Features
This loudspeaker system delivers high
output, low distortion bass from a small
dual-resonant enclosure and internally-
mounted 18" BWX woofer. It is designed
for portability and includes handles, metal
grill, reinforcing corners, durable carpet
finish and rubber feet. A pole mount is
included for mounting of a high-pass
enclosure.
Description
The Subcompact 18X is a small,
lightweight add-on subwoofer designed to
make it easy to add more low end to the
SP-X Series or other full-range speaker
systems. Other uses include bass guitar
and drum monitoring.
The enclosure is constructed of 7-ply high
density plywood and MDF, and covered
with a heavy-duty black carpet and
reinforced with polymer corners. A black
metal grill covers the front of the
enclosure. Recessed handles on either
side ease portage.
This low frequency enclosure is comprised
of an 18" BWX Black Widow
Kevlar impregnated cone, mounted in a
®
dual-resonant chamber configuration.
This design provides high output and low
distortion by controlling speaker excursion
and acoustically filtering out high
frequencies.
