Looking for an impressive subwoofer to take your sound system to the next level? Look no further than the JBL VTX B18. This single 18 powerhouse is designed to complement JBLs full-range VTX systems, and features JBLs new 2288H 18 woofer for improved linearity, sensitivity and excursion. The 2288H is based on JBLs patented Differential Drive technology, so you can enjoy wider dynamic range and lower power compression than with conventional single-coil subwoofers. The VTX B18 also incorporates JBLs patented Slip Stream double-flared exponential low-frequency port design to improve airflow and reduce audible turbulence, even at maximum excursion.
With a width and suspension hardware that match the VTX A8, it can be used in arrays of up to 16 enclosures. The B18 can be deployed in omni-directional or cardioid configurations, making it perfect for a variety of sound reinforcement applications.
