Overview

Eminence FSW4018-8 18" Professional Tour Grade Subwoofer Driver

Capable of over 28 mm of peak-to-peak excursion, the Eminence FSW4018-8 18" professional subwoofer is designed to move a lot of air for powerful low frequency output. The FEA optimized ceramic motor assembly includes extensive venting to enable the 4" diameter inside/outside wound voice coil to handle up to 1,600 watts RMS with minimal power compression and low distortion. Supporting the motor is a rigid cast aluminum frame which provides solid mounting points to withstand the beating that can be expected in the professional sound environment. To improve efficiency the FSW4018-8 uses Eminence's rigid but lightweight X5 paper pulp cone. The result is an extremely long throw, rugged, and exceptionally high power handling driver with top notch performance that is designed to handle everything you can throw at it.

Eminence was founded during the days when American Muscle ruled the road. There was no replacement for displacement, and for those of us in the professional audio industry, that statement still holds true. Professional audio is experiencing staggering growth. In anticipation of that growth, Eminence charged thier engineering team to design the best professional audio loudspeakers in the world. We insisted that they beat the performance and durability of every competitor.

The Eminence family of TOUR GRADE loudspeakers, designed and assembled in the USA, represents maximum power handling, maximum displacement, maximum SPL, and unequaled reliability. Advanced measurement systems and FEA optimization tools were implemented on this next generation of subwoofers.
