Features
- The high power handling VS18 DR consists of a high efficiency, rated at 102dB (1W = 2.83V for 8 Ohms), 458mm (18.00”) drive unit with a 100mm (4.00”) voice coil. This is mounted in an immensely strong cabinet, available in either black or white, which is constructed from 18mm (0.71”) multi-ply birch hardwood. This heavy-duty construction ensures it is designed to survive the punishment that speaker systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations.
- The VS18 DR comes complete with four recessed carrying handles for ease of transportation, 10mm flying points to provide a quick and secure flying system and a blanking plate for optional VTH pole mount. Tripods can therefore be eliminated by connecting V Series subwoofers and V Series Dual Concentric™ loudspeakers by ordering the Tannoy VTH top hat mounting hardware.
- The versatility and impressive performance of this subwoofer make it ideal for applications such as live sound reinforcement, nightclub sub bass, theatre front of house and effects, movie theatres and cinemas, side fill in large scale music reinforcement, theme parks and leisure venues, sports and multi-use stadiums, audio visual, high quality public address and houses of worship.
