Yorkville ES18P 18" Powered Subwoofer


Description
The Yorkville ES18P 1,600W Elite powered subwoofer redefines low-end performance with its combination of cutting-edge technology and rugged design. A modern evolution of the acclaimed LS801P, this subwoofer features a custom-engineered 18" woofer with a 4" voice coil, delivering 3,200W of peak power and a frequency response extending down to 43Hz. Its rear horn-loaded enclosure enhances bass projection while maintaining clarity, and proprietary DSP-based limiters ensure distortion-free performance even at high SPLs. Designed for both portability and durability, the ES18P is over 30% lighter than its 21" counterpart, making it a powerful yet manageable addition to any live sound setup.
Custom 18" Driver for Deep Bass Response
At the core of the ES18P is a custom-engineered 18" woofer with a 4" voice coil, specifically designed for extended low-frequency performance. This high-output driver delivers deep, punchy bass with minimal distortion, reaching a maximum SPL of 140dB. The rear horn-loaded design enhances low-end projection, ensuring the subwoofer fills large spaces with impactful sound while maintaining clarity and definition. Whether used for touring or fixed installations, this precision-engineered driver provides the power and depth necessary to anchor any professional sound system.
Advanced DSP Features for Tailored Sound
The ES18P offers a suite of DSP-based controls for precise tuning and system optimization. Three voicing modes—Punchy, Smooth and Deep—let you adapt the subwoofer's response to specific applications, while a high-frequency rolloff control adjusts the crossover point in 10Hz increments from 80Hz–150Hz. Proprietary limiters protect the system from clipping, over-excursion and thermal damage, ensuring consistent performance during demanding gigs. Bluetooth connectivity and a companion app for iOS and Android provide remote access to settings, making adjustments seamless in real time. These advanced features ensure the ES18P delivers tailored, distortion-free bass performance for any professional application.
A Powered Subwoofer With Enhanced Portability
Built from 5/8" 11-ply Baltic birch with rugged internal bracing, the ES18P offers exceptional durability while reducing unwanted resonance. Its black Ultrathane finish and perforated metal grille provide additional protection for life on the road. Despite its robust construction, the enclosure is designed for portability—tilt-back wheels and six ergonomic bar handles make transport and setup straightforward. This thoughtful design guarantees long-lasting reliability and ease of use for gigging professionals.

You would need 3 QSC KW181 subwoofers to equal the punch of the Yorkville ES18P. Best SPL for the buck I know of.
