High-Output 18-Inch Performance

The EL18S delivers 3200 watts of peak power and 1600 watts of program power through an 18-inch woofer with a 4-inch voice coil. With a frequency response extending down to 35 Hz and maximum output up to 140 dB peak, it provides the low-frequency impact needed for live music, DJs, venues, and professional sound reinforcement systems.

Flexible System Connectivity

The rear panel includes two combo XLR/1/4-inch TRS inputs, two XLR high-pass outputs, and two XLR full-range link outputs. This allows the EL18S to integrate easily into full-range PA systems while providing filtered outputs for compatible top cabinets.

Rugged Birch Plywood Enclosure

The cabinet is constructed from 15 mm birch plywood and finished with textured paint for durability. A powder-coated steel grille protects the woofer, while multiple integrated handles and casters help simplify transportation and setup.

Flexible Placement Options

Top and side pole-mount adapters allow the EL18S to support different system layouts, including traditional vertical configurations and alternative placement options. Two rigid casters and two swivel casters provide easier movement in touring and event environments.
