Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

Dynaudio 18S Subwoofer

Adding 18S to your Dynaudio monitors will open up a new world of performance that lets you mix and master with painstaking accuracy… and deliver tracks that translate beautifully to any playback system.

Dynaudio's advanced DSP modelling technology acoustically matches the 18S to any Dynaudio Pro Studio Monitor from BM Classic, LYD and upwards, turning two-way systems into three-way set-ups. Its punch is delivered by two of Dynaudio's MSP+ Hybrid Drive units and a 500W amp, for absolute control and power.

Getting the 18S to match seamlessly with Dynaudio professional monitors is key for absolute accuracy when mixing and mastering. That has meant assessing the acoustic characteristics of each of Dynaudio's popular high-end studio speakers, and creating custom performance maps for each one. And it’s future-proof: when Dynaudio add new studio speakers to the line-up, their performance maps will be added for the 18S via firmware updates – so it can grow along with your needs and equipment.

With this information at its disposal, the 18S’s display and menu system lets you select the specific Dynaudio speakers you’re using in your monitoring setup. This means the roll-off can be tailored perfectly. And, if you combine a LYD 48 stereo or surround setup, you’ll essentially have a full-blown four-way monitoring system at your disposal.

The 18S has a selection of RCA or XLR connections for flexibility with your studio setup, and comes with a number of handy features to help more advanced systems too. This includes the ability to set a time delay to ensure the sub and speakers are working perfectly in sync: all you need to do is enter the distance from the sub to the speakers, and the sub will adjusts itself automatically using both time and phase delays.

There’s also a full three-filter parametric EQ to easily defeat room modes that could affect the accuracy of your final recording.


MSP+ Hybrid Drive

The Dynaudio 18S features a brand-new driver design - made from aluminium, rather than Dynaudio's standard Magnesium Silicate Polymer material - with paper backing and an MSP dust-cap on the front. Why place the drivers at each end of the cabinet? Because a subwoofer requires a different balance between stiffness, lightness and damping than standard speaker drivers.

The new MSP+ Hybrid Drive units have been designed specifically with subwoofers in mind, to provide the best performance possible.

Features

  • 500-watt state-of-the-art Class D amplifier module

  • Dual 9in MSP+ Hybrid Drive long-throw woofers for accurate low-end frequency reproduction

  • Preset speaker crossover filters

  • Time alignment for adjusting according to position

  • Three-band, built-in Parametric EQ

  • Dual opposing driver design principle
