General Description:

The Electro-Voice® TX1181 is a high power subwoofer that can be used to extend the low frequency performance of the TX1122 and TX1152 loudspeaker systems.

The TX1181 uses the EVS-18S, a high excursion 18” woofer, coupled to well braced enclosure with large, low distortion ports, to add high impact bass response to any fullrange loudspeaker. An integrated low pass filter allows the TX1181 to be connected in parallel with

a TX1122 or TX1152 on a single amplifier channel, eliminating the need for additional amplifier channels and processing.

The TX1181 has many features that make it a versatile subwoofer system. The enclosure is constructed out of a combination of MDF and plywood, and coated with EVCoatTM for maximum strength and durability. The unique grille design is very strong, dent resistant, and features a rotatable logo. Four way handles allow for gripping the TX1181 in a variety of positions. The recessed input panel with dual NL4 connectors keeps the connectors hidden and allows for closer placement to a wall or other boundary. An integrated pole mount allows for elevating a TX1122 or TX1152, and integrated mounting points on the rear of the enclosure allow the optional TX-W1 wheel kit to be attached for easy portability.
