Live-218B Dual 18´´ Powered Touring Subwoofer
When developing our live subwoofers, we focused on making them as flexible and versatile as possible. It is particularly worth noting that our German-made digital signal processor (DSP) is fully network-compatible, enabling groups to be created and programmed together. This provides a clear overview and enables efficient setup. Using our DSM software, you can access the DSP‘s input section, adjust EQs and set delay times effectively for cardioid or end-fire applications. These settings can also be applied to groups, meaning a change is automatically applied to the entire group. This can save a significant amount of time during setup. The five pre-programmed presets include various crossover frequencies, such as 80 Hz and 90 Hz, as well as preset cardioid and end-fire settings.
Live-218B User Interface
Live-218B Dual 18´´ powered Subwoofer
The Live-218B is an active touring subwoofer with a 4,000-watt power amplifier output. Its built-in DSP, which is manufactured in Germany, is fully network-compatible. Using our DSM software, you can access the DSP‘s input section and adjust a wide range of settings. You can also organise multiple Live-218B units into groups and program them in sync. This significantly reduces the time taken to calibrate time alignment and ensure proper phase alignment with line array systems. The system features two line inputs with a link output, enabling a stereo signal to be combined. The Live-218B is equipped with two premium, italian 18″ neodymium woofers. The Class D amplifier module delivers ample power with substantial headroom. The subwoofer comes with five presets, including various crossover frequencies, as well as settings for cardioid and end-fire setups. Any adjustments made in the input section of the DSP can be saved in additional presets. Accessories available include wheel sets, trolleys, and rain and transport protection covers.

Everything Under Control
With our DSM software, you can monitor the Live Aktiv devices remotely and adjust the settings to suit your personal preferences. The Input section provides access to additional EQs, limiters and compressors, as well as delay settings that can be used as a delay line or near-fill supplement with proper time alignment.
DSM Network Client
A single software solution for all devices. The DSM Network Client automatically scans the connected network and lists the DSM devices it finds. These may include SDX power amplifiers, active speakers, active line array speakers or DSM 19´´ devices. With just one click, you can open the configuration menu for the corresponding device. You can also group devices in the Network Client, allowing you to apply configuration changes quickly and reliably across the entire group.
DSM Navigation Menu
To minimise the need to switch between different sections of the software, the navigation menu is located above all panels. The active preset display is on the left and may also include settings that were adjusted during operation. These settings are automatically saved in the active preset and remain available even after a restart. To save the active preset as a fixed preset on the device, assign a name, select the preset number and press the down arrow under 'Device Presets' to save it to the device memory. To load a preset from the device, select the preset number and press the up arrow. Please note that the active preset will be overwritten if it has not yet been saved. To save a preset to the computer, use the 'File Preset' function. The name displayed on the device and the network client can be customised under 'Device Name'. Use the menu buttons to navigate to the relevant configuration panels.
DSM Main Panel
Das Main-Panel bietet eine Übersicht über alle Eingangskanäle und ist mit Gain-Reglern sowie Aussteuerungsanzeigen ausgestattet. Jeder Kanal verfügt über eine Mute-Taste. Wenn das Gerät im Stereobetrieb arbeitet, können die Eingänge 1+2 sowie die Bluetooth-Eingänge „Left” und „Right” gelinkt werden.
DSM Input Panel
This high-quality tool is used to process input signals in the DSM. Starting from the left, there is a gain control with a level meter and a mute button. Depending on the device and settings, the gain level is controlled by digital potentiometers on the front panel. To the right of this are the limiter and delay inputs, as well as the crossover settings for high- and low-pass filters. In the centre is the 10-band equalizer (EQ) and filter unit. Each input also features a 4-band compressor-limiter located at the bottom of the EQ unit.
