The Tannoy VSX218B is a robust 8,000-Watt passive twin 18-inch bass reflex subwoofer, designed for high-performance sound reinforcement in both portable and fixed installation applications. With its dual 18-inch drivers, the VSX218B is perfectly suited for environments that demand powerful, low-frequency reproduction, including clubs, bars, theatres, and AV installations. This subwoofer delivers a deep, chest-thumping bass response, extending down to 30 Hz, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring full-range low-end frequencies.

Equipped with a dual ported bass reflex system, the VSX218B efficiently amplifies low frequencies while minimizing distortion, ensuring tight, accurate bass output even at high volumes. The system's low distortion design enables it to produce massive quantities of clean, powerful bass, which is essential for both music playback and speech reinforcement. The subwoofer's ability to handle rapid transients makes it an exceptional choice for both dynamic music and speech applications.

The VSX218B's dual 18-inch low-frequency drivers provide unmatched low-end extension, with a frequency response down to 30 Hz and a maximum SPL of 142 dB peak. This subwoofer's performance is enhanced by its highly efficient design, allowing it to deliver maximum sound pressure levels across a wide frequency range. Whether used in live sound reinforcement or in permanent installations, the VSX218B ensures deep, powerful bass that cuts through the mix and enhances the overall sound experience.

The subwoofer is constructed from high-quality, internally braced plywood to provide durability while reducing unwanted resonance. The rugged powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille protects the internal components, ensuring longevity even in demanding environments. The enclosure is finished in a semi-matt black paint for a sleek and professional appearance that blends seamlessly into any installation.

For easy deployment, the VSX218B includes integral M10 rigging points, allowing for flexible rigging options in both portable and fixed installations. Additionally, the subwoofer is equipped with ergonomically integrated handles on the sides of the cabinet, making it easy to transport and set up for touring and portable applications. The rear panel features Neutrik speakON NL4 and barrier strip connectors for input and link output, providing compatibility with a variety of sound systems and configurations.
