Renkus-Heinz DRS18‐2B‐WR Weather resistant (WR), Non‐Powered, 1600 W Pgm @ 4 Ohms

Product Overview

The Renkus-Heinz DRS18-2B-WR is the weather-resistant version of the DRS18-2B non-powered dual 18-inch subwoofer, engineered for covered outdoor and high-humidity installations. This passive 18-inch subwoofer delivers the same high-impact, uncolored sub-bass as the standard model while adding protective treatment for demanding environments such as stadiums, themed venues, and exterior houses of worship spaces. External amplification lets the integrator match the sub to the rest of the system.

Product Description

The DRS18-2B-WR uses two RH model SSL18-7 18-inch cone woofers in a heavily braced 13-ply hardwood enclosure with a perforated metal grille, finished with weather-resistant treatment for protection against moisture and the elements. Rated at 1600 W program at 4 ohms, it produces up to 133 dB program and 136 dB peak SPL with response from 32 Hz to 120 Hz. Looping Neutrik 4-pin connectors or screw terminals support clean multi-cabinet wiring, and the cabinet includes handles, casters, and Metric M10 universal mounting hardware. It is the right choice when a project requires external amplifiers and dependable low-frequency output in an exposed or covered-outdoor location.
