D&B Audiotechnik Z0518.002 V-SUB: High-Performance Cardioid Subwoofer
• High-Performance Cardioid Design: The V-SUB is an actively driven subwoofer with a cardioid dispersion pattern. This design avoids unwanted energy behind the system, reducing the reverberant field at low frequencies and providing the most accurate low-frequency reproduction.
• Versatile Usage: It can be used to supplement V8 and V12 loudspeakers in various combinations. Whether ground stacked or flown, it can be integrated on top of a V8 / V12 array or used as a separate column.
• Durable Build: Constructed from marine plywood with an impact and weather-protected PCP finish. The front is protected by a rigid metal grill and acoustically transparent foam. Each side panel has two handles, and the top panel has an M20 high stand flange.
