Blaze Audio BL118SSi-B – Single 18" High-Output Sub-Bass Subwoofer, Black

Product Overview

The Blaze Audio BL118SSi-B is a high-output single 18-inch sub-bass subwoofer engineered as a companion low-frequency unit for the CCA10i constant curvature array system. Designed for commercial sound reinforcement applications, it delivers powerful, controlled sub-bass output in a front-loaded enclosure optimized for efficiency and accuracy. As a commercial subwoofer for sound reinforcement, the BL118SSi-B provides the low-frequency extension the CCA10i array requires for complete system performance in auditoriums, houses of worship, and large multi-purpose venues. It is part of the Blaze by Sonance CCA Series ecosystem, available from Creation Networks.

Product Description

The BL118SSi-B houses a single 18-inch high-excursion woofer in a front-loaded enclosure purpose-built to complement the CCA10i line array system. It occupies the mid-tier of the Blaze by Sonance CCA subwoofer range — delivering substantial low-frequency output with a smaller footprint and lower per-unit cost than the dual-woofer BL218SSi-B. This makes it a practical choice for installations where budget or floor space constraints limit the use of larger sub-bass systems, or where moderate SPL targets can be met with a single-woofer configuration. The front-loaded enclosure design ensures clean, accurate transient response that complements the high-definition output of the CCA10i array cabinets above the crossover point. Integration with the CCA10i is straightforward: both products are designed within the same system framework, simplifying acoustic alignment and system commissioning. The black finish suits stage-deployed and floor-standing positions in commercial AV environments. For installations requiring maximum sub-bass output, the BL218SSi-B offers dual 18-inch woofers in the same system framework — both models are available at Creation Networks.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

What amplifier is required for the BL118SSi-B?
The BL118SSi-B requires a commercial power amplifier matched to the driver's impedance and power handling specifications. Consult the Blaze by Sonance datasheet and use a DSP processor for crossover and system alignment.

Does the BL118SSi-B require DSP processing?
Yes. DSP processing is required for correct crossover integration with the CCA10i array and to protect the driver from out-of-band excursion. Proper alignment is critical for system performance.

What is the difference between the BL118SSi-B and BL218SSi-B?
The BL118SSi-B uses a single 18-inch woofer and is suited for installations with moderate SPL requirements or tighter space/budget constraints. The BL218SSi-B uses dual 18-inch woofers for maximum output in larger venues. Both are available at Creation Networks.

How many BL118SSi-B units are needed per CCA10i array?
System requirements vary based on venue size, SPL targets, and coverage design. Contact Creation Networks for system design assistance tailored to your project.

Can the BL118SSi-B be used without the CCA10i array?
The BL118SSi-B is optimized for CCA10i system integration but can be deployed as a standalone commercial subwoofer. Consult Blaze by Sonance documentation for standalone deployment guidance.
