AUDAC FX1.18 18-Inch Horn-Loaded High-Output Subwoofer | Professional Bass Cabinet 8Ω

Product Introduction

The AUDAC FX1.18 is a professional 18-inch horn-loaded high-output subwoofer cabinet engineered for applications requiring powerful, tight and well-defined low-frequency performance. As part of the versatile AUDAC FX Series Performance Sound Solutions, the FX1.18 delivers impressive bass reinforcement for auditoriums, event venues, clubs, bars, restaurants, educational facilities and sports facilities.

Featuring an 800W AES continuous power rating, 1600W program power and 3200W peak power, combined with a high 102 dB sensitivity and maximum SPL of 131 dB, the FX1.18 is designed to produce strong bass output with excellent attack and definition.

When combined with the AUDAC FX3.15 3-way active speaker cabinet, the FX1.18 becomes part of a powerful modular professional sound system that can be scaled according to venue size and performance requirements.

Product Description

The AUDAC FX1.18 High-Output Bass Cabinet uses a single 18-inch ferrite woofer in a horn-loaded enclosure to achieve high acoustic efficiency and powerful low-frequency reproduction.

Its frequency response of 37 Hz – 130 Hz (±3 dB) provides the deep and controlled bass reinforcement required for music playback, live performances and high-output professional sound systems. The horn-loaded design provides excellent efficiency, allowing the FX1.18 to achieve a maximum sound pressure level of 131 dB at 1 metre.

The enclosure is manufactured from high-quality 18 mm solid plywood and finished with AUDAC's durable DuraCoat™ scratch-resistant textured coating, making it suitable for demanding fixed installations as well as event and professional applications.

For easier transportation and installation, the cabinet features eight integrated carry handles. An integrated metal rigging frame enables secure rigging and allows multiple compatible cabinets to be combined into larger sound systems.

Two 4-pin Speakon-compatible connectors provide convenient speaker connectivity and link-through functionality when multiple identical FX1.18 subwoofers are used.

Professional Sound Solution

Its high sensitivity and 131 dB maximum SPL make it suitable for applications requiring substantial bass output while maintaining definition.

The high-output horn-loaded design makes the FX1.18 suitable for event spaces and professional performance systems. Multiple cabinets can be integrated and rigged to create a scalable bass solution according to venue capacity and required SPL.

Clubs & Entertainment Venues

Music-focused venues require strong low-frequency impact. With an 18-inch driver, 800W AES power handling and horn-loaded enclosure, the FX1.18 delivers the punch and bass energy required for clubs and entertainment environments.

Bars & Restaurants

For larger bars, restaurants and entertainment-oriented F&B venues requiring higher-performance music reproduction, the FX1.18 can provide deeper and more powerful bass reinforcement than standard commercial background music subwoofers.

Education

The FX1.18 is suitable for university halls, school auditoriums, multipurpose halls and performing arts facilities where the sound system needs to support speech, multimedia, music and stage performances.

Sporting Facilities

For indoor sporting venues and multipurpose facilities requiring high-output music playback and event sound reinforcement, the FX1.18 provides the low-frequency extension required for a more impactful professional audio system.

Modular AUDAC FX Series Solution

Pair the AUDAC FX1.18 bass cabinet with the AUDAC FX3.15 3-way active speaker cabinet to create a complete high-output system with powerful bass, excellent clarity and detailed sound reproduction.

Depending on the venue and required output, multiple FX cabinets can be deployed to create a larger professional sound system, making the FX Series suitable for both permanent installations and demanding performance applications.
