Peavey Dark Matter DM 118 Sub 18" 800W Powered Subwoofer

The Peavey DM 118 Sub is a compact, vented, powered subwoofer system utilizing an 18" heavy-duty woofer, coupled to a power amplifier, with 800 watts peak available power. The full-length black perforated steel grille and sturdy steel handles provide protection and a professional appearance.

The DM Sub features an internal line-level crossover with two high-pass outputs, independently electrically buffered; and one full-range thru output, also electrically buffered.

Peavey’s exclusive Kosmos® C bass enhancer for extra bass punch from very low frequency program material is incorporated for maximum versatility.

A threaded pole-mount system provides a sturdy and stable platform to mount a suitably equipped speaker system above the subwoofer. The DM Series of two-way powered speakers are excellent partners for the DM Sub.

The DM Sub speaker system power amplifier providing the power is a low-distortion, ultra-reliable, fan-cooled unit providing a total of 800W peak available power for the system. The power supply for the power amp is a switch-mode type for low weight and high efficiency. The amplifier features our DDT compression, which virtually eliminates audible power amplifier clipping. Cooling is provided via a low-noise fan for reliable operation under any conditions.

Input is via a combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack with balanced input to the preamp/EQ electronics, and a level control.

An independent pair of High-Pass Outputs provides a buffered and balanced output signal for a pair of satellite speakers to carry the high range of the music, via a pair of male XLR jacks.
