Xh18 

 

The Xh18 subwoofer can be used with any of the X Series speaker’s range, X8, X12, X15 and 

X212, in order to extend and increase the total low frequency output power. The Xh18 is a hybrid-

horn loaded subwoofer enclosure that provides a powerful bass from a long excursion 18” driver with 

100mm voice coil, extending the frequency response of the complete system down to 30Hz. The 

Xh18 enclosure provides a top hat fitting to be used as a pole socket to mount a X8, X12 or X15 

speaker.  The  use of the NEXT LMS242, Digital Signal Processor, will improve the speaker’s 

performance as well as its durability. The speaker’s use without the LMS242 will result in poorer 
sound quality and the components damage may occur. 

 

There are two different kinds on this model, the left and the right version. The main purpose 

is to have the horns together when coupling several Xh18 elements.
