DB Technologies Vio S118 - 1600W 18-inch Powered Bass Reflex Flyable Subwoofer with 4-inch Voice Coil in Black Finish

The dB Technologies Vio S118 is a powerful and compact 1600W 18-inch powered bass reflex flyable subwoofer, designed to provide robust low-end extension for Vio arrays and full-range systems. Featuring a 1x18" neodymium woofer in a horn-loaded configuration, the Vio S118 is capable of delivering impressive low frequencies and vigorous sound pressure levels (SPL) while maintaining a phase-coherent wavefront. The system's horn-loaded design, inspired by the larger Vio S118R, offers exceptional long-throw performance while keeping the cabinet size and weight manageable, making it ideal for both groundstacked and flown configurations.

Equipped with a last-generation Digipro G4 Class D amplifier, the Vio S118 delivers 1600W RMS power with a peak output of 3200W. The amplifier features Power Factor Correction (PFC) and SMPS, providing resilience against line voltage fluctuations and ensuring stable performance in challenging environments. Additionally, the system integrates an advanced DSP with features such as an onboard delay (up to 9.9 ms), cardioid array presets, and system auto-testing for diagnostics. The Vio S118 is fully networkable via RDNet for remote control and monitoring, and it's future-proofed with a modular slot ready for Dante digital audio transmission.

With its robust multiplex plywood construction, durable Polyurea paint, and integrated flying hardware, the Vio S118 is designed for maximum durability and ease of use. The system can be flown using the DRK-210 flybar or stacked with the GSA-VioL210 adapter, making it versatile for various configurations. Its compact design, paired with high efficiency in the lower frequency range, makes it the perfect companion for Vio L210 and other Vio series products.
