Renkus-Heinz DR18‐2B‐RD Self‐powered, SA2000‐RD Amp, Analog or AES/...
Product Overview
The Renkus-Heinz DR18-2B-RD is a self-powered dual 18-inch subwoofer with an integrated SA2000-RD amplifier module, RHAON II network control, and dual-redundant Dante audio networking. This powered 18-inch subwoofer is built for mission-critical commercial AV systems that demand deep low-frequency output with redundant audio transport and centralized monitoring. It suits houses of worship, auditoriums, and multi-purpose rooms where Dante-based distribution and system reliability are priorities.
Product Description
The DR18-2B-RD pairs two RH model SSL18-7 18-inch cone woofers in a heavily braced 13-ply hardwood enclosure with an integrated Renkus-Heinz SA2000 amplifier module. The SA2000 can be configured for a single channel of 2000 W into 4 ohms to drive the dual-woofer load. Beyond the analog and AES/EBU inputs found on every SA-Series module, the -RD configuration adds dual-redundant Dante, carrying audio and RHAON II control over the network with automatic failover. Native DSP provides delay, equalization, and nine preset memories, and the proprietary Amplifier Mute engages during program pauses. Frequency response extends from 32 Hz to 120 Hz. Black, white, natural, custom-color, and weather-resistant finishes are available, with handles, casters, and Metric M10 mounting hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does dual-redundant Dante provide?
It carries audio and RHAON II control over two network paths so that audio continues if the primary path fails, which is valuable in critical installations. Note that daisy-chaining is not available when operating in redundant mode.
Does it need an external amplifier?
No. The DR18-2B-RD is self-powered with an integrated SA2000-RD amplifier module. The non-powered DRS18-2B offers the same acoustic platform for externally amplified systems.
How is it configured and monitored?
RHAON II software handles Ethernet-based control, DSP configuration, and system health monitoring. Onboard DSP includes delay, EQ, and nine preset memories.
Is an outdoor version available?
Yes. The DR18-2B-RD-WR adds weather-resistant construction for covered outdoor and high-humidity environments.
What warranty and support are available?
Warranty terms vary by configuration. Contact Creation Networks for current Renkus-Heinz warranty details and system support.
