The 18iD is an 18 inch neodymium ultra high performance subwoofer. The transducer has been optimized for vented and bandpass subwoofer cabinet designs and is recommended for being driven by a Class D or iPal (tm*) amplifier able to deliver 3600 Watt program power without clipping. 18 Sound engineers have obtained the best possible results with today's available materials in terms of clean and undistorted LF reproduction at a ultra high SPL, with the lowest possible power compression figure. The 18iD design features include a large displacement suspension system specifically designed for matching the composite fiber reinforced, straight ribbed cone. Thanks to the Triple Silicon Spider (TSS) technology, the 18iD is able to control the moving mass with high linearity, showing an exceptional stability of mechanical parameter values in the long term. Bl force factor, as well as all other electro-dynamic parameters, are linear within the working range. This, together with the exceptional high excursion behavior - 70mm before damage, ±14mm linear Xmax - makes the 18iD an extremely low distortion, highly dynamic transducer. The 18iD features a state-of-the-art 5,3" inside outside ISV copper voice coil enabling the 18iD to deliver extraordinary transient results. The 18iD has been developed after intense FEA and fluidodynamics simulation and testing,focusing on dissipating the heat generated by the powerful voice coil. Special attention was given to the optimization of air flow into the gap without introducing audible noise. A low density material air diffractor placed into the heatsink acts as a cooling system, increasing the power handling capability and lowering the power compression figure.DATENBLATT

The 18LW1251 is the updated version of the 18LW1250, an 18 inch (460 mm) high performance extended low frequency transducer. It has been designed for use as a low bass or sub-woofer component, in either a reflex, bandpass or horn loaded configuration, in high power loudspeaker systems. The 18LW1251 design has evolved from extensive research carried out at our own R&D and Engineering facilities. It provides clean, undistorted low frequency reproduction at very high levels and is able to withstand high power without damage. The transducer design features include a large displacement suspension system which in conjunction with a high quality cone and the Eighteen Sound Double Silicon Spider (DSS), assure a very linear piston action and provide full control across the entire working range. This is further improved by a inside outside copper voice coil, based on our Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology. This provides high levels of thermal stability and durability. The ISV technology is based on a high strength fiberglas former with half the coil wound on the outside and half on the inside, bonded together using unique high temperature resin adhesives. The result is a balanced linear motor exerting a very high force factor. Excellent heat dissipation is derived from a basket design which incorporates air channels between the basket and the magnetic top plate. In addition, eight air vents in the back plate, aligned with the voice coil, force the air into the lower part of the gap. Maximum flux density in the gap is assured by the special top and back plate design, resulting in a high BL factor. Due to the increasing use of audio systems at outdoor events, the ability to perform in adverse weather conditions or in areas of high humidity is a key feature of the 18LW1251. This has been achieved using exclusive cone treatment and magnetic plate processes which increase resistance to corrosion and render the cone water repellent.DATENBLATT

A 100mm copper voice coil based on Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology increases this control, providing high levels of thermal stability and durability. ISV technology is based on a high strength fiberglas former with half the coil wound on the outside and half on the inside and bonded together using unique high temperature resin adhesives. Hence, a balanced linear motor unit, exerting an exceptionally high force factor is achieved. The low distortion and unmatched sound quality of the 18LW1400 has been significantly improved by the Double Demodulating Rings (DDR) embedded in the pole piece of the magnetic structure. These have been designed to dramatically reduce the intermodulation and harmonic distortion while improving the transient response. Excellent heat dissipation has been achieved from the special basket design which incorporates air channels between the basket and the magnetic top plate. In addition, 8 air vents incorporated into the back plate are aligned with the voice coil to force air into the lower part of the gap. Maximum flux density in the gap is assured by the top and back plate design, resulting in a high BL factor. 18LW1400 is able to perform properly under inclement weather conditions. The exclusive cone treatment improves pulp strength and gives water repellent properties to both sides of the cone. In addition, the special treatment applied to top and back plates of the magnetic structure is far more resistant to the corrosive effects of salts and oxidization.DATENBLATT

The 18NTLW5000 is a 18 inch diameter next generation high performance subwoofer, specifically designed for high SPL very low frequency applications in either a reflex, bandpass or horn loaded configuration. For optimum results we recommend the usage of power amplifiers able to deliver 4000W program power without clipping.The 18NTLW5000 uses Eighteen Sound proprietary Tetracoil technology, where two different, axially separated magnetic gaps and two inside-outside 4.5" diameter aluminum voice coils are wound on the same former and suspended evenly in the two magnetic gaps.The Tetracoil design key advantages are:1) a symmetric flux density versus displacement behavior, that minimizes the even distortion products;2) a very symmetric and flat inductance curve;3) the equivalent voice coil diameter of a 4.6" Tetracoil speaker is greater than 6". Consequently heat dissipation occurs over a larger surface area, driving AES power handling up to 1800 W.18NTLW5000 design features include a large displacement suspension system which, in conjunction with a fiberglass reinforced, straight ribbed cone allows an ultra-linear piston action and provides full mechanical control across the entire working range.In order to furtherly increase power handling and reduce power compression figure, a low density material air diffractor is placed into the backplate venting hole acting as a cooling system, increasing power handling capability and lowering the power compression figure.18NTLW5000 is able to perform properly under inclement weather conditions: the exclusive cone treatment improves pulp strength and gives water repellent properties to both sides of the membrane. In addition, magnetic structure metal plates coating is far more resistant than standard zinc coating to the corrosive effects of salts and oxidization. DATENBLATT

The 18W1001 is the updated version of the classic 18W1000, a low frequency woofer which has set a benchmark in 18" (460 mm) high output transducers. It represents a further development of the Eighteen Sound 18LW1250 but has a lighter mass and increased sensitivity. The 18W1001 can be used as a low bass or sub-woofer component in either a reflex, bandpass or horn loaded configuration, in high power fixed or touring loudspeaker systems. It provides clean, linear, undistorted low frequency reproduction at very high power levels. The high excursion capabilities of the surround and suspension system, in conjunction with the Double Silicon Spider (DSS), enables the 18W1001 to achieve high levels of linear travel while maintaining full control of the moving mass. The high quality curvilinear cone assures smooth response and exceptional strength with maximum reliability under high mechanical stress. The 100mm copper wire voice coil employs the Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology, in which a high strength fiberglas former carries windings on both the outer and inner surfaces to achieve a balanced coil with a uniform distribution of mass and motive energy. This results in an extremely linear motor assembly. Excellent heat dissipation has been achieved by incorporating air channels between the basket and magnetic top plate. Maximum flux concentration and force factor in the gap is assured by the unique shape and design of the top and back plates, which have been researched and designed using our in-house magnetic flux FEA CAD resource. Due to the increasing use of audio systems at outdoor events, the ability of the 18W1001 to perform in adverse weather conditions or in areas of high humidity is a key feature. This has been achieved using an exclusive cone treatment and magnetic plate processes which resist corrosion and render the cone water repellent.DATENBLATT
