18-inch Powered Subwoofer
Launched in 1995, JBL’s best-selling EON family of PAs set the benchmark for how great a powered loudspeaker system can be. The JBL EON718S 18-inch subwoofer is part of JBL’s new EON700 Series of powered PAs, which represents a major step forward in innovation and technology by delivering truly intelligible, clearly consistent coverage at any volume level.
The EON700 Series leverages the latest acoustic science, transducer designs, cabinet materials and advanced DSP and control technologies to deliver extraordinary performance in a fully professional, highly flexible, easy to use, portable system. With four models available, including the 10-inch EON710, the 12-inch EON712 and the 15-inch EON715 powered PA speakers and the 18-inch EON718S subwoofer, EON700 systems cover the needs of today’s working musicians and sound providers. (Note: JBL EON718S Pro Connect App support is expected in April 2022, pending App Store / Google Play Store approval.)

All audio products have useful lives, and JBL engineers are committed to making that lifespan as long as possible—not only in terms of reliability but in terms of how good the system sounds every time it’s turned on. EON700 Series full-range speakers feature FEA-optimized composite enclosures, taking advantage of injection molding and mechanical-shaping techniques for added durability without sacrificing cabinet size or performance. The EON718S subwoofer is housed in a rugged 15-ply birch enclosure; computer-optimized ergonomic handles make moving these speakers and subwoofers a breeze.
