Biamp Community IS6-218 Medium Power Dual 18-Inch Subwoofer (White) - 911.1141.900

The Community IS6-218 is an I Series Subwoofer 600 dual 18" 1400W (4 Ohms) passive installation subwoofer. It is a subwoofer that is well-suited for a range of applications, including houses of worship, auditoriums, restaurants, meeting rooms, corporate A/V systems, arenas, stadiums, or any other application where extended low-frequency reinforcement is required.

I Series Subwoofer 600 loudspeakers provide exceptional acoustic performance, as well as modular flexibility, and elegant aesthetics for use in modern performance venues. Designed to support the goals of systems integrators and consultants alike, both acoustically and mechanically, I Series Subwoofers provide a wide range of sizes and capabilities that enable specific matching to the needs of any modern venue.

Each cabinet has been carefully engineered to offer matching heights, face widths, plus suspension point locations for seamless integration into flown arrays with I Series full-range models. The broad selection of optional low profile fly rails, fly frames and modular array brackets reduces design and installation time while also providing improved aesthetics and nearly limitless integration possibilities.

The IS6-218 is a direct radiating subwoofer with large, balanced ports that provide optimal enclosure tuning and even air pressure distribution to the driver cones, reducing distortion and extending system longevity. Drivers are loaded into individual air volumes within the enclosure, isolating their performance from one another. This arrangement not only provides additional protection to drivers in case of failures, but also allows the designer to implement directional subwoofer techniques, like steered end-fire arrays and cardioid patterns, within a single enclosure when using any I Series dual driver subwoofer model.
