The Presonus StudioLive 18sAI is the powered 18" subwoofer in the StudioLive AI-series loudspeaker line, designed to compliment the StudioLive AI-series speakers while being flexible enough to work with other powered loudspeakers.

Description

The StudioLive 18sAI is the powered 18" subwoofer in the StudioLive AI-series loudspeaker line. It is designed to compliment full-range StudioLive AI-series speakers while being flexible enough to work with other powered loudspeakers.
 
Interestingly, it incorporates more digital signal processing than any competitive full-range speaker on the market. This allows it to function as the final component of a true 4-way system when used with StudioLive AI full-range models. The StudioLive 18sAI utilizes the same 2x500-watt bridged power amplifier distribution that powers the low-frequency woofer in the StudioLive 312AI, 328AI, and 315AI. It also features stereo inputs that, with analog pass-thru, can be summed mono.

The 18sAI features two DSP contours optimized for live performance and enhanced low end. It also offers three delay presets: 0m for use with a full-range speaker atop the sub; 1m for use with a full-range speaker on a separate speaker stand; and 2m for use with a full-range speaker on stage. An optional card provides Dante networking.
