About the Turbosound NUQ118B-AN-WH-UL 3000 Watt 18" Band Pass Subwoofer with Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET Networking (White)
The Turbosound NUQ118B-AN-WH-UL is a professional-grade powered subwoofer engineered for high-output, low-frequency extension in demanding fixed installations and touring systems, presented in a specialized white finish for aesthetic integration. This unit employs an efficient band-pass enclosure design, which utilizes both a sealed rear chamber and a tuned front chamber to maximize acoustic output and control within a specific, potent frequency band. It is powered by a substantial 3000-watt peak Class-D amplifier that is digitally optimized to drive the robust 18-inch transducer, providing immense headroom and dynamic impact for music and sound reinforcement applications. This design yields a pronounced and articulate bass response characterized by high acoustic efficiency and powerful output in its target range.
Integrated Klark Teknik DSP forms the intelligent core of the subwoofer, offering comprehensive signal shaping and system protection tools directly within the cabinet. This includes precision crossover filters, multi-band parametric equalization, advanced limiting, and alignment delay, all remotely configurable via network software. The inclusion of the ULTRANET networking protocol is a key feature, enabling the subwoofer to become a node on a fully digital audio network. This allows it to receive pristine digital audio, system control commands, and remote monitoring data over a single Cat5e/6 cable from a compatible mixer, drastically reducing system complexity and cable weight while ensuring perfect signal integrity across large installations.
The enclosure is constructed from durable, multi-ply birch and finished in a resilient white textured coating, designed to withstand the rigors of touring while maintaining a visually subdued presence in permanent venues. It features integrated handles and multiple M10 rigging points for versatile deployment, including ground-stacking, flying in arrays, or integration with full-range NUQ loudspeaker systems. The combination of high-power amplification, advanced band-pass acoustics, sophisticated networked DSP, and a rugged yet visually adaptable build makes the NUQ118B-AN-WH-UL a formidable foundation for any professional audio system requiring deep, powerful, and intelligently managed low-frequency energy.
