The ASH6118 is a high-power, horn-loaded subwoofer engineered for applications requiring maximum low-frequency impact and sensitivity. Featuring a single 460 mm (18-inch) SVG™ Super Vented Gap low-frequency driver, this subwoofer delivers deep, precise bass with exceptional “punch” for professional sound reinforcement. Designed for use in multiples, the ASH6118 can be deployed in pairs, quads, or larger arrays to optimize low-frequency output and coverage, making it ideal for dance clubs, live performance venues, performing arts facilities, sports arenas, theaters, houses of worship, and themed entertainment installations.
With an advanced horn-loaded design, the ASH6118 maximizes acoustic efficiency and provides consistent low-frequency dispersion. Its robust construction ensures reliable performance even under the demanding conditions of high-SPL installations. The system is engineered to deliver powerful, low-distortion bass, ensuring that audiences experience the full depth and clarity of music or theatrical sound design.
Each cabinet offers flexibility in placement, whether deployed with proximity placement for smaller clusters or surface-boundary loading for larger arrays. Single, dual, or quadruple cabinet configurations provide scalable performance with frequency ranges extending from 22 Hz to 250 Hz, depending on the number of units used. The subwoofer features impressive system sensitivity from 102 dB to 107 dB and maximum SPLs reaching up to 150 dB in four-cabinet arrays.
The ASH6118 combines power, precision, and reliability, making it an essential solution for audio professionals seeking top-tier low-frequency reinforcement. Its combination of SVG driver technology, horn-loaded design, and scalable deployment ensures maximum impact in any venue while maintaining clarity and control over low-frequency output.
