The onboard digital signal processor makes it easy to pair with speakers from the LUNAR, SONAR, and POLAR series. Dedicated presets automatically optimize the setup to achieve a coherent and balanced system without complex adjustments.

Compatible with 2.1 systems

Thanks to its built-in stereo preamp, the PORTABLE SUB 118 A makes it easy to create high-performance 2.1 configurations. This approach simplifies cabling and reduces setup time on-site.

Gain and phase inversion controls

The built-in controls allow you to precisely adjust the subwoofer’s behavior based on the environment and the speakers used. This lets you optimize the setup and achieve a more consistent low-frequency response.
