The NEXO P18 is a compact, high-output point-source loudspeaker built around a purpose-designed 18″ LF Neodymium driver and a 4″ diaphragm HF driver in a coaxial configuration. Housed in a curvilinear birch and poplar plywood enclosure, it can be deployed vertically as a main or horizontally as a stage wedge monitor, with HF directivity set to match the application. A recessed rear switch selects between 2-way passive and 2-way active operation, making it a flexible choice for touring rigs and fixed installations alike.
