Sound Barrier CORE8218SP — 18-Inch Passive High Power Subwoofer
CORE8218SP Overview
The Sound Barrier CORE8218SP is a passive 18-inch sub-bass system built for professional live sound reinforcement, touring, and installed audio applications requiring high output and extended low-frequency performance. At its core is a single ultra-long-excursion 18-inch woofer with a 4-inch voice coil, front-loaded in a reflex-ported enclosure that extends low-frequency output below the driver’s natural cutoff point. The cabinet is designed primarily as a companion to the CORE 8218A active sub-bass cabinet, while remaining fully compatible with external rack-mount amplification for passive system configurations. Audio engineers, system integrators, and touring companies will find the CORE8218SP a versatile, deployment-ready solution for demanding sub-bass applications.
The CORE8218SP is compact and lightweight for its class, supporting both flown and ground-stacked deployment, and features a proprietary rigging system directly compatible with the CORE 82A, CORE 82P, and CORE 8218A cabinets for seamless system integration.
