About the EAW SB1002-WT Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer (White)
The EAW SB1002-WT is a high-performance, dual 18-inch passive subwoofer engineered to deliver profound low-frequency extension and high output for demanding professional audio applications. Housed in a durable white laminated plywood enclosure, this subwoofer is designed to integrate seamlessly into fixed installations where both sonic performance and aesthetic considerations are important, such as in houses of worship, performing arts centers, nightclubs, and large-scale sound reinforcement systems. It utilizes two long-excursion 18-inch drivers, strategically loaded in a bass-reflex (ported) cabinet design to maximize efficiency and output in the sub-bass frequency range. This configuration allows the system to reproduce the deepest musical notes and sound effects with authority and clarity, providing the physical impact and foundational low end essential for modern music and cinematic audio.
The cabinet is constructed with professional-grade materials, featuring internal bracing to minimize unwanted resonance and a textured white finish that is both visually subtle and durable for permanent installation. The port design is optimized to tune the cabinet for extended low-frequency response while managing airflow to reduce port noise even at high output levels. The subwoofer operates in a passive configuration, requiring an external amplifier and system processing for operation. This allows system designers to select amplification and apply precise digital signal processing (DSP)—such as crossover filters, phase alignment, and limiting—tailored to the specific venue and the main loudspeaker system, ensuring optimal integration and system protection.
Designed for versatility in deployment, the SB1002-WT includes multiple heavy-duty Neodymium magnet drivers for a favorable power-to-weight ratio and integrated rigging points using the industry-standard EAW Pilot™ flyware system. This enables safe and flexible suspension in arrays or straightforward ground-stacking. With its combination of robust output, extended low-frequency capability, and installation-friendly white finish, the EAW SB1002-WT provides a powerful and reliable low-frequency solution for engineers who require a subwoofer that can deliver consistent, high-impact bass as part of a meticulously tuned large-format sound system.
