INTRODUCTION
The UX series is comprised of systems designed in response to demands for high-output ultra-low frequency solutions. UX-218 and UX-221 are versions of UX series models that have been designed for external amplification. In addition, model UX-218-R is a version with built-in rigging hardware.
The enclosures incorporate front connectors which allow for easy installation when used in cardioid configurations.
FEATURES
UX-218 / UX-218-R
- High performance subwoofer system for external amplification
- Two 18UXN long-excursion loudspeakers
- Front loaded cross-fire configuration
- Solid birch plywood construction
The UX-218 / UX-218-R join the new range of UX Series subwoofer systems in passive versions. The UX-218, or UX-218-R, make use of two 18” 18UXN transducers. The new loudspeaker, designed and manufactured by DAS, offers impressive features such as a 4" sandwich split winding voice coil, a remarkable 52 mm peak-to­peak excursion, and a powerful FEA optimized

ACCESSORIES
Only experienced installers with adequate knowledge of the equipment and local safety regulations should fly speaker boxes.
It is the user's responsibility to ensure that the systems to be flown (including flying accessories) comply with state and local regulations.
The working load limits in this manual are the results of tests by independent laboratories. It is the user's responsibility to stay within safe limits. It is the user's responsibility to follow and comply with safety factors, resistance values, periodical supervisions and warnings given in this manual. Product improvement by means of research and development is ongoing at DAS. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
It’s common industry practice to apply 5:1 safety factors for enclosures and static elements. For slings and elements exposed to material fatigue due to friction and load variation the following ratios must be met; 5:1 for steel cable slings, 4:1 for steel chain slings and 7:1 for polyester slings. Thus, an element with a breaking load limit of 1000 kg may be statically loaded with 200 kg (5:1 safety factor) and dynamically loaded with 142 Kg (7:1 safety factor).
12
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
For the working load of each lift motor, a safety factor of 10:1 must be used.
When flying a system, the working load must be lower than the resistance of each individual flying point in the enclosure, as well as each box.
Hanging hardware should be regularly inspected and suspect units replaced if in doubt. It is highly recommended that you implement an inspection and maintenance program on flying elements, including reports to be filled out by the personnel that will carry out the inspections. Local regulations may exist that, in case of accident, may require you to present evidence of inspection reports and corrective actions after defects were found.
Absolutely no risks should be taken with regards to public safety.
When flying enclosures from ceiling support structures, extreme care should be taken to assure the load bearing capabilities of the structures so that the installation is absolutely safe.
All flying accessories that are not supplied by DAS Audio are the user's responsibility. Use at your own risk when installing flown systems.
ANL-2
The ANL-2 set is an optional set of four eyebolts and four carabiners. (Dimensions in the figure below are in millimeters)
To install an enclosure using this system, the Allen-head screws of the enclosure must be removed and replaced by M10 eyebolts on one side of the enclosure. Each rigging point has 200 Kg (440 lb.) working load limit. Then choose the slings or chains of required load resistance and length, bearing in mind that the length difference between the front and back slings or chains will determine the vertical orientation. Alternatively, vertical orientation can be achieved by using bottom eyebolt point at the back.
Each ANL-2 eyebolt has a rated working load of 200 kg. (440 lbs.). Each ANL-2 carabiner has a working load of 330 kg (726 lbs.). If using other hardware, make sure it is rated to handle the required load.
When using eyebolts, it is important to bear in mind that the rated working load is only true for a load applied in the plane of the eye, and is significantly reduced for other angles. The drawing illustrates the concept. The table shows the variation of the working load as a function of the load angle. In the case of the ANL-2 eyebolt, this means that the 200-kg working load becomes 60 kg at 45 degrees. Do not use eyebolt flying if the load angle is higher than 45 degrees. For vertical orientation, use of an eyebolt beyond that angle is possible (see figure below).
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.

PL-221S
Even though it features integrated rigging points for threaded eyebolts (ANL-2), the most practical use of UX-221 is stacked. Using the PL-221S dolly platform (WLL = 450 kg), we can stack and transport up to three UX-221 units; and care should be taken to avoid roll over when moving them, preventing injuries.
As an example, the PL-221S platform, with one UX-221 on top, can be seen in the figure below.
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements
such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.
PL-221S
PL-UX218S / PL-UX218RS
As for UX-221, a dolly platform is available for transporting and stacking UX-218 units (PL-UX218S, with WLL = 300 kg), and its rigging version, UX-218-R (PL-UX218RS, with WLL = 400 kg). Using these dolly platforms we can stack and transport up to three units; and care should be taken to avoid roll over when moving them.
As an example, these platforms can be seen in the figure below.
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.

RIGGING
Out of the subwoofers in this manual, only UX-218-R can use a frame designed specifically for flying. UX- 218 can be converted to UX-218-R by means of the KIT-R-UX218 accessory kit. Only in this way will the
enclosure be safely suspended.
Note: when handling heavy loads, always wear appropriate clothing and protective elements
such as gloves, safety shoes, etc.
KIT-R-UX218
Therefore, only UX-218-R can combine with the AX-UX218 accessory frame so that enclosures can be flown safely. If an extra pick-up point was needed, a PICKUP-AX-AE40S3 center bar could be added. This is shared with AERO-40A systems, so that PICKUP-AX-AE40S3 allows for easy combining with these line array systems. These accessories can be seen in the figures below.
AX-UX218
PICKUP-AX-AE40S3
Next, we'll show an example of a line array system, with the steps on how to assemble it. The attachment point system is similar to that of the AERO-40A, so, if unfamiliar with it, we suggest you go through the rigging manual for these systems (RM_AE40_03). Looking at the enclosure from the side, it can be seen that the frame is symmetrical to optimise a cardioid arrangement. Acting on the side controls, the attachment parts will release. We'll know that they are locked into place once we hear a click, like the front attachment points on AERO-40A, while the side controls will automatically go back to the initial position when released.

Unless it has already been done, place the enclosure on top of a PL- UX218RS platform.
Note: Bear in mind that the unit is not attached to the platform via quick release pins like other models.
It is in these preparation steps that you need to take into account which units go forward and which ones go backwards in cardioid configurations.
In our example, since it is not a cardioid configuration, all units go forward.
We'll place another unit on top of the one we already had with the guides exposed.
Align the holes and engage the quick release pins on both sides of the enclosures as indicated in the attached figure.
The result can be seen in the attached figure.
In our examples we will only stack two units, but, as you may remember, the platform allows for stacking up to three units.
16
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
Expose the upper guides of the units like we previously did with the lower unit.
Place the side parts of the AX- UX218, each on its correct side (check the silk screening), lining up holes of the quick release pins, as shown.
Next, engage the quick release pins to attach the AX parts to the stacked units, on both sides of the units.
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
17
Attach the pick-up point, or pick-up points, to the holes in the side of the AX parts indicated by Ease Focus, using the quick release pins.
Remember that one pick-up bar only provides a single pick-up point. If another pick-up point is required, an additional pick-up bar is needed.
Proceed to hook the assembly to the motor (or motors, if using two pick-up points).

Lift the assembly slightly and remove the dolly platform so as to be able to add AERO-40A enclosures.
To prepare groups of 4 AERO-40A units on PL-40S platforms, and select inter-box angles, consult the rigging manual for AERO-40A (RM_AE40_03), which can be found on our website. This manual will let you become familiar with the use of the side controls and guides in the enclosures.
Next, place the first group of AERO- 40A below the group of UX-218-R. In this example, two groups of 4 AERO-40A will be attached.
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
19
Expose the guides in the upper AERO­40A. Once the guides are prepared and
aligned, link the two groups together using quick release pins.
Observe the indications present in the silkscreen lettering and use the AERO-40A rigging manual, RM_AE40_03, as additional information.
Furthermore, with the help of Ease Focus software, you will know which pick­up holes need to be used so that the final inclination of the system is the required one.
20
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
Once the two groups have been joined together, you can start selecting angles for AERO-40A units according to the angles indicated by Ease Focus soft w a re, a n d according to the indications in the AERO-40A rigging manual (RM_AE40_03).
Remember that inter-box angles between AERO-40A units have been 0º, so as to allow for a safe transport.
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
21
Lift the assembly slightly and remove the PL-40S dolly platform.
Next, lift the assembly so as to leave room for the second group of AERO-40A (as stated, our example will use a total of 8 AERO-40A).
For the second group, proceed as with the first group, setting enclosure angles before removing the platform.
22
Manual del Usuario / UX series / User’s Manual
The final result can be seen in the attached figure.
F o r disas s e mbly and transport, it is again advisable that you go through the AERO-40A rigging manual (RM_AE40_03), that can be found on our website.
UX-218-R units can be t r a n s p o r t e d in t h re e s (maximum) using their platform.
