18' FOLDED HORN
SUBWOOFER
The LX-18 takes traditional folded horn subwoofers to the next level.
The cabinet is built to withstand the abuse of the road and is backed by
a LIFETIME construction warranty. A newly designed internal compression
chamber provides intense, clean and controlled bass. At the heart of the
LX-18 is the new B-52 18-200L subwoofer with a cast-aluminum frame, a
massive 200oz magnet and an innovative 4" dual-layer tempered aluminum
voice coil.
An aluminum front
panel heat sink dissipates heat in the subwoofer compression chamber.
This provides greater power handling, more overall output and cooler
long-term operation.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LX-18 is finished in a rugged,
impact-resistant black carpet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Void-free, 7-layer, 3/4" plywood
construction for maximum durability and minimum weight.

Input connections:
(2) 1/4" metal phone jacks; (1) Neutrik NL 4 Speakon Connector.

Reinforced internal bracings are used to fortify the LX-18.
INTERNAL
COMPRESSION CHAMBER
The B-52 18" subwoofer's acoustic load is controlled by a specially
designed horn and compression chamber that minimizes the excursion of
the driver while maximizing the system's output. The optimally-sized
acoustic aperture of the compression chamber forms the throat of the
horn and helps to force air through the horn at an increased velocity
and pressure. The compression chamber optimizes the horn's output and
the acoustic impedance seen by the B-52 18-200L transducer. It is this
acoustic impedance transforming "phase-plug" design that enables the
LX-Series subwoofers to achieve amazing and unprecedented output levels.
18" SUBWOOFER
INSIDE THE
COMPRESSION CHAMBER
The B-52 18-200L 18" subwoofer
features a cast-aluminum frame, 200 oz vented magnet structure, bumped
back-plate for greater excursion and 4" dual-layered tempered aluminum
voice coil former. The voice coil is wound with four layers of 26-gauge
copper wire, optimally sized for this motor.
As always, the
very impressive B-52 standard warranty:
Lifetime warranty on cabinet construction
Lifetime warranty on high-frequency devices
Five-year warranty on loudspeakers
Two-year warranty on amplifiers |
