To achieve an accurate match between Dynaudio's professional monitors and the 18S, an acoustic profile was created by analyzing each high-end speaker and producing a custom performance map that is stored within the subwoofer's DSP. The back panel of the subwoofer also offers a USB input for trouble shooting and loading new custom performance maps, making the 18S future proof. Should you have non-Dynaudio Acoustic monitors, a generic profile can be selected. Additional features of the 18S include the ability to set a time delay to ensure the sub and speakers are working perfectly in sync, while full 3-band parametric EQs are available to easily defeat room modes that could affect the accuracy of your setup.
The 18S utilizes an updated design to its subwoofer, which is made from aluminum rather than their standard magnesium silicate polymer material. It has paper backing and an MSP dust-cap on the front, which creates a balance between stiffness, lightness, and damping. The MSP+ Hybrid Drive woofers are designed specifically for subwoofers, allowing you to mix and master with accuracy and deliver tracks that translate to any playback system.
