General

The DLM-12SA is the subwoofer from the DLM Series, which is equipped with a built-in amplifier that produces 2,000 W of peak power. This unit really is an excellent combination with the DLM-12A satellite speaker, but can also be combined with other speakers. The DLM units are all designed for mobile use and therefore very compact. Also, this particular unit only weighs 18.7 kg!

DLM-12SA: technology

The power of this subwoofer is provided by a 1,000W RMS class-D amplifier. Class-D's all use a switching power supply, so that heavy and unwieldy transformers are no longer required! The 1,000 watts are converted into an audible sound by a sturdy 12-inch woofer, which gives the subwoofer a range of up to 35 Hz, as well as a maximum SPL of 128 dB. This DLM-12SA is equipped with a top flange that can hold a distance rod on which you can mount the satellite speaker. The 12SA will function as a solid basis for your speaker system.

Total control with DSP

The back of the 12SA features a place for the optional USB DSP module. Using the DSP module makes it possible to adjust the internal DSP via a PC or laptop. That means yo ucan adjust the input volume, the EQs, and a variety of high-pass and low-pass filters. The DLM-12SA also features two independently adjustable XLR/jack combo inputs. ​You can daisy chain the signal from the crossover to the satellite speakers via two XLR outputs. The complete signal can also be transferred via the 2 XLR thru outputs.

DAP DLM-12SA active subwoofer
Wrote the following about DAP DLM-12SA active subwoofer
Je viens de tester ce caisson basse seul avec des satélites JBL amplifiés. Je n'ai pas testé avec l'application qui est en option ! Mais j'ai préféré le DAP DLM-12SA qui cogne le plus fort, avec des bonnes basses profondes excellent pour équouter du funk (rappersdelight ou de la housse, dance etc...).

La définition de la basse ( lorsqu'on équoute le caisson seul: ce qui n'arrive pas en soirée)n'est pas aussi parfaite que la DAP DLM-12SA , mais le DAP DLM-12 SA cogne moin fort !

J'ai également testé le SAMSON AURO D1200 qui était mon second choix après DAP DRX-12BA .

Donc pour moi après 1 heure de test Ce caisson est bon avec des basse bien définie mais j'ai préféré le DAP DLM-12SA !

Ik heb deze sub nu twee jaar. Al heel wat optredens gedaan met deze sub maar heb nog geen dag spijt van deze. De mooie volle diepe bas die deze speaker geeft doet je toch denken aan 15 of misschien wel 18" Ja 18 kg aan gewicht dat is natuurlijk fantastisch voor een sub. Ik gebruik deze samen met de mackie srm 450

Heavy, yet Portable: the JBL EON618S

Thursday 15 October 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

A subwoofer with an 18-inch speaker and a 1000-watt amplifier for 134 dB of bass; that must be heavy, right? You might be surprised to know that it weighs just 35.5 kg! Yes, that's right, you no longer have to worry about giving yourself a back injury every time you need to transport a serious subwoofer. The JBL EON618S is this subwoofer's name and making noise is its game!

More Bass with QSC K Cardioid Subwoofer and E Series

Thursday 12 January 2017 By Lizanne

With a regular subwoofer, you can often lose low tones. QSC has found the solution to that problem and named it the K Cardioid. They plan to officially launch this active sub at the 2017 NAMM show next week. It has a cardioid directional pattern at its core which effectively prevents low frequencies from escaping via the rear or sides of the cabinet, resulting in more bass and a higher sound pressure level!
