[ATTACH=JSON]204848.vB5-nodeid=204848[/ATTACH] PK Sound is excited to launch the second product from their new Gravity series of subwoofers: the Gravity 218. This new subwoofer is a high-output, low-frequency dual 18” module designed with power and flexibility in mind. With a high-power amplifier, optimized vent design, integration with Kontrol™ software and optional rigging, the Gravity 218 is perfect for a multitude of applications.
Utilizing Integrated Powered Adaptive Loudspeaker (IPAL) technology the Gravity 218 achieves exceptional tonality and low distortion. This space efficient low-frequency module dramatically increases output per cubic volume when compared to traditional dual 18” loudspeakers. The unrestricted vent ensures streamlined airflow, eliminating port noise and increasing output. An 8,000-watt class D amplifier provides efficient high-output power to two high-excursion 18” transducers.
PK Sound president and CEO Jeremy Bridge says, “We’ve released the Gravity 218 as a powerful replacement for standard dual 18” subwoofers. Like the Gravity 30, it is designed to provide unprecedented power for its size. We’ve designed the Gravity 218 to be stacked or flown with optional rigging so it can be used in a variety of applications, from touring to permanent installs. Our team is extremely proud of this new subwoofer and we can’t wait for you to hear it for yourself.”
The Gravity 218 is cardioid arrayable, providing the maximum amount of flexibility when creating large subwoofer arrays, especially when a high amount of directionality is required. The subwoofer is available in both installation and touring versions. Both models integrate seamlessly with PK’s Kontrol™ software, enabling remote access to key DSP features and real-time monitoring. Automatic-Array detection utilizes the module’s built-in IR sensors to quickly map relative cabinet positions in Kontrol™ for a quick and seamless setup of subwoofer arrays. The touring model incorporates an integrated rigging assembly, allowing up to 12 cabinets to be suspended when coupled with the custom flybar.

PK Sound is an owner-operated audio manufacturing and production company headquartered in Calgary, AB, Canada, with offices in San Francisco, CA, USA and Victoria, BC, Canada. PK Sound was born out of the marriage of acoustical engineering and human emotion, in facilitation of the connection between artist and fan. We measure performance as much in the reaction of a devoted fan as in the read-out of a lab instrument. In all we do, wherever the PK logo appears, there can be no compromise, and no end in our desire to achieve new standards of performance, better ways of collaboration, and new avenues of innovation to advance industry technology for all.
Would love to see how these compare with CP-218s from Clair. We know they’re the same drivers, but which cabinet wins?
