The MODE Audio PIL-218SB passive line array subwoofer delivers deep, powerful bass with dual high-performance 18" Italian neodymium woofers, each featuring a 4" voice coil. With an output of 2000W RMS and 4000W program power at 4Ω, this subwoofer extends down to 30Hz, ensuring a rich and immersive low-frequency response ideal for large venues and live performances.

Designed for durability, the PIL-218SB is built with premium Baltic birch plywood, offering exceptional strength for demanding touring and installation environments. Its front-loaded acoustic design and trapezoidal cabinet minimize distortion, maintaining clarity and precision even at high output levels. Each 18“ neodymium driver is housed in an independent sound cavity, enhancing bass performance, while low-frequency anti-phase hole tuning technology further refines the subwoofer’s response for cleaner, more controlled lows.

The unique vertical trapezoidal design not only reduces the subwoofer’s footprint but also improves heat dissipation and aesthetics. When paired with the PIL-15 full-range hybrid array speaker (sold separately), the PIL-218SB creates a constant-curvature sound wall, optimizing sound coverage and overall performance. For the best results, it is recommended that the PIL-218SB be paired with MODE Audio TTM series amplifiers (sold separately), designed and manufactured by POWERSOFT in Italy. These amplifiers utilize the Powersoft Armonia Plus software platform and support Dante/AES, ensuring that the PIL-218SB operates at its fullest potential.

  • MODE AUDIO PIL-218SB LINE ARRAY SUBWOOFER: The MODE Audio PIL-218SB passive line array subwoofer is equipped with dual high-performance 18" Italian neodymium woofers, each featuring a 4" voice coil. Delivering 2000W RMS and 4000W program power at 4Ω, it provides deep, thunderous bass with a low-frequency response reaching down to 30Hz.
  • TOUR-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: Built with high-quality Baltic birch plywood, the PIL-218SB is designed for durability in demanding live sound environments. Its front-loaded acoustic design and trapezoidal cabinet minimize unwanted distortion, ensuring clean and powerful output even at high output levels.
  • ENHANCED LOW-FREQUENCY DEFINITION: Each 18" neodymium driver is housed in an independent sound cavity, optimizing bass performance. The integration of low-frequency anti-phase hole tuning technology allows for tighter, more controlled bass reproduction, enhancing clarity and depth in every note
  • TRAPEZOIDAL VERTICAL DESIGN: The PIL-218SB’s vertical trapezoidal layout reduces its footprint, improves aesthetics, and enhances heat dissipation. When paired with the PIL-15 full-range hybrid array speaker, it creates a constant-curvature sound wall for superior sound coverage and consistency.
  • OPTIMIZED WITH POWERSOFT-OEM TTM AMPLIFIERS: For maximum efficiency and output, the PIL-218SB is best paired with MODE Audio TTM series amplifiers, designed by POWERSOFT in Italy.
