AIR12 Active Loudspeaker
Quick sound adjustment for different setups
The AIR12 is designed to adapt quickly when your setup changes. Built-in DSP presets cover common applications such as DJ playback front-of-house use stage monitoring and speech, helping you get usable results without external processing. You can then fine-tune the sound using onboard bass and treble controls, which is useful when working in rooms with challenging acoustics.
The control system uses a simple encoder and display, so navigating settings is straightforward during setup. This keeps your workflow efficient and reduces the need for additional gear when time and space are limited.
Fuller sound with increased low-end
With its larger 12-inch low-frequency driver, the AIR12 offers more low-end presence than smaller models in the range. It uses a two-way active design with a 1.35-inch compression driver for high frequencies, delivering a balanced response across the spectrum.
Rated at 1200W dynamic power and capable of high sound pressure levels, it provides enough output for live music playback DJs and small band performances. The extended low-frequency response also helps reduce the need for a subwoofer in some setups, making it a practical option for streamlined PA systems.
Flexible inputs and simple system expansion
The AIR12 allows you to connect multiple sources directly without extra mixers in smaller setups. Two combo XLR and 1/4-inch inputs include built-in mic preamps, so you can plug in microphones or line-level equipment with ease.
A stereo 1/8-inch auxiliary input supports playback devices such as phones and tablets, which is useful for background music or quick playback. All inputs are summed internally, giving you a simple mixing solution in one cabinet. If you need to expand your system, the balanced XLR Mix Out lets you link additional speakers while maintaining the same signal.
Designed for portable and installed use
The AIR12 balances durability with portability, making it suitable for both mobile performers and fixed installations. Its multi-angle enclosure allows it to be used as a front-of-house speaker or laid on its side as a stage monitor.
A 35 mm pole mount with tilt options helps you aim the speaker more accurately toward your audience, improving coverage. For permanent setups, integrated rigging points allow suspended installation. Despite its larger size, the cabinet remains manageable to handle, with a moulded construction and steel grille designed for regular transport and use.
Extended warranty
PreSonus has extended the warranty on all AIR loudspeakers from three years to six years. The new extended warranty is effective immediately and applies to loudspeakers purchased on or after January 1, 2016.
"We have great confidence in the quality of our loudspeakers. They have proven to be extremely reliable and problem-free. Our customers are incredibly loyal, so rewarding that loyalty by extending the warranty was an easy decision.'' - PreSonus Director of Customer Services, Alex Tinsley.
AIR18S Active PA Subwoofer
Powerful PA subwoofer
The PreSonus AIR18S features a 18-inch low-frequency transducer as well as a 3-inch voice coil, with a dynamic power rating of 1,200W; more than enough power for a range of audio applications. The result is a powerful yet articulate sound that delivers punch and low-end clarity, perfect for accompanying full-range PA loudspeakers such as the PreSonus AIR series.
Its extended frequency range (30Hz – 160Hz) ensures you pick up every nuance of your audio, ranging all the way down to the bottom end of the frequency spectrum for added thump. The subwoofer itself is driven by the Class D amplification for added detail as well as improving overall performance.
Versatile control
One of the most unique features of the PreSonus AIR18S is the ability to cater to different environments and acoustics. The AIR-series subwoofers feature easy-to-use controls and signal processing presets. You can use these presets to compliment the space you are in, allowing you to use the subwoofer for normal FOH use or add extra thump to the low-end with the Mo’Bass preset.
You can use the controls to perform in an array as well as reverse the polarity, adjust the master output level of the power amplifier, use the low-pass filter and more. You can even turn the grilles LED off for installation applications and more.
Lightweight, portable design
The lightweight yet rugged tour-grade birch enclosure is highly durable as well as being easy to transport. The built-in carry handles allow you to easily manoeuvre the AIR18S to and from live performances, gigs and more.
As well as being portable, the AIR18S also features ground-stacking provisions and more, perfect for demanding installations. The AIR18S includes two combo XLR and 1/4’’ TRS line-level inputs with level control, allowing you to connect a range of audio devices such as microphones and more. The front-power LED indicator can also be disabled for low-visibility installations.
