OVERVIEW
The LAs118
v2
is one of the many members of the NEXT-proaudio LA Series speakers. It is a passive Hybrid-
Horn single 18” subwoofer. The integrated rigging hardware was designed to be used as part of a NEXT-proaudio
LA122
v2
system or as a stand-alone system using the exact same rigging frame structures. It is fully compatible
with the LA122
v2
line array element also on the ground. The LA122
v2
stacks on top of the LAs118
v2
without the
need of other accessories, providing a cheaper solution where this kind of assembly is needed.
The LAs118
v2
is fitted with universal plastic feet, being possible to stack it on any position. It stacks upside
down and turned backwards. This feature allows, for example, cardioid response system stacks.
The integrated low frequency driver, with 4” voice coil, delivers 2400W even on the lowest frequencies
allowing, when suspended with LA122
v2,
the best sound coherence.
