About the JBL ASB4128 Medium Power Dual 18-inch Subwoofer
The JBL ASB4128 is a medium-power, high-output subwoofer system engineered to deliver powerful and articulate low-frequency reproduction for professional sound reinforcement applications. This model is distinguished by its configuration of two 18-inch, long-excursion drivers housed in a single, optimally tuned bass-reflex enclosure. This dual-driver design allows for significant acoustic output and exceptional power handling while maintaining a relatively compact footprint compared to using two separate single-driver cabinets. It is ideally suited for reinforcing the low-end in medium to large-scale fixed installations, live sound venues, and demanding portable applications where deep, impactful bass is essential, but space and setup time are practical considerations.
The subwoofer's performance is driven by its carefully matched 18-inch transducers, which feature large-diameter voice coils and advanced motor structures for efficient heat dissipation and high power compression resistance. The vented cabinet design is precisely tuned to extend the system's low-frequency response and maximize output efficiency, providing a powerful foundation that can be felt as much as heard. With its substantial power handling and sensitivity, the ASB4128 is capable of generating high sound pressure levels with low distortion, ensuring that the bass remains tight and defined even at high volumes, which is critical for musical integrity in live music and playback systems.
Built for the rigors of professional use, the enclosure is constructed from high-grade, multi-ply birch plywood and finished with a durable, textured coating. It includes integrated, heavy-duty steel handles and robust rigging points that facilitate safe and efficient transportation and deployment, whether for permanent installation, ground-stacking, or flying in array configurations. The combination of dual 18-inch drivers, a performance-optimized enclosure, and professional-grade hardware makes the JBL ASB4128 a potent and reliable low-frequency engine, offering system designers and audio engineers a formidable tool for delivering commanding sub-bass performance in a wide array of professional audio scenarios.
