A broad range of capabilities and sizes provide the designer with selections that can be specifically matched to their application. Top-quality drivers, engineered by EAW, provide the highest output and best sonic performance possible for a given form factor. All SB models are direct radiating, with optimally tuned, vented enclosures. SB subwoofers are the choice where the best sonic performance, highest reliability, and most robust physical construction are required.

The SB528zR is a high output, large-format subwoofer system. This versatile, all-purpose subwoofer is designed for portable use where the fatter-sounding output of dual 18-inch drivers is desired. The SB528zR works well with most full-range loudspeakers in a variety of applications including: band/club PA, large houses of worship, large auditoriums/theaters, arenas, concert touring, f/x reinforcement, large dance clubs, and drumfill monitoring.

About the EAW SB528zR-BK Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer

The EAW SB528zR-BK is a high-output, dual 18-inch passive subwoofer engineered for large-scale sound reinforcement where maximum low-frequency impact and control are required. It is designed as a specialized component for touring systems and major fixed installations, capable of delivering extreme sound pressure levels with deep extension and precise transient response. The subwoofer incorporates advanced driver technology within a carefully tuned, ported enclosure, optimized for high efficiency and powerful bass output that forms the foundational layer for concerts, festivals, and high-energy events. The black (BK) finish and robust construction are tailored for both visual discretion and the physical demands of professional touring.

The enclosure is constructed from high-grade, extensively braced plywood, ensuring minimal cabinet resonance and long-term durability. It features integrated heavy-duty rigging points and handles, allowing for versatile deployment options including ground-stacking, flying, or arraying with other subwoofers. As a passive design, the SB528zR-BK requires external high-power amplification and system processing, giving sound engineers complete control over crossover points, equalization, and limiting to perfectly integrate the subwoofer with the main loudspeaker system and protect its components. This combination of brute-force output capability and flexible system integration makes it a top-tier choice for audio professionals who demand uncompromising low-frequency performance.
