Power Dynamics PD18PS 18" Woofer Speaker Driver 500W Aluminum 8 Ohm

The Power Dynamics PD18PS Woofer is a robust aluminium speaker driver designed to deliver high-quality audio for professional sound systems. Constructed around a durable aluminium die-cast chassis, this 18-inch woofer handles an impressive 500 watts RMS (1000 watts max), able to effectively produce deep bass tones and clear mid-range frequencies. With an impedance of 8 Ohms and a remarkable sensitivity of 98dB, the PD18PS is ideal for both live and installed sound setups demanding reliable and clear audio performance.

Detailed Features Explained

Impressive Power Handling and Efficiency

Capable of delivering 500W RMS Output with 1000W Max Power Handling, the PD18PS maintains consistently clear and distortion-free audio even under intense conditions. Its 98dB High Sensitivity for Exceptional Efficiency allows you to achieve higher sound pressure levels using less amplifier power, saving energy and providing room-filling audio effortlessly.

Fibreglass Cone Construction

The woofer utilises a Fibreglass Cone for Precise Audio Clarity. Fibreglass cones are both lightweight and rigid, enabling precise reproduction of audio signals across the frequency spectrum, particularly the detailed mid and bass frequencies. This ensures accurate and vibrant sound quality suitable for a wide range of musical genres and audio sources.

Aluminium Die-Cast Chassis Stability

The Aluminium Die-Cast Chassis for Improved Stability enhances structural integrity, reducing unwanted vibrations and resonance. By reducing these vibrations, the PD18PS ensures cleaner audio output and extends speaker lifespan, providing consistent reliability that sets it apart in demanding situations.

Single Spider Suspension Design

Featuring a single spider suspension design, this woofer achieves optimal linear voice coil movement. This design lowers distortion and maintains a balanced cone position during powerful bass passages, delivering stable audio without sacrificing clarity.

Wide Frequency Response Coverage

A Wide Frequency Response (35Hz - 3.5kHz) allows this speaker to handle deep bass lines efficiently and clearly pronounce mid-range vocals and instruments. This versatility makes it perfect for professional sound reinforcement systems where full-range audio capability is crucial.

Where and How to Use the PD18PS Woofer

The PD18PS woofer excels in various professional audio scenarios and is particularly suited to pro audio technicians, musicians, venue operators, and custom speaker builders. Ideal applications include:

• Live Concert Systems: Suitable for concert halls and live music venues needing reliable, powerful bass and mid-range clarity to enhance musical performances.
