The Yorkville ES18P 18" Powered Rear Horn Loaded Subwoofer is the ultimate solution for powerful, earth-shaking bass in both touring and fixed installation environments. As the successor to the iconic LS801P, the ES18P continues Yorkville's legacy of delivering superior sound, performance, and reliability. This next-generation subwoofer is engineered with an 18-inch custom-designed woofer, paired with a 4-inch voice coil, to provide deep, impactful low frequencies, with a peak power rating of 3200 watts (1600 watts program). Designed for maximum bass projection, the ES18P produces a frequency response of 43 Hz to 150 Hz with a maximum SPL of 140 dB peak (134 dB continuous), ensuring that the lowest frequencies fill the room with the force necessary for large venues and demanding events.
One of the standout features of the ES18P is its portability. Despite its high power output, the subwoofer is over 30% lighter than the ES21P, making it more car-friendly and easier to transport. This is achieved through the subwoofer's lightweight yet durable 15mm 11-ply Baltic birch enclosure, which also features rugged internal bracing to reduce resonance and increase durability. The ES18P is finished with anti-resonant metal grilles to further enhance its longevity and sound quality. Tilt-back wheels and multiple bar handles on the top, bottom, and sides provide excellent maneuverability, allowing users to quickly transport and stack the subwoofer with ease.
For advanced control, the ES18P is equipped with proprietary DSP-based limiters, ensuring optimal performance while preventing over-driving the system. Users can further refine the sound with three DSP-based voicing modes - Punchy, Smooth, and Deep - tailored to suit different audio applications. The subwoofer also includes a high-frequency roll-off control that allows the user to adjust the cutoff frequency in 10 Hz increments from 80 Hz to 150 Hz. Whether using the subwoofer for live music events, DJ setups, or theatrical productions, these modes and controls offer the flexibility to fine-tune the bass response for a variety of environments.
Adding to its convenience, the ES18P offers Bluetooth control via the free Yorkville companion app, available for iOS and Android devices. This allows users to make real-time adjustments to DSP settings and gain control over their subwoofer remotely. Additionally, the ES18P features link ports (XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs) that allow multiple units to be connected easily, enabling scalability for larger setups or events. With its superior performance and modern control features, the ES18P is the ideal subwoofer for users seeking high-output bass reinforcement that is both powerful and portable.
