Overview

Deus Audio Vera 18 MK2 Dual – Twin 18" Powered Infrasonic Subwoofer System

Two 18-inch subwoofers. 5,000W combined peak power handling. 14.4Hz extension. Dual-subwoofer architecture for reference private cinema.

The Deus Audio Vera 18 MK2 Dual Powered Subwoofer System combines two ultra-shallow 18-inch Vera 18 MK2 subwoofers with dedicated Deus amplification and DSP. Each Vera handles 2,500W peak / 2,000W continuous, giving the dual system 5,000W combined peak / 4,000W combined continuous driver power handling. Deus Audio Machines

At only 11.57 inches deep per enclosure, the dual Vera system is purpose-built for placement behind acoustically transparent screens and for advanced distributed-bass systems where multiple subwoofers can improve output, seat-to-seat consistency, and room-mode control.

Complimentary White Glove Delivery

Complimentary White Glove Delivery is included through The Grid HiFi.

The Grid can engineer the complete dual Vera system around room dimensions, seating positions, screen location, Wave Forming or Dirac ART layouts, amplification, DSP, acoustics, and calibration.

Call The Grid HiFi at (713) 218-8120 to discuss your room and system design.

Two Vera 18 MK2 Subwoofers

Each Vera uses Deus Audio's 18-inch MASS Drive™ driver with an optimized carbon-fiber cone, 26mm / 1.02" one-way Xmax, Klippel-validated motor performance, and TrueTemp™ direct voice-coil temperature monitoring. Deus Audio Machines

With two independent enclosures, the system also gives the designer considerably more placement flexibility than a single large subwoofer—particularly important when optimizing low-frequency performance across multiple cinema seats.

5,000W Combined Peak Power Handling

Each Vera 18 MK2 is rated for:

2,500W peak / 2,000W continuous

Across two subwoofers, the dual system provides:

5,000W combined peak / 4,000W combined continuous driver power handling. Deus Audio Machines

Deus's current AMP2.2500 is specifically designed to drive two Vera 18 MK2 subwoofers, with one amplifier channel dedicated to each subwoofer. Each channel is capable of 2,500W peak into 4 ohms. Deus Audio Machines

14.4Hz Infrasonic Extension

With the specified Linkwitz Transform applied, each Vera 18 MK2 reaches:

  • 23Hz at -3dB
  • 18.8Hz at -6dB
  • 14.4Hz at -10dB

Native response is 30–230Hz at -3dB, with a sealed 12dB/octave acoustic rolloff designed to work naturally with in-room gain. Deus Audio Machines

Only 11.57" Deep

Each enclosure measures just 23 × 23 × 11.57 inches and weighs 87 pounds. Deus Audio Machines

That ultra-shallow architecture allows two Vera subwoofers to be integrated behind an acoustically transparent projection screen, distributed around the room, stacked, arrayed, or structurally mounted using the integrated mounting points.

MASS Drive™ + TrueTemp™

Deus's proprietary MASS Drive™ motor topology is engineered to maintain controlled BL, KMS, and inductance through the driver's full excursion.

TrueTemp™ directly measures voice-coil temperature and sends that data to the amplifier's protection system. Deus's limiter architecture monitors temperature, thermal rate of change, excursion, voltage, and signal conditions in real time. Deus Audio Machines

AMP2.2500 DSP Amplification

The current AMP2.2500 is an especially clean match for the dual Vera configuration: it has two channels, with each channel capable of driving one Vera 18 MK2. Deus Audio Machines

It features Hypex Ncore NC2K amplifier modules, 2,500W/ch peak output into 4Ω, Analog Devices DSP, Wi-Fi DSP tuning, TrueTemp monitoring, balanced XLR inputs with XLR passthrough, Neutrik SpeakOn outputs, 12V trigger control, touchscreen monitoring, and a 2U rack-mount chassis. AC input is 100–240V, with Deus recommending 220V for best performance. Deus Audio Machines

Why Dual Vera 18s?

The advantage isn't simply twice the hardware. A properly engineered dual-subwoofer system gives The Grid more freedom to address room modes, seating-to-seating bass consistency, headroom, placement, and integration.

For larger private cinemas, Deus specifically recommends Vera 18 MK2 as a platform for multiple-subwoofer installations, Wave Forming, and Dirac ART distributed-bass layouts. Deus Audio Machines

Deus Vera 18 MK2 Dual at The Grid HiFi

Two 18-inch drivers. 5,000W combined peak handling. 14.4Hz extension. Only 11.57 inches deep.

The Grid HiFi can design the complete Vera Dual system around the cinema rather than treating the subwoofers as an afterthought—including placement, electrical requirements, amplification, DSP, acoustics, isolation, projection, bass management, and final calibration.

Complimentary White Glove Delivery is included.
