Overview
A terrific complement for any full-range loudspeaker and the perfect companion for PreSonus® CDL-series loudspeakers, the CDL18s Dante®-enabled Active Subwoofer delivers tight, coherent low-end, driven by an integrated 1,000-watt Class D power amp, and features a unique ported design that maximizes efficiency. Its powerful, articulate sub-bass performance and compact design make the CDL18s a great choice for installed and mobile sound.
The CDL18s features a 18-inch LF transducer with 4-inch voice coil, providing 7 mm of driver travel before over-excursion to move more air for a low-end punch you can feel. When flown in a vertical array, or combined for ground-stacked applications, the CDL18s and CDL12 or CDL12P form a complete system with an even response across the frequency spectrum.
An integrated pole mount supports ground-stacked systems with up to two CDL-series loudspeakers. For more bass, rig two CDL18s subs together and mount one CDL loudspeaker, using a 19-inch sub pole. Integrated pin-loaded rigging makes it easy to fly up to five CDL18s subwoofers or suspend two CDL18s subs with five CDL loudspeakers for a complete constant-curvature array system.
The power amp features DSP presets for arrayed configurations. For advanced applications, each CDL18s can be connected to a standard LAN and remote-controlled using Worx Control software for macOS and Windows. A locking Ethernet connector provides Dante networking for interoperability with a wide range of equipment.

Highlights
The CDL18s’ Unique Port Configuration
The CDL18s port configuration creates big bass in a compact cabinet. The four triangular ports are placed in corners so they couple to the cabinet and take advantage of the side walls to effectively elongate each port, allowing the CDL18s to move more air, while avoiding port chuffing and minimizing baffle reflections for better phase coherence.
Worx Control Software
Worx Control software provides CDL-series management tools, including compression, limiting, and 800 ms of delay. An eight-band EQ with individually selectable filter types compensates for room anomalies. Speakers can be grouped and managed individually or together. Performance monitoring indicators monitor temperature and signal levels.
CDL-series Rigging Accessories
CDL loudspeakers and rigging hardware are rated for a 10:1 load. The CDL Rigging Grid is required for flown installations. The CDL Rigging Extension Bar provides tilt control. The CDL Rigging Sling is required with 4 or more CDL loudspeakers in a vertical array and when using the CDL Rigging Extension Bar with a tilt of 12˚ or greater.
PreSonus® Six-Year Warranty
When you choose CDL-series loudspeakers and subwoofers, you choose confidence. Rest assured that your PreSonus® speakers are in it for the long haul. We take our build quality seriously, and if anything goes wrong with them in your first six years of ownership (assuming you don’t abuse them), the repair or replacement is on us.
