Sunlight/Heat
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this may cause the unit to overheat and thermally shut off.
Excessively hot operating conditions can also cause a thermal shutdown.
Do not store in extremely hot or cold conditions or extremely high humidity. Always allow unit to come to room
temperature before use.
Cleaning
Never clean the RBN™118 Sub while plugged in or turned ON! When the unit has been fully disconnected from
AC power sources, use a dry cloth to remove soil or other dirt. Never use strong solvents on the RBN™118 Sub, as
they could damage the cabinet. Do not allow ANY fluids to drip inside the RBN™118 Sub.
Touchup
For a touch-up of any damage to the black polyurethane coating textured finish of the RBN™118 Sub, you can use
a black spray paint such as Peavey Commercial Sound, Black Touch-Up Paint, Peavey part number 00052110.
Follow the directions on the can for safety and best results.
Check for Secure Hardware
The unit is subject to a great deal of vibration, and this could cause the hardware to loosen with use. After the
first few weeks of use and periodically thereafter, check the hardware of the RBN™118 Sub for tightness, includ-
ing the power amplifier rear panel screws, the grille screws, and the bolts that hold the casters. Hardware should
be firmly tight, but do not over-tighten, as this could strip out the screw or bolt anchor.
Architectural and Engineering Specifications
The powered loudspeaker system shall have a frequency response from 38 Hz to 112 Hz. The peak SPL with
inaudible distortion shall reach 128 dB with music as a source, when measured at a distance of 1M and driven to
full output capacity. The system shall utilize an 18" Peavey® Low Rider™. woofer in a vented enclosure tuned to 39
Hz.
The powered loudspeaker system shall have two mixed input channels consisting of a medium impedance input
connector consisting of one combo female XLR and 1/4" TRS phone jack on the rear panel. Channel two shall
have a 3.5 mm input jack as well.
There shall be a Direct Thru (output) connector consisting of a male XLR jack.
The output of this jack shall be switchable between just Ch. 1 input and a Mix of Ch 1 and Ch 2. There shall be a
filtered high-pass output providing a crossed over signal to a satellite speaker.
The system power amplifiers shall have an unfiltered frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz which deviates no
more than +1, -3 dB up to rated power, hum and noise better than 90 dB below rated power, and THD and IMD
typically of less than 0.1%.
The woofer amplifier shall each be capable of 1000W continuous into a 8 ohm nominal load, and 2000W peak
available power, and incorporate signal compression and limiting.
The input signal shall be electronically divided into high frequencies and low frequencies by a Linkwitz-Riley
fourth order slope line-level crossover, with crossover frequencies user selectable from 100 Hz, 110 Hz or 120
Hz. The low frequencies shall be processed to provide bass boost, subsonic filtering and overall response shap-
ing, and the high frequencies shall be made available either flat or equalized for response-shaping via user select-
able EQ presets.
The enclosure shall be constructed of 18 mm birch plywood with a textured black polyurethane coating. A pair
of steel handles shall be incorporated on the top and bottom of the cabinet (either end when in transport orien-
tation on the casters), and four sturdy rubber feet for floor standing use.
A full-length powder-coated metal grille shall be provided for woofer protection. The cabinet shall incorporate a
threaded pole mount for a pole to be used for a satellite speaker, and the threaded pole shall be included.
The outside dimensions shall be: 29.84" (83.5 cm) tall x 22.07" (56.1 cm) wide x 24.75" (62.9 cm) deep, and the
