Martin Audio - Blackline Q218-B Subwoofer noir 2x18"
The Martin Audio Blackline Q218-B subwoofer is a double 18" passive subwoofer designed to seriously reinforce the lower end of the spectrum in live performance or installation. It goes down to 38 Hz with a pressure level that rises very high, ideal for stages, clubs or events where the bass must remain clean and powerful. Its sturdy plywood construction with optimised vents keeps the bass under control even at high levels.
Presentation
The thick plywood cabinet withstands the rigours of transport and intensive use. Slot vents reduce airborne noise and improve low-spectrum accuracy, especially at high volumes. The steel grille effectively protects the drivers without impeding airflow. The 4 ohm impedance allows you to fully exploit the power of suitable amplifiers.
This model can be easily integrated into a system with BlacklineQ series speakers to build a coherent sound system. It has three NL4 connectors, which simplifies daisy-chaining depending on the configuration. It can be floor-mounted, stacked or suspended using M10 inserts. An M20 base is provided to accommodate a mast and place a loudspeaker on top.
Side handles make it easy to handle, despite weighing in at over 80 kg. Skids and housings ensure stable stacking, which is practical when performing. This subwoofer should be used with a suitable processor and amplifier to get the best out of the system. It's equally at home in concerts, clubs, events and permanent installations.
