Transform Your Nearfields Into a Full-range Monitor System
While most professional subwoofers are optimized to mate with a specific make, series, or model of main monitor, the Subwoofer Pros Studio Sub2-18C was designed to be a universal sub that blends seamlessly with any nearfields. Tuned for accurate low-frequency response from 95Hz down to an impressive 16Hz, the Studio Sub2-18C is ideally used with a full-range signal sent to both it and the main monitor. Its onboard selectable lowpass filter constrains its upper frequency limit to 95Hz, 80Hz, 60Hz, or 40Hz for easy, flexible integration with any nearfield or midfield monitors.

Easy to integrate into any monitoring setup
Whether a main/subwoofer rig behaves as an integrated system depends on how you set it up with the tools provided. Subwoofer Pros designs their control panels to execute seamless sub/main integration. A confusing, complicated control set, as found on many subs, is both hard to understand and counterproductive to the task at hand. By including only the essential controls, the Studio Sub2-18C also keeps set-up mistakes to a minimum. Sweetwater has extensive experience along these lines, and we can verify that the Studio Sub2-18C is very easy to set up successfully.
Deeper, tighter bass you can depend on
Subwoofer Pros’ Studio Sub2-18C doesn’t skimp on low bass, accurately delivering a full range of tight, deep bass you can depend on to make informed decisions about kick drums, synth basses, and other low-frequency-critical material, along with the overall balance of your mixes. Unlike many subs that only extend to 32Hz or so, the Studio Sub2-18C flatly extends down to 16Hz (±3dB) — low enough to feel the crush of a well-recorded bass drum or the bone-rattling pedal tones of a pipe organ.
Uniform response at every frequency and listening level
While many sub manufacturers use ported or bass reflex designs, Subwoofer Pros know that these designs produce increasing amounts of distortion as monitoring levels increase. The Studio Sub2-18C’s onboard dynamic electronics deliver uniform response at every frequency — regardless of how hard the subwoofer is being driven. Reproducing quick, tight bass with each note having the same emphasis is a primary design goal at Subwoofer Pros, and the proof is in the listing. Add the Subwoofer Pros Studio Sub2-18C to your monitoring setup and hear what you’ve been missing. Your music will sound the better for it!
