Thank you for purchasing a Tour Series 118s or 118sc Professional Subwoofer from Fender® Pro Audio. We are sure you will find it both a unique and effective sound reinforcement product, providing years of trouble-free service.

Designed for the most demanding concert sound and sound contracting requirements, the cabinet’s internal wood bracing helps eliminate side wall movement. This design results in low distortion, very high power handling and very high SPL output. Likewise, large ports on the 118s and cabinet prevent compression at high SPL due to large exit velocities.

After moisture sealing, the 118s cabinet is painted with a environmentally friendly tough black finish for longer life and lasting looks. The 118sc is covered in a rugged black carpet with the addition of metal corners and feet. The 118s is equipped with flypoints to attach rigging hardware for flying applications. With its trapezoidal shape, the 118s fits well in a tight cluster with either the 2912 or 2915 enclosures. When used in this configuration, the 118s effectively reproduces the low-end frequencies; the 2912 / 2915's are then used as mid-high cabinets.

CAUTION: Almost all speakers produce strong magnetic fields which may interfere with the normal operation of nearby electronic devices, including televisions and computer video monitors. To reduce or eliminate interference, increase the distance between this product and other nearby electronic devices.

118SC, 118S specifications

Fender has long been synonymous with exceptional musical craftsmanship, and the Fender 118S and 118SC stand as testaments to the brand's commitment. The 118 series includes high-performance speakers that reflect Fender's signature tone and style, tailored for musicians who demand quality and reliability.

The Fender 118S features an 18-inch speaker with a custom-designed low-frequency driver, providing deep bass response and powerful projection. This model is ideal for larger venues, ensuring a rich sound that fills the space. Its sturdy construction and robust design make it suitable for touring musicians, whether on stage or in the studio.

One of the standout features of the 118S is its ability to handle high power levels, making it versatile for various applications. With its impedance rating carefully designed to work seamlessly with many amplifiers, the 118S ensures optimal performance. Moreover, this speaker incorporates advanced voice coil technology, which aids in thermal dissipation, allowing for extended use without the risk of overheating.

On the other hand, the Fender 118SC offers similar build quality but focuses more on versatility and compactness. With a subwoofer configuration, it’s perfect for setups requiring extra low frequencies without being overly cumbersome. The 118SC is designed to support smaller guitar amplifiers and can be paired with kicks or standalone setups seamlessly.

Both models are equipped with an effective rear bass port that enhances low-frequency response, ensuring punchy bass notes that punch through a mix. The cabinet construction plays a significant role in sound quality; both the 118S and 118SC feature rugged, road-ready enclosures that withstand the rigors of live performance.

Artists appreciate the design elements that allow for easy integration into different setups. The 118S and 118SC include durable handles for portability, making them user-friendly for musicians on the move.

In summary, whether you choose the robust 118S for its powerful performance or the versatile 118SC for its compact flexibility, Fender's offerings in this series deliver exceptional sound quality. With their innovative technologies and thoughtful design features, these speakers are built to satisfy the needs of discerning musicians across all genres.
