Overview

The APS-SUB is an 18″ high output subwoofer that provides powerful and extended low frequency response with immense headroom. Low port compression and optimised enclosure design give a tight, accurate bass response that is ideally suited for dance clubs, mobile or installation applications. The integrated rigging system allows quick and easy flying or ground stacking.

The APS-SUB is equipped with an extremely long excursion 18″ ultra low distortion driver. The strong motor delivers extreme high magnetic flux for increased efficiency. The 4″ voice coil ensures ultra linear excursion of 20 mm / pp at consistent magnetic force.
The state-of-the-art carbon-fiber cone ensures maximum stiffness and low moving mass. Three aluminum shorting rings reduce intermodulation distortion, minimising induction variation whilst reducing thermal compression. This design dramatically reduces the distortion of a typical subwoofer at longer excursion levels, and improves the overall sound quality and performance characteristics of the cabinet.
The APS-SUB is designed to work exclusively with CODA Audio LINUS amplifiers as an integrated solution for DSP control, amplification, network remote control and diagnostics.
The integrated solution ensures optimal performance and protection.

Primarily designed as a subwoofer extension for APS, the APS-SUB is also suited for a variety of applications in touring and installations where compact size, high precision, deep bass with directivity control is needed.
Typical applications are dance clubs, theaters, houses of worship and live sound venues.
