TSW-218 Horn-loaded Subwoofer
The TSW-218 is a horn-loaded subwoofer incorporating Turbosound's patented loading
principles, designed for use in applications requiring accurate and powerful reproduction of
low frequency energy at very high levels. Its ability to reproduce program material with such
integrity makes the TSW-218 applicable for both fixed or mobile systems which require
energetic low frequency response without stress or enclosure corrective equalisation.
The TSW-218 incorporates the TurboBass™ device, which employs a high-velocity partial
horn-loading technique, giving precise cone control at high power levels. The proprietary 18”
drive units are the result of a development project that has produced a unique neodymium
motor system. The magnet system drives a dual-spider, split 4” voice coil which provides
linear BL (magnetic force) with displacement, ensuring optimum control from the motor
assembly and very low harmonic distortion even at the excursion limits. The 4” coil also
means a lower system moving mass than equivalent 5” units, resulting in higher sensitivity
and exceptional response to fast transient peaks.
The TSW-218 is capable of outstanding electrical to acoustic power conversion. Optimisation
of the stepped horn flare produces a dramatic increase in sensitivity when multiple units are
coupled.
