General Product Description

The Rx-218S is a dedicated subwoofer loudspeaker system that incorporates two 18 DL-type woofers for maximum LF power with minimum box volume. This vented, 800-watt system easily provides 128 dB SPL 1 W/1 m (134 dB peaks 1 W/1 m) at full power in a rectangular enclosure that is stable and readily stacks for extra energy. The Rx-118S cabinet has recessed safety handles for ease of transport and includes a M 20 thread for a pole mount for use with full-range cabinets without the need for extra mounting stands. The rear of the cabinet includes four M

12 threaded T-nuts for affixing the Rx-wheel-bar kit. The Rx-

218 S is prepared for the optional Rx-Rigging kit to be flown in clusters with Rx-212/75 or other EV speaker systems. The

M-218 S processing module for modular P-series amplifiers provides optimized processing for fullrange use, or in combination with any of Rx-series subwoofers.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications

Rx 218S

The dedicated subwoofer loudspeaker system shall incorporate two 18-inch transducers with a cast aluminum basket in a vented enclosure tuned for optimum low frequency extension. The input panel shall have two paralleled NL4 connectors.

Usable system frequency response shall be 40 Hz to 2000 Hz measured on axis.

The loudspeaker shall be capable of producing a sound pressure level (SPL) of 98 dB on axis (full space) at 1 meter with a power input of one watt. It shall be capable of sustaining a full power, long term average output of 128 dB on axis at 1 meter with instantaneous peaks of 134 dB. The subwoofer shall handle 800 watts of amplified power long-term in compliance with AES-EIA standards and have a nominal impedance of 4 ohms.

The loudspeaker enclosure shall be constructed of 13-ply void-free cross-grainlaminated birch plywood. It shall be finished in black textured paint. It shall be of a rectangular shape with flat sides for stacking. Handles shall be recessed within the enclosure and of such design to allow safe handling from any direction. There shall be a M-20 thread for a pole mount socket located in the top handle of the cabinet.

For flying applications a rigging kit should be easily fixable to the cabinet.

The subwoofer loudspeaker system shall be the Electro-Voice ® model Rx-218S.
