Frequently Asked Questions
While not the absolute deepest, the Action-S18’s 33Hz response is respectable, prioritizing clarity and punch over sub-bass rumble, a common design choice for live sound applications.
Given the 8 Ohm impedance, a decent-powered amplifier (at least 600W RMS) is recommended to truly unlock its potential and avoid stressing the amp.
While it’s passive, DAS’s Action series is designed to integrate with their proprietary DSP solutions, allowing for advanced tuning and control, though that requires separate purchase and configuration.
