DAS Audio are known for their professional products at competitive pricing. The
Spanish company specializes in speakers, amplifiers and processors for live
performance. The Action 118A single 18-inch powered horn-based subwoofer
system has been added to the Action series.
A 1 600W, the Class-D amplifier drives the 18LX long excursion bass loudspeaker,
which incorporates a 4-inch voice coil for high power handling. The amplifier also
integrates switch-mode power supply and DSP, with a unique EQ switch for either
deep or loud bass response. Other features include a polarity reverse switch,
filtered output defeat, switch and gain control. The system has two balanced inputs
with stereo filtered output connections for satellite systems. The variable crossover
ranges from 100Hz to 160Hz, although this can be defeated to offer stereo “loop
thru’ connections.
Constructed in birch plywood and finished with a coating of the highly resistant ISO-
flex black paint for durability along with a powder-coated steel grille, the Action
118A incorporates handles on the sides and the rear of the cabinet together with
two rear located wheels to make moving the box easier. The Action 118 is a version
designed for external amplification, which is also compatible with bi-amplified
systems.
