An 18-inch subwoofer that combines raw power, network control, native cardioid and portability: the QSC LS118 is a game-changer on stage and off.

ARTICLE N° 106944
The QSC LS118 has been designed to meet the practical needs of service providers and high-end fixed installations. It delivers up to 138 dB SPL thanks to an 18" long-excursion driver, driven by a 4000 W peak Class D amplifier. And despite this reserve of power, it all fits into a mobile format with integrated castors, ready for rapid deployment.

This subwoofer is equally at home as a solo or multipoint system. Two LS118s configured in cardioid mode drastically reduce the energy behind the stage while concentrating the bass towards the audience. This native option, with no external DSP, makes life easier for technicians on demanding live stages or in complex venues.

The LS118 integrates easily into modern audio networks thanks to its dual EtherCON port, compatible with Dante and QSC SysNav. It can be monitored, configured and controlled remotely, whether from a tablet on stage or from a control room. This saves time during sound checks and provides real security in the event of unforeseen events.

In addition to its advanced connectivity, QSC has equipped this model with a DEEP™ mode that significantly extends bass response for electronic music, urban stages or outdoor cinema screenings. This setting, which can be accessed directly via the integrated display, allows the sub's behaviour to be adapted to each event.

In terms of construction, nothing has been left to chance: 15 mm birch plywood chassis, shock-resistant Polyurea coating, silent professional castors and M20 bases for horizontal or vertical mounting. All of this is housed in a sleek, stylish black cabinet compatible with the LA108 and LA112 active line arrays.

The QSC LS118 isn't just for big tours: clubs, theatres, mobile service providers and technical churches will find it an intelligent, powerful and discreet subwoofer, designed above all for the realities of the field.
