Equator Q18 - 18-in Powered Subwoofer
Equator Audio Research, recognized globally as a
leading manufacturer of highly accurate studio reference monitors for
mission critical recording applications, is pleased to announce the
companys new Q18S subwoofer is now shipping. Designed with the same
level of painstaking attention to detail as the entire Equator product
line, the new Q18S sub bass system is the ideal complement to Equator
Audios Q Series studio reference monitors and is a must have studio
component for those facilities recording sound for picture, where low
frequency effects (LFE) are so critical to a project.
Measuring 29 x 25 x 25 inches and featuring an 18-inch low frequency
transducer with a heavy duty 4-inch voice coil in a bass reflex
enclosure, the Equator Audio Q18S has the muscle to produce bone
shattering lows—making this the ideal sub bass system for both music
applications as well as sound effects work for TV and film. Sporting a
black/micro-metallic gray finish, the Q18S enclosure is constructed
from three-quarter inch, 13-ply Baltic Birch and is heavily braced for
cabinet rigidity. Of equal significance, the subwoofers baffle is
constructed from 1-inch high density fiberboard (HDF) compared to many
competing systems that use medium density fiberboard.
Designed as a 4-ohm system, the self-powered Equator Audio Q18S is
driven by 2000 watts of pulse pounding, adrenalin filled peak power
that ensures the bass will be both heard and felt with conviction. This
down firing system features a unique bell-shaped base that enables the
Q18S to couple with any size room, enabling it to reproduce frequencies
down to 16 Hz. As one would expect from a world-class subwoofer,
Equator Audios extremely efficient Q18S employs LF compression,
thermal, short circuit, and under voltage protection for the systems
driver complement.
The Equator Audio Q18S
features the connectivity required for today��s high-tech audio
production. Featuring both an RS-485 In/Thru interface and a USB
connector, these ports enable Equator Audio��s room compensation and
control software to communicate with multiple Q Series monitors and
subwoofers for the purpose of adjusting crossover points, EQ curves,
and a host of additional functions.
Audio connectors
include balanced Neutrik�� Combo input connectors and XLR throughput
connectors.Like all Equator Audio Q Series products, the new Q18S
benefits from cutting-edge DSP technology that helps mix engineers
ensure their room is optimized for accurate monitoring. Included with
every Equator Q Series product is a software application that enables a
mix engineer to manually compensate for acoustic anomalies in addition
to issues created by speaker placement and boundary conditions within
the listening environment. Along with the environmental compensation,
this included software also provides extraordinary control over the
monitors—including the ability to define crossover frequencies,
equalization, mute, solo, and phase. Stereo, 2.1, 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, and
8.2 monitoring configurations can be quickly and easily optimized and
saved.
