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
UX-218
FRONT CON NECTORS FOR
CARDIOID C ONFIGURATI ONS
neodymium magnet assembly. Thanks to the
double silicon spider, the 18UXN controls the
moving mass with high linearity. An aluminum
demodulating ring reduces distortion, and effective
ventilation of the voice coil gap provides for a high
thermal rating and reduced power compression.
UX-218-R
The enclosure is constructed using Birch
plywood and makes use of extensive bracing to
eliminate resonances. The woodwork is finished
with the robust DAS ISO-flex protective coating
for durability. A dolly platform with locking casters,
PL-UX218S for UX-218 and PL-UX218RS for UX-218-
R, is available to stack and move the systems.
Protection during transport is provided by the
optional covers available from DAS
UX-218-R is the flying version with built-in
rigging.

INSTALLATION AND ACCESSORIES
INSTALLATION
When boxes are flown in cardioid configuration, connect the turned units at the front for tidier wiring as
shown in the figures (rear views).
SpkC_10
SpkC_10
Simply plug the cable into the front NL4 speakON connector. Carefully observe the label directions
for proper connection of speakers:
LF1 (±1) & LF2 (±2)
[UX-221]
LF1 & LF2 (±1)
[UX-218 / UX-218-R]
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.

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.

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.

ANNEX : Table for cable selection
This table shows the power loss in % and dB, for different cable lengths and sections shown. It is
recommended that the losses do not exceed 30% in any case (around 3dB). Although it is recommended
minimizing losses, the maximum acceptable losses are usually around 15% (approximately 1.4dB).
