B&C Speakers - 18SW100 4 Ohm

The B&C Speakers 18SW100 4 Ohm is an 18-inch subwoofer designed for broadcast systems requiring power and reliability over long periods. With its 100 mm split-wound copper coil, it delivers up to 3000 W continuously, guaranteeing dense, sustained bass even under the most intensive use. This model is particularly well suited to large-volume bass-reflex loudspeakers, ideal for concerts and clubs.

Its frequency response of 35 Hz to 1 kHz makes it a good choice for covering deep bass and the lower end of the spectrum with great precision. The 96dB sensitivity offers solid efficiency, making the most of every watt injected, a major asset for optimising high-power systems without sacrificing sound quality.

Thanks to its robust aluminium bowl and optimised neodymium magnet, the 18SW100 combines lightness and efficiency. The concentrated magnetic field ensures better control of diaphragm movement, reducing distortion and improving linearity. The result is a cleaner, more defined bass, free from parasitic vibrations.

The triple-roller suspension and double silicone spider ensure precise mechanical control. The 12.5 mm linear excursion and 16 mm mechanical reserve provide plenty of headroom to handle signal peaks without loss of control. This design ensures balanced reproduction, even at extreme sound levels.

To extend the life of the driver, the radial cone is waterproofed on both sides. The whole unit is designed to withstand demanding environments, whether touring, fixed outdoor installations or live indoor events. Optimised ventilation of the air gap helps to limit overheating and therefore power compression.

The 18SW100 4 Ohm is aimed at sound engineers and integrators looking for a subwoofer capable of delivering power, reliability and bass finesse, with an excellent compromise between performance and durability.
