TSW-218 horn-loaded subwoofer
The TSW-218 is a horn-loaded double 18” subwoofer incorporating Turbosound’s patented loading
principles, designed for use in applications requiring accurate and powerful reproduction of low
frequency energy at very high levels. Its ability to reproduce program material with such integrity makes
the TSW-218 applicable for both fixed or mobile systems which require energetic low frequency response
without stress or equalisation.
It is primarily intended for large-scale concert touring and festival applications, although it is also
ideally suited to large nightclubs that demand no-compromise audio quality. The TSW-218
incorporates the TurboBass™ device, a patented design which employs a high-velocity partial
horn-loading technique, giving precise cone control at high power levels. It addresses an
increasing demand for accurate, high definition bass reproduction. The TSW-218 is capable of
outstanding electrical to acoustic power conversion (104dB at 1w/1m from a single unit).
Optimisation of the curved-profile laminated horn flare produces a dramatic increase in
sensitivity when multiple units are coupled, with eight cabinets giving 110dB (1w @ 1m) output
with flat frequency response down to 32Hz. For concert touring use the cabinet is fitted with
heavy duty T6 wheels to aid in handling and transportation.
