Tannoy VSX118B-WH - 4000W 18-inch Passive Bass Reflex Subwoofer with 8-Ohm Impedance in White Finish

The Tannoy VSX118B-WH is a high-performance 18-inch passive bass reflex subwoofer designed to deliver superior low-frequency reproduction for both fixed and portable sound reinforcement applications. This subwoofer is ideal for use in a wide range of environments including clubs, bars, theatres, and AV setups, where powerful, distortion-free bass is crucial. With a continuous power handling of 1,000 watts and a peak power capacity of 4,000 watts, the VSX118B-WH delivers deep, chest-thumping bass that extends well below 40 Hz, making it an excellent choice for any application that requires intense low-end sound reproduction.

The VSX118B-WH features an 18" low-frequency driver that provides extended low-frequency response and a fast, accurate transient response. This ensures that the subwoofer can generate tight low-end output with minimal distortion, even at high sound pressure levels. The low distortion dual port design of the VSX118B-WH maximizes sound pressure levels while maintaining clarity and detail in the bass frequencies, making it ideal for applications where the bass needs to be felt as much as it is heard.

Designed with versatility in mind, the VSX118B-WH can be deployed in various configurations to suit different setups. Whether used in permanent installations or as part of a touring rig, the subwoofer features integral M10 rigging points and a blanking plate for an optional VTH pole mount, allowing for easy installation and rigging in any environment. For portable applications, the subwoofer includes ergonomically integrated Integrip handles, located on the top of the cabinet for easy transport and handling.

The cabinet of the VSX118B-WH is built with durability in mind. Constructed from 18 mm plywood, the enclosure is internally braced to minimize resonance and improve the overall acoustic performance. The subwoofer is finished in a hard-wearing semi-matte white paint, making it suitable for a wide range of architectural environments, especially when a more neutral or aesthetic appearance is desired. The rugged powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille, backed with reticulated foam, provides excellent protection for the internal components while also contributing to the subwoofer's professional appearance.

Connectivity is made easy with the rear panel connector plate, which features two Neutrik speakON NL4 connectors and a barrier strip for input and link output. These connections allow for linking additional subwoofers or full-range loudspeakers, making the VSX118B-WH a highly flexible and scalable solution for any audio system.
