ELX200-18S is the passive 18″ subwoofer in Electro-Voice’s ELX200 range, putting an EVS-18L woofer into a braced 15 mm plywood cabinet with a polyurea top coat. It handles 400W continuous and 1600W peak, reaching 133 dB peak SPL with a frequency range from 28 Hz (-10 dB). Dual NL4 connectors and an M20 pole-mount plate make it a straightforward low end for a passive PA run from an external amplifier.
