EAW RSX18F - 1000W 18-inch Powered Flyable Subwoofer with 3-inch Voice Coil in Black Finish

The EAW RSX18F is a powerful 1000W 18-inch powered flyable subwoofer designed to deliver exceptional low-frequency performance in a compact and versatile package. Built to meet the needs of rental firms, system integrators, and installations with limited floor space, the RSX18F offers an ideal solution for subwoofer placement where traditional floor-mounted units are not feasible. Its flyable design allows for flexibility in both permanent installations and mobile setups, making it an excellent choice for venues that require high-quality bass while maintaining a clean aesthetic. This subwoofer is engineered with EAW's signature acoustical design, providing superior low-frequency response with minimal distortion, even at high output levels.

The RSX18F features a powerful 18-inch low-frequency transducer with a 3-inch voice coil, housed in a vented enclosure for optimal bass performance. The subwoofer's advanced design includes ultra-wide ports that drastically reduce low-frequency turbulence, ensuring smooth and controlled bass reproduction. The 1000W Class D amplification provides sufficient power for demanding applications, ensuring the RSX18F can handle large events and installations while delivering punchy, deep bass. The integrated DSP with DynO dynamic optimization ensures pristine impulse response and high-fidelity sound at all output levels, maintaining tonal accuracy even under high output conditions. Whether used in concert halls, clubs, or corporate venues, the RSX18F ensures reliable, consistent low-frequency reproduction.

For system optimization and monitoring, the RSX18F is fully compatible with EAWmosaic. This intuitive iOS application enables real-time system control, optimization, and monitoring from anywhere in the venue, making it easy for technicians to adjust settings on the fly. The app also provides room design and prediction tools, offering complete system simulation for accurate sound coverage and performance prediction. The RSX18F's integration with EAW's Focusing DSP technology ensures the subwoofer delivers exceptional performance across its operating range from 27 Hz to 125 Hz, with a calculated peak SPL of 135 dB (half space), providing ample headroom for even the most demanding events.

The RSX18F is also equipped with full Dante networking capabilities, offering seamless digital audio connectivity across the network. This allows for easy signal routing, with analog redundancy ensuring a reliable backup connection in case of failure. The subwoofer features dual Neutrikx etherCON RJ-45 connections for Ethernet/Dante protocols, enabling networked audio distribution and remote control via Dante-enabled systems. Additionally, the unit supports a balanced XLR input for analog operation, with separate loop-thru XLRM for analog signal routing. The subwoofer's power input is handled via a Neutrik PowerConx connector, supporting 100V to 240V AC power, making it adaptable for use in a wide range of regions and venues.

Designed for ease of use, the RSX18F features an LCD screen on the amplifier panel for easy interface and control, as well as a user-definable logo LED to provide visual feedback during operation. The push-button rotary encoder allows for intuitive control over settings and adjustments. With a net weight of 106 lbs and compact dimensions of 20.52 x 32.42 x 27.23 inches, the RSX18F is robust yet easy to handle and transport, providing professional-grade sound in a manageable package.
