Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.

Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see, your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention to detail.

At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment to meet your needs. Likewise, your decision to purchase Fender pro audio gear is one you will appreciate with each performance for years to come.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

118SA, 115SA specifications

The Fender 115SA and 118SA represent a significant leap in portable sound reinforcement, designed to meet the needs of musicians, DJs, and audio professionals alike. These powered subwoofers deliver an exceptional blend of power, versatility, and sound quality, playing a vital role in enhancing live performances and sound installations.

The Fender 115SA is equipped with a 15-inch speaker, which provides a reliable low-end response that can drive the rhythm of any set. With a robust power handling capacity, it delivers crisp and punchy bass, making it ideal for a variety of music genres. The 18-inch speaker of the 118SA takes the bass experience a step further, offering deeper lows and a more commanding presence, perfect for larger venues or events requiring more significant low-frequency output.

Both models feature a built-in Class D amplifier. This not only offers high efficiency, reducing power consumption and heat generation but also delivers substantial power output. The 115SA produces around 400 watts RMS, while the 118SA pushes out an impressive 600 watts RMS, ensuring that they can deliver a powerful performance in any setting.

In terms of connectivity, the Fender 115SA and 118SA come with versatile input and output options. They typically include XLR and 1/4-inch inputs, making it easy to connect them to mixers and other audio sources. Additionally, the output options allow these subwoofers to be used in conjunction with full-range speakers, making them versatile for various setups.

Sound quality is further enhanced with onboard DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology. This feature enables precise control over EQ settings, crossover frequencies, and phase adjustments, allowing users to tailor the sound to perfectly suit their specific needs and room acoustics.

Portability is another key highlight of the 115SA and 118SA. Both subwoofers are designed with a rugged construction that provides durability while also including features like integrated handles and lightweight design, facilitating easy transport and setup.

In summary, Fender’s 115SA and 118SA powered subwoofers combine cutting-edge technology with practical features that cater to professionals demanding quality and performance in their audio setups. Their powerful amplification, deep bass response, and flexible connectivity ensure that these subwoofers will enhance any sound reinforcement situation, making them indispensable tools for live sound applications.
