About the Electro-Voice Xsub Dual 18" Subwoofer Loudspeaker System
The Electro-Voice Xsub is a powerful and road-ready dual 18-inch subwoofer system designed to deliver deep, impactful low-frequency extension for mobile DJ applications, live sound reinforcement, and installed systems where high output and portability are both critical. Its design centers on a highly efficient, internally coupled band-pass enclosure that houses two long-excursion 18-inch drivers, working in tandem to produce a substantial and focused low-end output. This configuration is engineered for maximum acoustic efficiency, translating amplifier power into high sound pressure levels with exceptional clarity and punch in the vital sub-bass frequency range, making it particularly effective for music genres that rely on powerful, articulated bass. The cabinet is constructed from rugged, tour-grade plywood and coated with a durable, textured finish to withstand the physical demands of frequent transportation and use.
One of the standout features of the Xsub is its integrated, heavy-duty wheelboard and ergonomic recessed handles, which transform the substantial cabinet into a highly mobile unit that can be easily tilted and rolled by a single operator. This practical design significantly reduces the physical strain of moving a large, powerful subwoofer, addressing a key logistical challenge for mobile entertainers and small touring crews. The system offers flexible connectivity and wiring options, typically featuring dual NL4 Speakon connectors wired in parallel to accommodate various amplifier configurations, from running a single cabinet per channel to powering multiple units from a single amplifier output.
The Electro-Voice Xsub is engineered to provide a reliable and thunderous low-frequency foundation. It requires compatible external amplification and processing, allowing users to tailor the system to their specific needs and existing equipment. With its blend of formidable output, robust construction, and user-focused mobility, the Xsub serves as a cornerstone low-frequency solution for professionals who need a subwoofer that delivers consistent, venue-filling bass night after night while simplifying the practical realities of load-in and setup.
