QSC LS218 Powered Dual 18-inch Subwoofer

The QSC LS218 is a next-generation, high-performance active subwoofer designed to deliver powerful, controlled low-frequency impact for professional live sound, DJs, touring productions, and installed AV systems. Combining advanced system intelligence with premium components, the LS218 produces deep, tight bass with exceptional clarity and reliability.

Engineered for both portability and large-scale productions, the LS218 is easy to configure and deploy. Whether you're running a simple plug-and-play DJ setup or a fully networked Dante® audio system, this subwoofer integrates seamlessly into your rig. Built-in system intelligence optimizes performance while simplifying setup, saving time on-site.

The LS218 features QSC's Acoustic Linear Phase (ALP) design, allowing smooth integration with compatible QSC loudspeakers for coherent, aligned system performance. This ensures accurate low-frequency reproduction and consistent coverage across the listening area.

For maximum low-end control, two or more LS218 subwoofers can be configured in a cardioid setup, directing bass energy forward while significantly reducing unwanted low-frequency buildup behind and around the stage-ideal for clubs, festivals, houses of worship, and corporate events.
