About the Turbosound TBV118L-AN-UL 18" Powered Subwoofer with Klark Teknik DSP Technology and ULTRANET Networking
The Turbosound TBV118L-AN-UL is a powerful, self-contained active subwoofer engineered to deliver profound low-frequency extension and impact for large-scale professional sound reinforcement systems. It centers on an 18-inch long-excursion driver housed within a meticulously tuned bass reflex enclosure, powered by a substantial integrated Class-D amplifier module. This integration of driver, enclosure, and high-current amplification is optimized for maximum efficiency and output, providing the foundational energy required for live music, cinematic effects, and large-format audio installations. The inclusion of advanced Klark Teknik DSP technology transforms it from a simple transducer into an intelligent system component, offering comprehensive control over crossover filters, parametric equalization, dynamic limiting, and time alignment directly within the cabinet.
This subwoofer's operational intelligence is significantly enhanced by its ULTRANET networking capability. This feature allows the TBV118L-AN-UL to be seamlessly integrated into a fully digital audio ecosystem, receiving a pristine digital signal, control data, and remote power commands from a compatible digital mixer over a single Cat-5e cable. This networked approach eliminates analog signal degradation over long cable runs, simplifies system wiring, and enables centralized monitoring and control of multiple subwoofers from a single point. System technicians can remotely adjust parameters, mute channels, and ensure optimal performance for each zone or array, making it an ideal solution for complex fixed installations and streamlined touring setups where reliability and ease of management are paramount.
Constructed from durable, multi-ply birch plywood with a rugged textured coating, the enclosure is built to withstand the demands of both touring and permanent installation. It features robust steel handles, integrated heavy-duty rigging points, and a protective steel grille, offering versatile deployment options for ground-stacking, flying, or placement within subwoofer arrays. The combination of high-power output, deep frequency extension, networked digital control, and robust physical construction establishes the TBV118L-AN-UL as a versatile and powerful low-frequency engine capable of anchoring the most demanding audio systems with clarity, power, and operational precision.
