NEXT-proaudio has announced the launch of the LAs118A PLUS, the latest evolution of its active front-loaded subwoofer series. Building on the legacy of the LAs118A, this new model delivers enhanced performance, increased versatility, and full integration with the powerful X-NET control platform.

At the heart of the LAs118A PLUS is a newly developed, ultra-efficient network-capable Class D amplifier module, offering peak output performance and exceptional thermal stability. The onboard 96kHz DSP, seamlessly managed via X-NET Software, provides real-time control and monitoring across multiple units in complex environments. Through the intuitive X-NET interface, users can adjust EQ, level, phase, delay, and create unlimited control groups, all with automatic network discovery and signal redundancy between analogue and digital (AES or Dante) inputs.

Designed for maximum flexibility, the LAs118A PLUS can be flown alongside LA210x or SP12 loudspeakers, or used in independent subwoofer clusters. When deployed in ground stack configurations, the integrated M20 pole mount allows effortless pairing with SP12 for high-performance full-range systems. The updated enclosure features enhanced mechanical fittings, a redesigned handle system, lock-pin safety system, and a dedicated transport dolly, ensuring both robustness and operational efficiency on the road or in permanent installs.

Internally, the LAs118A PLUS houses a premium 18″ neodymium B&C long-excursion woofer, engineered for tight low-end response and consistent output under demanding conditions. Combined with the advanced DSP architecture and FIR filtering, the result is precision low-frequency reproduction with optimal phase alignment and tonal accuracy.
