About the Turbosound TCS218B-AN-UL 6000 Watt Dual 18" Front Loaded Subwoofer with Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET Networking
The Turbosound TCS218B-AN-UL is a high-power, dual 18-inch subwoofer engineered to deliver profound, articulate low-frequency energy for large-scale permanent installations and major touring productions. This formidable front-loaded design incorporates two long-excursion 18-inch drivers powered by a massive 6000-watt peak class-D amplifier module, which is integrally mounted within the enclosure to create a powerful, self-contained system. The subwoofer is specifically designed to produce extremely high sound pressure levels with exceptional control and linearity in the sub-bass region, making it ideal for applications requiring seismic low-end impact, such as concert venues, large houses of worship, festival sound systems, and high-energy entertainment complexes.
A defining technological feature of this model is its integration of Klark Teknik DSP and ULTRANET networking capability. The onboard digital signal processor provides comprehensive, real-time control over critical parameters including crossover filters, parametric equalization, phase alignment, and sophisticated protective limiting, all accessible via dedicated control software. This allows system technicians to precisely tailor the subwoofer's response to the acoustics of the venue and seamlessly integrate it with the rest of the loudspeaker array. The ULTRANET protocol enables the digital transport of audio, control data, and system clock over a single standard CAT5e cable, facilitating the creation of a fully networked, synchronized, and remotely manageable audio system with pristine signal integrity and simplified infrastructure.
The enclosure is constructed to withstand the immense physical forces generated by its drivers, utilizing robust, tour-grade plywood with extensive internal bracing and finished with a heavy-duty textured coating. It features integrated handles, heavy-duty casters for transportation, and a comprehensive set of rigging points for safe and flexible deployment, including stacking and flying. The combination of extreme output, intelligent networked processing, and rugged roadworthiness establishes the TCS218B-AN-UL as a cornerstone component for professional audio systems where unmatched low-frequency power, precision, and reliable operation are non-negotiable requirements.
