Description
Add punchy low end to your portable or permanently installed PA system with the Turbosound MILAN M18B, a portable 18" powered subwoofer featuring two independent input channels (line), a polarity reversal switch, variable +6 dB bass boost (40 to 90 Hz), intelligent limiting, and XLR pass-thru outputs, which echo the input signals for connection to full-range top speakers or additional subwoofers.The 2200W Class-D amplifier drives an 18" high-excursion woofer to deliver a frequency response of 40 to 100 Hz ( 3 dB) and a maximum SPL of 134 dB, plenty of volume to cover 300 patrons. The M18B s discrete inputs are each equipped with balanced combo XLR-1/4" connectors and a level control, making them ideally suited for a wide range of music sources, from low-impedance microphones, acoustic guitars, and keyboards to MP3 players and mixing consoles.At a Glance Bandpass powered subwoofer for portable PA and installation applications2200W power featuring Klark Teknik Class-D technologyHigh-excursion 18" low-frequency driver with 4" voice coil and double suspensionBass boost and polarity switch for accurate low-frequency system integrationBirch plywood enclosure with hard wearing semi-matte-black paint finishRugged powder coated perforated steel mesh grille1.4" pole mount to support satellite speakerPlated steel casters with rubber tiresBandpass Enclosure Design Bandpass enclosures are extremely efficient, creating maximum bass output within a specific frequency range by increasing the acoustic load presented to the driver. The low distortion bandpass design utilized in the M18B reinforces the bass musical instrument frequencies, and steep cut-off slopes ensure an effective acoustic transition for use with MILAN Series full-range loudspeakers. A typical application could consist of an M18B providing the low-frequency bass extension for one or two MILAN Series top cabinets.Class-D Amplifier Thanks to revolutionary Class-D amplifier technology, the M18B is able to provide enormous power and incredible sonic performance in an easy-to-use, ultraportable and lightweight package. Class-D amplification offers the ultimate in energy efficiency and eliminates the need for heavy power supplies and massive heat sinks. The lightweight switched-mode power supply, coupled with the industry-leading Klark Teknik Digital Signal Processing (DSP) module, provides dynamic equalization and sophisticated limiting functions, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.Custom-Engineered Drivers The MILAN M18B loudspeaker features a high-excursion 18" LF driver that's designed to perform flawlessly in conjunction with every other element for truly professional results. The MILAN M18B outputs massive quantities of tight and articulate bass and works seamlessly with all MILAN Series loudspeakers.Integrated Control Center The onboard control panel features a subwoofer level control, a polarity switch for proper phasing with your loudspeakers, and a switchable +6 boost filter (40 to 90 Hz), which ensures correct integration with your system. Convenient XLR Thru connectors send both input signals to your powered full-range loudspeakers or additional powered subwoofers.Built for Durability and Versatility The M18B's enclosure consists of solid birch plywood with a hard-wearing semi-matte-black paint finish, and is ribbed internally to eliminate resonances and to minimize vibration. Plated steel castors with rubber wheels are provided for easy transport, and the standard pole-mount socket allows powered loudspeakers to be mounted either vertically, or raised higher and angled down to optimize audience coverage.
