Electro-Voice ETX-18SP 18 Inch Powered Subwoofer Electro-Voice

The ETX family builds upon the industry-leading innovation and 85-year heritage of Electro-Voice audio engineering to offer the most advanced professional portable powered loudspeakers available today. A versatile high-end choice for live entertainment venues, rental companies, pro musicians and DJs, and installed sound, the ETX family features three two-way models (10 inch, 12 inch and 15 inch, all with a precision HF titanium compression driver), a three-way model (15 inch with a 6.5 inch MF driver and a precision HF titanium compression driver) and two subs (15 inch and 18 inch drivers).

Inside each low-profile, tour-grade wood enclosure are a range of unique new features that set ETX apart, combining intelligent technology and innovative industrial design for spectacular results across all applications. EV engineered high-efficiency transducers and high-powered Class-D amplifiers, Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design and smart FIR Drive DSP all work together to provide peerless EV sound quality and precise coverage at the highest SPLs.

Features:

• 18 inch DVX woofer for extended low-frequency response
• 1800 W Class-D power amplifier with integrated FIR Drive DSP
• 135 dB peak SPL
• Special DSP preset for true cardioid performance across the full operating bandwidth
• Combo pole cup (insert and threaded) for use with the ETX two-way models
• Removable casters

EV’s FIR-Drive utilizes the latest Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter technology to optimize transducer linearity. Advanced limiter algorithms for independent peak and thermal transducer protection.

Complete full-function DSP control via a single-knob interface. LCD screen for easy system set-up and monitoring: location/application EQ presets, limiter status, input level controls/meters and master volume control to ensure optimal gain structure. Subs feature a preset for true cardioid performance.

State-of-the-art components deliver the legendary EV sound quality and reliability the pros trust: 1800 W (subs) and 2000 W (full-range) Class-D power amplifiers with integrated DSP produce high SPLs utilizing high-sensitivity, low-distortion transducers (including DVX and SMX series woofers and 1.25-inch HF titanium compression drivers).

Lightweight, durable and compact 18-mm, 13-ply birch plywood enclosures finished with EVCoat. Eight mounting points for permanent installations (two-way models). Custom die-cast aluminum pole cups, handles and hardware.

EV-patented Signal Synchronized Transducers (SST) waveguide design provides precise and consistent coverage across all system configurations. Waveguides are custom-designed and optimized per ETX model.
