The busy Audio Distribution Group has another new launch, with two new studio subwoofers from Dynaudio PRO on the way next month.
Dynaudio’s latest 9S and 18S subwoofers are designed to be equally efficient for stereo and surround monitoring applications, handling the ultra-low frequency range. The 9S features a single woofer, while the 18S has two in a push-push opposing dual design with a woofer on each side.
Both subs feature brand new and custom long-throw 9.45in (24cm) woofers developed specifically for the heart of each model. In addition, the new subwoofers come with double front baffles, adjustable low-pass filters from 50Hz to 150Hz and SAT outputs with a defeatable high-pass filter, a signal-sensing auto-power circuit that saves energy when not in use and for larger rooms. It is also possible to daisy chain more 9S or 18S subs, having the first unit control the overall volume for all subs connected.
The 9S has been desinged to be as compact as the previous BM 9S II model, but with a performance comparable to Dynaudio PRO’s larger BM 14S II sub.
Powered by a high-end 300-watt Class D amplifier, the 9S also features a new long-throw MSP driver that delivers low-end extension and SPL performance significantly outperforming the BM 9S II it replaces, while still preserving detail and precision.
Features:
24 cm (9.5”) custom long-throw MSP woofer
Accurate low-end frequency reproduction
300-watt state-of-the-art Class D amplifier module
Sealed, black-vinyl cabinet
37mm front baffle
Master/Slave feature for daisy-chaining multiple subwoofers
Adjustable lowpass filter to set the perfect crossover frequency
SAT output with defeatable highpass filter
Hand-crafted in Denmark
UK RRP £795

The 18S is powered by a 500-watt amplifier and features a powerful DSP engine and built-in presets for Dynaudio PRO studio monitors, as well as time-alignment functionality and a three-band EQ to defeat specific room modes which makes it suitable for a larger surround monitoring system.
However, coupling with LYD-48 essentially turns itcinto a four-way monitoring system, capable of delivering both high SPL and low-volume precision.
Dynaudio has also designed a brand-new driver for the 18S. The new MSP+ Hybrid Drive unit has been developed specifically with deep bass in mind for improved low frequency performance, right down to 16Hz in this case, using a dual-action dampening method. It has paper at the back of the aluminium driver and Dynaudio’s MSP material in a dampening cap on the front, which will counter any ringing from the aluminium.
Features:
500-watt state-of-the-art Class D amplifier module
Dual 9.5in MSP+ Hybrid Drive long-throw woofers for accurate low-end frequency reproduction
Advanced DSP with presets for a wide range of Dynaudio PRO studio monitors
Preset speaker crossover filters
Time alignment for adjusting, according to position
Three-band, built-in Parametric EQ
Dual opposing driver design principle
Master/Slave feature for daisy-chaining multiple subwoofers
