cross-fire configuration
- Solid birch plywood construction

 

The 

UX-218A / UX-218A-R

 join the new range of 

UX  Series

  subwoofer  systems  in  self-powered 

versions. The 

UX-218A

, or 

UX-218A-R

, make use of 

two  18” 

18UXN4

  transducers.  The  new 

loudspeaker, designed and manufactured by 

DAS

offers impressive features such as a 4" sandwich 
split winding voice coil, a remarkable 52 mm peak-
to-peak excursion, and a powerful FEA optimized 
neodymium  magnet  assembly.  Thanks  to  the 
double  silicon  spider,  the 

18UXN4

  controls  the 

moving  mass  with  high  linearity.  An  aluminum 
demodulating ring reduces distortion, and effective 
ventilation of the voice coil gap provides for a high 
thermal rating and reduced power compression.

 

The  enclosure  is  constructed  using  Birch 

plywood and makes use of extensive bracing to 
eliminate  resonances.  The  woodwork  is  finished 
with the robust 

DAS

 ISO-flex protective coating 

for durability. A dolly platform with locking casters, 

PL-UX218S

 for 

UX-218A

 and 

PL-UX218RS

 for 

UX-

218A-R

,  is  available  to  stack  and  move  the 

systems. Protection during transport is provided by 
the optional covers available from 

DAS

 

UX-218A-R

  is  the  flying  version  with  built-in 

rigging.
