About the JBL ASB7128 Ultra Long Excursion High Power Dual 18-inch Subwoofer
The JBL ASB7128 is an ultra-high-output subwoofer system engineered for the most demanding professional audio applications where maximum low-frequency impact and sound pressure levels are required. This formidable model features two 18-inch ultra-long excursion drivers housed in a single, meticulously designed bass-reflex enclosure, representing a pinnacle of sub-bass performance for large-scale sound reinforcement. It is built to serve as the low-frequency foundation for major concert touring systems, large fixed installations in stadiums and arenas, and any venue where delivering deep, powerful, and articulate bass at extreme volumes is non-negotiable. The design philosophy prioritizes not only sheer output but also thermal management and mechanical integrity to maintain performance under sustained high-power operation.
Each of the massive 18-inch drivers incorporates a large-diameter 4-inch voice coil and a sophisticated motor structure, enabling exceptional power handling and ultra-long linear excursion. This allows the system to move vast amounts of air with precision, producing seismic low frequencies that extend well below 30 Hz with authority and low distortion. The cabinet's vented design is acoustically optimized to maximize efficiency and extend frequency response, ensuring the output is both impactful and musically accurate. With its extraordinary power rating and sensitivity, the ASB7128 is capable of generating immense peak sound pressure levels, providing the physical sensation of bass that is essential for contemporary live music and large-scale event production.
Constructed for the rigors of touring and permanent installation, the enclosure is built from rugged, multi-ply birch plywood with extensive internal bracing to eliminate unwanted resonances. It is finished with a durable, textured coating and includes integrated, heavy-duty steel handles and comprehensive rigging hardware designed for safe flying, ground-stacking, or forming large subwoofer arrays. The combination of dual ultra-long excursion transducers, a high-power optimized enclosure, and professional-grade hardware makes the JBL ASB7128 a reference-grade subwoofer system, offering audio professionals an uncompromising tool for delivering unparalleled sub-bass energy and clarity in the world's largest and most challenging acoustic environments.
