What size event is the LD Stinger subwoofer suitable for?

The LD Systems Stinger Sub 18A G3 is ideal for medium to large events with 100 to over 1,000 people. It delivers the necessary deep bass pressure for concerts, clubs, or DJ sets, and its 18-inch driver ensures powerful bass down to 35 Hz. Whether for a live band or a mobile PA system, this subwoofer is a reliable workhorse for professional sound.

What is the power output of the LD Stinger Sub 18A G3 and how loud is it?

This active subwoofer delivers 800 watts RMS (1600 W peak) and reaches a maximum sound pressure level of 135 dB. Thanks to the highly efficient Class-D amplifier and integrated DynX DSP, the bass remains punchy, clear, and distortion-free even at the highest levels. Perfect for demanding sound reinforcement tasks.

Is the subwoofer easy to set up and operate?

Yes, setup is very simple thanks to the plug-and-play design and can be completed in just 5-10 minutes. You simply need to connect the signal and power, and use a switch to select the appropriate crossover frequency (80, 100, or 120 Hz) for your top speakers. There is also an M20 threaded flange on the top for easily screwing in a distance pole for a satellite speaker.

What connections does the subwoofer have and what can I connect to it?

The subwoofer features two universal mic/line combo inputs (XLR / 6.3 mm jack) and two XLR outputs for daisy-chaining the signal. This allows you to easily connect devices such as mixers, DJ controllers, or even instruments directly. For power, there is a Power-Twist connector with an output to easily supply power to additional devices (daisy-chaining).

How heavy is the subwoofer and will it fit in a standard car?

The subwoofer weighs 42.6 kg and generally fits in the trunk of a standard station wagon or a larger car. Due to the weight, we always recommend two people for carrying it. However, thanks to the ergonomic handles, it is easy to handle during transport. Dimensions (H x W x D): 67.7 x 54.7 x 74.0 cm. Tip: If you don't want to handle the transport yourself, you can conveniently add our delivery and setup service.

What is cardioid mode and when should I use it?

The cardioid mode is a special DSP setting that significantly reduces bass radiation to the rear. You primarily use this mode on stages when setting up multiple subwoofers as an array. This directs the bass specifically toward the audience while keeping it quieter on stage. This prevents annoying feedback and ensures a much cleaner sound for the musicians.
