P18
Housed in a curvilinear enclosure of custom birch and
poplar plywood, the P18 employs a purpose-designed 18″ LF Neodymium
driver and 4″ diaphragm HF driver in a coaxial configuration. The
compact cabinet measures just 680mm x 579mm x 446mm, and can be deployed
in vertical or horizontal (wedge monitor) configurations, with HF
directivity set to match the specific application. The back plate holds
two Speakon® connectors (plus one each on both sides) and a recessed
switch to change
the cabinet from 2-way passive to 2-way active mode. Installation
versions are available in custom RAL colours (Passive only) and feature a
fixed cloth-covered grille, universal rigging points on the sides and
bottom of the cabinet and 2-core cable for audio input to ensure IP54
protection index. TIS versions feature touring handles and connectivity,
with cloth-covered grilles.
