S-218 User Manual
v1 October 2019
The four amplifier channels appear on four
speakON connectors on the rear of the DQ Series
amplifiers. S-218 subwoofers require one
amplifier channel.
6.3 - Use with the DQ Series Advanced System Amplifiers
The S-218 will perform best when using DQ Series advanced system amplifiers, as not only are they
state-of-the-art amplifiers, but the onboard DSP provides appropriate high/low pass filter settings
and limiters to get the best from your subwoofers. Please refer to the DQ Series User Manual for
detailed information on using the amplifiers and the System Engineer software.
6.3.1 - Connections
6.3.2 - Preset Recall
The family of S-218 presets is pre-installed on the DQ amplifiers, and as such can be used
following the normal preset recall procedure. The S-218 and it’s flyable variant the ST-
218 utilise the same presets. The presets available are:
S-218.Sub
Standard S-218/ST-218 subwoofer preset
S-218.Card
Cardioid Array S-218/ST-218 subwoofer preset
As mentioned above, these presets are intended to be a starting point and additional work
may be required depending on the venue, the style of content and the end result you are
looking for.
