A seriously powerful subwoofer for music and film production.
Featuring an 18" low-frequency transducer with a heavy-duty 4" voice coil in a bass reflex enclosure, the Equator Q18S subwoofer speaker has the muscle to produce bone-shattering lows, making this the ideal sub bass system for both music applications as well as sound effects work for TV and film. The Q18S enclosure is constructed from 3/4", 13-ply Baltic birch and is heavily braced for cabinet rigidity. Of equal significance, the subwoofer's baffle is constructed from 1" high-density fiberboard (HDF) compared to many competing systems that use medium-density fiberboard.Designed as a 4-ohm system, the self-powered Equator Audio Q18S is driven by 2000 watts of pulse-pounding, adrenalin-filled peak power that ensures the bass will be both heard and felt with conviction. This down-firing system features a unique bell-shaped base that enables the Q18S to perform in any size room, reproducing frequencies down to 16 Hz. As one would expect from a world-class subwoofer, Equator Audio's extremely efficient Q18S employs LF compression, thermal, short circuit, and under-voltage protection for the system's driver complement.The Equator Q18S Subwoofer features the connectivity required for today's high-tech audio production. Featuring both an RS-485 In/Thru interface and a USB connector, these ports enable Equator Audio's room compensation and control software to communicate with multiple Q Series monitors and subwoofers for the purpose of adjusting crossover points, EQ curves, and a host of additional functions.Audio connectors include balanced Neutrik Combo input connectors and XLR throughput connectors. Like all Equator Audio Q Series products, the new Q18S benefits from cutting-edge Digital Signal Processing technology that helps mix engineers ensure their room is optimized for accurate monitoring. Included with the Equator Q18S speaker is a software application that enables a mix engineer to manually compensate for acoustic anomalies in addition to issues created by speaker placement and boundary conditions within the listening environment. Along with the environmental compensation, this included software also provides extraordinary control over the monitors—including the ability to define crossover frequencies, equalization, mute, solo, and phase. Stereo, 2.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, and 8.2 monitoring configurations can be quickly and easily optimized and saved.
