The Electro-Voice ELX200-18S is an 18" passive subwoofer designed to provide low-frequency reinforcement for ELX200 Series full-range PA systems and other PA setups. It features the EVS-18L (457 mm) transducer in a 15 mm internally stiffened, polyurea-coated enclosure , delivering up to 133 dB SPL (peak) with clean, controlled punch. Professional hardware includes an M20 threaded satellite mast socket , two integrated carrying handles , and dual NL4 connectors for daisy-chaining. With a frequency response (-3 dB) of 45 Hz to 200 Hz and a range (-10 dB) of 28 Hz to 300 Hz , it delivers deep, defined bass in both portable and installed applications.
