Turbosound NuQ118B - 2400W 18-inch Passive Band Pass Subwoofer in Black Finish

The Turbosound NuQ118B is a high-performance 18" passive band pass subwoofer designed to deliver exceptional low-frequency response for live sound reinforcement and portable PA applications. With a peak power handling of 2,400 watts, this subwoofer is engineered for demanding applications where high output and deep bass extension are required. Featuring a dual ported bandpass enclosure, the NuQ118B is tuned to produce extended low-frequency output, ensuring that it can handle a broad range of music genres and provide substantial bass support in any live sound setup.

The subwoofer is equipped with a powerful 18" low-frequency driver, which uses a double suspension and an inside/outside wound voice coil for enhanced magnetic density. This design improves heat dissipation, increases power handling capacity, and optimizes efficiency. As a result, the NuQ118B delivers distortion-free performance even at high output levels, making it suitable for large venues and demanding environments. Its low distortion design and dual port configuration help achieve maximum sound pressure levels, ensuring that the bass is both powerful and clean, even under intense use.

The NuQ118B is built to withstand the rigors of both touring and fixed installations. Its durable construction uses 18mm birch plywood and is finished with a semi-matt black paint for added resilience. The subwoofer includes multiple M10 rigging points, allowing for easy suspension and installation in various configurations. It also features a 35mm pole mount for satellite speaker integration and handles for convenient transport. The rear panel of the subwoofer is equipped with Neutrik speakON NL4 connectors, which provide reliable long-term performance, with switchable input and link connections to accommodate both standalone and satellite speaker applications.

With a frequency response of 40 Hz to 150 Hz +3 dB and a maximum SPL of 134 dB peak, the NuQ118B offers powerful, deep bass that enhances the overall audio experience. Its sensitivity of 100 dB ensures that it can produce loud, impactful sound while maintaining clarity and precision. The subwoofer's robust design and impressive output make it an ideal choice for applications such as FOH sound reinforcement, subwoofer and satellite configurations, and mobile PA systems.
