The Pioneer Pro Audio XY Series is getting a powerful addition with the launch of the XY-218HS dual 18-inch, fully horn-loaded subwoofer – designed to deliver ultra-low frequencies at the high sound pressure level (SPL) needed for large venues and outdoor events.
Our most powerful subwoofer yet, the XY-218HS has a coiled horn to magnify the sound from its two high performance 18-inch LF drivers and produces a rapid bass response that throws long distances without loss of SPL. Its robust multi-laminate birch plywood enclosure is reinforced with rigged support braces to reduce resonance and distortion, and provide a robust exterior to withstand life on the road.
We’ve designed the XY-218HS to work in harmony with the XY-122 and XY-152 two-way speakers to create a balanced sound. Plus we’ll be adding an extremely powerful new full-range speaker to the XY Series soon.
The XY-218HS is available from July 2016. Find out more about the versatile XY Series including the fully horn-loaded XY-218HS
