Power Dynamics PD Combo 1800 - 1800W 2.1 Active Sound System with DSP
The Power Dynamics PD Combo 1800 is a complete 2.1 active sound system designed to deliver exceptional power and clarity in a portable format. With a peak power of 1800W (900W RMS), this system is the perfect solution for mobile DJs, musicians, presenters, and event organizers who need professional audio performance without the hassle. The system combines a powerful 18-inch active subwoofer that provides deep, punchy bass with two 10-inch satellite speakers that reproduce mid and high frequencies with extraordinary clarity, ensuring a balanced and nuanced sound in any situation.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art Class D amplifier, the PD Combo 1800 is not only powerful, but also efficient and lightweight. Its intelligent digital sound processor (DSP) is the brain of the system, optimizing audio quality in real time and protecting the components. Furthermore, its integrated Bluetooth connectivity allows for wireless audio streaming from any compatible device, offering maximum flexibility for playing background music or backing tracks without the need for cables.
Main Features
Superior Power and Performance
The system is powered by a Class D amplifier that intelligently distributes power: 600W RMS for the subwoofer and 150W RMS for each of the two satellites. This 2.1 configuration ensures that each component operates within its optimal frequency range. The 18-inch subwoofer, with a robust 3-inch voice coil, is capable of reproducing bass frequencies down to 32Hz, creating a solid and powerful foundation for any musical genre. The 10-inch satellites, equipped with a 1.35" compression driver, deliver clear and detailed vocal and instrumental reproduction, reaching up to 18,000Hz.
Intelligent DSP Processor with 3 Presets
The heart of the PD Combo 1800 is its advanced 24-bit/96kHz DSP processor. This chip not only manages the electronic crossover and limiter to protect the equipment from signal spikes, but also offers three EQ presets to adapt the sound to any environment at the touch of a button:
-
FLAT: Neutral frequency response, ideal for monitoring or when using an external equalizer.
-
DJ: Equalization with enhanced bass and treble, perfect for electronic music and DJ sessions.
-
LIVE: Optimized for live performances, enhancing the clarity of voices and instruments.
Professional Connectivity and Total Control
Designed for versatility, the subwoofer's rear panel features a wide range of connections, including balanced XLR, 6.3 mm jack, and RCA inputs, allowing you to connect mixers, controllers, instruments, or music players. Bluetooth connectivity also facilitates wireless audio streaming. NL2 (Speakon) speaker outputs ensure a secure and professional connection to the satellite speakers. For even greater control in complex environments, it includes a 180° phase switch and a ground lift switch to eliminate unwanted hum.
Designed for the Tour
Portability is a key design factor for the PD Combo 1800. Despite its power, the use of a Class D amplifier and lightweight construction materials keeps the weight manageable. The subwoofer is equipped with integrated carrying handles and an included set of wheels for easy transport. The satellite speakers feature 35mm pole mounts for standard poles or tripods, allowing for quick setup and optimal sound dispersion.
