EAW SB818PF - 1800W 18-inch Passive Installation Flyable Subwoofer with 5.3-inch Voice Coil in Black Finish

The EAW SB818PF Black is a high-output, 1800W 18-inch passive flyable subwoofer designed to deliver exceptional bass performance while offering flexibility for permanent installation. As part of EAW's SB Series, this subwoofer is engineered to meet the most demanding professional audio requirements, combining sonic performance with robust physical construction. The SB818PF Black is perfect for a wide range of applications where floor space is at a premium, such as theaters, concert halls, stadiums, churches, and event spaces. Its compact, flyable design allows it to be suspended or mounted in areas with limited floor space, making it an ideal choice for installations that require powerful bass without compromising room aesthetics.

At the heart of the SB818PF Black is a single, 18-inch driver equipped with a 5.3-inch voice coil, providing high power handling and robust low-frequency output. This driver utilizes a neodymium magnet, which delivers tremendous motor strength while reducing the overall system weight. This allows the subwoofer to produce substantial output levels, while maintaining an efficient and lightweight form factor. The subwoofer's direct radiating design is paired with an optimally tuned vented enclosure, ensuring maximum bass response with minimal distortion. The result is a subwoofer that provides deep, controlled bass that enhances the audio experience in any environment.

The SB818PF Black operates across a frequency range of 32 Hz to 124 Hz, delivering deep sub-bass and punchy mid-bass that complements full-range loudspeakers. With a maximum SPL of 137 dB and an RMS power handling of 1800W, this subwoofer is capable of producing the necessary volume and bass energy for large venues. It features 360-degree horizontal and vertical beamwidth, ensuring that the bass is evenly distributed throughout the venue, regardless of the subwoofer's placement. The EAW DSP is used to optimize low-frequency response, ensuring clean, clear bass even at high output levels.

Designed for versatility, the SB818PF Black is ideal for use with full-range loudspeakers in various professional applications. It operates in a single-amp mode, with an 8Ω nominal impedance that ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional amplifiers. The external signal processing via EAW DSP ensures the subwoofer delivers optimal performance, with tailored low-frequency response for a wide variety of venues and acoustical environments. The subwoofer's integrated 4-point rigging system allows for easy suspension or mounting, making it a great choice for overhead installations where space constraints or aesthetic considerations are important.

The enclosure of the SB818PF Black is constructed from durable Baltic birch plywood, ensuring both strength and resonance control. This provides excellent structural integrity and sonic performance over time. The wear-resistant black finish enhances the subwoofer's professional appearance, while the powder-coated perforated steel grille protects the driver while allowing optimal sound dispersion. The subwoofer includes cable chases for concealed wiring and rigging, providing a clean, professional look to the installation. With dimensions of 19.4 x 32.9 x 25.2 inches and a net weight of 114 lbs, the SB818PF Black is compact for its power output, making it easy to handle and install without sacrificing performance.
