Active 18" subwoofer

The EV ETX-18SP is an active 18" subwoofer with integrated DSP, limiter, and FIR filtering which is characterised by its organic and powerful sound and feels just as at home in a gig and touring context as in a permanent installation. The subwoofers of the ETX series are available in 15" and 18" sizes, and three matching 10", 12", and 15" top units are available as well. The Electro-Voice flagship series is recommended for professional musicians and bands, DJs, and organisers for all kinds of live entertainment and offers versatile technical innovations, such as the "QuickSmart DSP". These speakers are ready to take on any challenge.

Legendary sounds meets innovative technology

No compromises in sound and performance: The EV ETX-18SP has a powerful 1800-watt, particularly effective Class D power amplifier that keeps cool even in the hottest environments. For maximum punch, a DVX 18" bass speaker operates inside the 18mm thick, 13-ply, tour-ready birch plywood chassis. The maximum sound pressure level is a whopping 135dB. The frequency range is 28-180Hz with a flexible low-pass frequency at 80Hz, 100Hz, 120Hz, or 150Hz. For the crossovers, Electro-Voice uses FIR filter technology, as found in the company's large concert speaker systems. The proprietary FIR drive design optimises the transducer's linearity for a precise, balanced sound output.

Intelligent workflow

Flexibility and workflow are very important to the ETX series: The integrated QuickSmart Pro DSP scores with intuitive menu navigation via encoder and LCD, input level control, and master volume control as well as special dispersion control technology for the subwoofers for real cardioid performance across the entire operating range. The ETX-18SP features insert and threaded combo pole cups. Two lockable XLR/jack combo sockets are available on the input side. In addition, there are two XLR link outputs for controlling speakers such as the Electro-Voice ETX-15P. The DSP offers EQ and delay adjustments as well as different presets for all possible scenarios and locations. Last but not least, the ETX-18SP comes with a convenient setup wizard that helps with setting up different top unit/subwoofer combinations.

About Electro-Voice

Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 and has been dedicated to building sound reinforcement systems and microphones since the 1930s. The firm, originally based in Indiana, USA, is considered one of the industry pioneers and has developed many new technologies still in use today. For example, their hum-cancelling coil was not only a milestone for microphone construction, but also was at the origin of the humbucker pickups still used in many guitars. In the long history of the company, Electro-Voice has constantly expanded its offer and today sells a wide range of products for sound reinforcement tasks from entry to professional levels.

Solid subwoofers for the discerning user

Musicians, bands, event service providers, and rental companies looking for a professional subwoofer with powerful sound, DSP, and modern speaker management will find what they are looking for in the ETX-15SP and ETX-18SP. Thanks to their solid, concert-grade construction, they feel at home on every stage and in every setup and provide the necessary low end at concerts and parties. With the ETX-10P, ETX-12P, and ETX-15P, Electro-Voice also offers the suitable top units. Designed for everyday touring and band life, the ETX speaker family brings a high level of performance and fidelity to the stage. But that doesn't just apply to the big stage, because of course you can't go wrong if you are an acoustic duo, a DJ, or a solo entertainer with high demands in terms of sound and comfort if you rely on these ETX performance woofers.

All you need are two of EV ETX-18SP and two of EV ETX-35P to build the great PA

Anonymous 11.07.2016

I bought two of EV ETX-18SP and two of EV ETX-35P to build the great PA.
The subwoofers have a lot of pressure and it's very easy to use them and adjust.
There are four steerable 100mm wheels on the bottom and you can drive it easy to the stage.
Two of the wheels have a locking device, so that you can stop sub where it should stand.

The front led can be configured on / off or limit display.
It is noticeable that the peak limiter flashes relatively early ( about 120 dB already ) - but this is certainly intent.
And it's really mastered the whole range. 135 dB SPL peak is here definitely not advertising promises,
but real and measured. These are real subs IMHO 50 stars for the pair and highly recommended!
