Achieve remarkable bass extension with the ultra-portable BASSBOSS DJ18-MK3, a single 18" powered subwoofer that delivers massive low-end frequencies effortlessly. The DJ18-MK3 is a direct radiating, vented enclosure, optimally tuned for high sensitivity at low frequencies that offers amazing versatility and practicality for those who need a lot of low end for a wide variety of applications, delivering massive output, reliably, consistently and with great fidelity.

The DJ18-MK3 delivers deep bass at levels far higher than would be expected from its size. Suitable for the truly bass-insatiable who focus onmodern music with frequencies well below the usual 50-100 Hz range, this compact sub weighs only 110 lb and delivers output down to 27 Hz (-3dB). The DJ18-MK3 includes a Neutrik powerCON True1 TOP power cable.

What's New

MK3 Amp Update

• There are all-new amplifiers in the MK3 series. Total power has increased, however power allocated to woofers increased substantially. The higher output voltages provide more impact. Universal input voltage compatibility of 90-250V provides more flexibility. Waterproof connections provide more peace of mind.

MK3 Enhanced DSP

• The MK3 features an all-new 96 kHz DSP. The pushbutton presets have doubled, from 4 to 8, and up to 100 presets can now be stored in the DSP and loaded via LAN. The comprehensive suite of processing includes meticulously tuned equalization, all necessary high-pass and low-pass filters as well as multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible.

ControlBASS Software

• ControlBASS software supports an essentially unlimited number of possible BASSBOSS-developed or customized user presets which integrate seamlessly and coherently with all other BASSBOSS products for effortlessly perfect setups. The latest in DSP programming developments can be added via easy remote updating.

DJ18-MK3 Design

Single 18" direct-radiating subwoofer featuring a long-excursion woofer loaded into a vented enclosure that is optimally tuned to deliver flat frequency response to very low frequencies with high sensitivity. The cabinet was designed to minimize mass and maximize efficiency. The point is to do less heavy lifting and deliver more heavy bass.

Advanced Power

• The DJ18-MK3 features a 2500W amplifier with an auto-sensing, globally compatible power supply that can run on mains supplies anywhere between 90 and 250 Volts. Full output power is available on anything over 110V. The amplifier’s high peak-output voltage provides intense high SPL hits, while its sustained output is unparalleled in its ability to deliver those liquid lows.
• The amplifier is passively cooled via its external heat-sink and by woofer-generated airflow through the port. When necessary, two blower-fans are engaged to provide additional forced-air cooling capacity in more extreme conditions.

Rugged 18" Driver

• Single 18" woofer with neodymium motors and with massive 4.5" voice coils
• Neodymium magnets provide higher intensity and efficiency, resulting in a lighter and louder cabinet than those with ferrite drivers

Comprehensive Digital Signal Processing

The comprehensive suite of processing includes high-pass and low-pass filters as well as multiple protection systems and limiters to prevent driver overload in as many ways as possible, including thermal, excursion, and clipping. The five levels of protection actively prevent overheating of the voice coil, minimize long-term thermal compression and limit excursion. Because they operate in 5 different modes, the limiters are sophisticated enough to have a largely unnoticeable effect on the transient response and allow the subwoofer to deliver peak output safely.

etherCON Interface

• The new DSP features an Ethernet interface that can be used to control the cabinets from a computer or to load software or firmware updates. The ethernet connectivity in conjunction with the DSP board allows signal to be sent via Milan AVB. Firmware updates will provide access to this feature.
• Within the software, multiple cabinets can be grouped together, allowing them to respond to commands simultaneously. This permits the levels of multiple loudspeakers to be adjusted together and yet independently from the levels of other groups of loudspeakers. In addition to individual and grouped level controls, presets can be loaded and signal levels and temperatures can be monitored. Each cabinet includes a two-port switch so multiple cabinets can be chained on the same data cable.
• The MK3 DSP features storage capacity of up to 100 presets, eight of which can be accessed at the touch of a button with no need for a connected computer. The eight directly accessible presets are compatible with all the presets in the MK3 Top Boxes and are also compatible with previous generation tops and subs.

Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP

New to the MK3 are Neutrik powerCON True 1 TOP (Total Outdoor Protection) waterproof mains connectors. Waterproof mains connectors along with a totally isolated input connection section and cones that are waterproofed make the MK3 series the powered loudspeakers that can be used outdoors without fear of what the weather will bring. (Or used indoors without fear of what the partiers bring).
