This type of load allowslimiting and distributing load’s volume in order toobtain excellent ratio on size/acoustic power. Thecombination of Exclusive load (double chamber &K-horn) brings in the usable bandwidth an additional4 dB gain compared to conventional direct radiationsubwoofers.Convection cooling technology used with theneodymium woofer reduces thermal compressionby nearly 2dB which confers to the TB118S anexceptional acoustic pressure capacity.The ergonomics of the cabinet associated to theuse of neodymium woofer allow substantial weightreduction. Handling is secured by 3 recess handles.The KR100 or KR125 options features 4 rotatingcasters with wheels diameter of 100 mm and 125mm respectively.Operation of the TB118S requires the use of an APGdynamic processor for LP Series or Matrix Series.This subwoofer is ideally used for low frequencyreinforcement with Matrix Array systems, Beamseries and loudspeakers from DS Series such asthe DX15, DS15S or SMX15.Subwoofer TB118SThe TB118S subwoofer is a new generation infra bass subwoofercombining high acoustic performance with user-orientated ergonomicsdesign.It is characterized by its capability of producing high sound pressurelevel with accurate sound reproduction, precision and warmth.The double interactive load offers an excellent control over the diaphragmdisplacement which increases the mechanical reliability and reduces theharmonic distortion, compared to conventional subwoofers featuringdirect radiation.Ergonomics allows all type of handling by only one person. Thecompactedness of the TB118S is suitable for the constraints of discreetfixed installation while the ease of handling will answer to the constraintsof touring companies.The TB118S subwoofer is specially designed to offers great musicalquality optimized in the low frequency bandwidth.The dimension of the TB118S is fully adapted to create network sourcesand manage low frequency directivity such as cardioids configuration,line source configuration, arc configuration, etc.

These processors provide with active crossover, EQ, speakers protection, standard filteringfunctions for a stereo system including subwoofers.(1) Frequency response is limited to 80 Hz by thelow-pass filter of APG processors, however the TB118Scan be used up to 140 Hz.(2) In order to take full benefit of the dynamicperformance, sonic quality and reliability of the speakers,the recommended amplification must at least correspondto the AES rating. Lesser amplification is acceptable forapplications requiring less power (near-field, distributedsystems,...), whilst not being less than half the AESrating. The AES power handling corresponds to a 2hour test using weighted pink noise (peak factor of 6dB)through a frequency range of one decade.(3) The 4 pins Speakon connectors are wired 1+, 1- in.(4) The KR100 & KR125 options are respectively 100mmand 125mm rotating casters with brakes.(5) AEROQUIP system to allow speaker installationwith safety slings.(6) Stainless steel screws and waterproofing of speakercones.(7) Tropicalisation includes fiber-glass reinforcedpolyester coating of the cabinet, stainless steel screwsand waterproofing of speaker cones.(8) Paint preparation for the requested color.Printing : October 2010“A five years warranty covers passivefilters, transducers and compressiondrivers.
