Electro-Voice EKX-18SP 18″ Professional Powered Subwoofer

Product Description

The EKX-18SP is a high-output, self-powered subwoofer engineered for touring, DJ rigs, and permanent installations. Its built-in 1 300 W Class D amplifier and high-sensitivity 18″ transducer deliver thunderous bass extension down to 35 Hz, while QuickSmartDSP and EV’s single-knob user interface provide lightning-fast EQ, limiting, and preset recall. Cardioid Control Technology lets you steer low-frequency energy toward the audience—with up to 35 dB of on-stage reduction—making multiple-sub arrays tight, focused, and feedback-free.
