EAW SB1001 Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer

$1,250.00 - $1,895.00

Representing a significant upgrade to the legendary SB1000, EAW introduces the new SB1001 large-format dual-18-inch-loaded subwoofer. While the dimensions of the vented enclosure and the fundamental acoustical philosophy remain true to the classic, the core components have been significantly updated to include larger 115 mm voice coils, 20% higher BI and all neodymium magnet structures. The stunning result is a lighter weight reference standard that has greater impact, power handling and output capabilities than its celebrated predecessor.

Just like the SB1000 the unique driver mounting of the SB1001 maximizes cone area and allows for the integration of an extremely low turbulence port while minimizing front area, providing the acoustical performance and physical configuration well suited for creating large subwoofer arrays.

The SB1001 is perfectly suited for a wide range of applications including concert touring, arenas, large houses of worship, large auditoriums and theaters, stage and drum fill monitoring, and large dance clubs.

About the EAW SB1001 Dual 18" Passive Subwoofer

The EAW SB1001 is a high-output, large-format passive subwoofer engineered to deliver powerful and extended low-frequency reinforcement for the most demanding professional audio applications. Featuring dual long-excursion 18-inch drivers housed in a carefully tuned, ported (bass-reflex) enclosure, it is designed to produce substantial acoustic output and deep bass response necessary for large-scale concert touring, major fixed installations, nightclubs, and live events. The subwoofer's design focuses on maximizing efficiency and power handling to provide the foundational low-end impact that is felt as much as heard, complementing high-performance full-range loudspeaker arrays. Its robust construction ensures reliability under high-power conditions, making it a cornerstone for systems that require authoritative and clean sub-bass reproduction.

Built into a roadworthy, extensively braced plywood cabinet with a durable textured finish, the SB1001 is constructed to withstand the rigors of transportation and heavy use. It features integrated heavy-duty rigging points and handles for safe and versatile deployment, whether ground-stacked, flown, or arrayed. The passive design requires external high-power amplification and system processing, allowing sound engineers to precisely tailor its response through crossover settings, equalization, and limiting to ensure optimal integration with the main loudspeaker system and protect the drivers. By delivering immense output with low distortion in a rugged package, the EAW SB1001 serves as a critical low-frequency component for professional audio systems where uncompromising bass power and reliability are paramount.
