QW 218 specifications

The Peavey QW 218 is a dual 18-inch subwoofer renowned for its outstanding performance and reliability in various sound reinforcement applications. Designed for both touring systems and fixed installations, this subwoofer caters to a wide range of audio needs, making it a preferred choice among audio professionals.

At the core of the QW 218 are its two high-performance 18-inch transducers. These speakers are engineered to deliver powerful low-frequency responses, capable of reproducing deep bass notes that are essential for music genres such as hip-hop, EDM, and rock. The transducers feature dual 4-inch voice coils that enhance their power handling capabilities, allowing the subwoofer to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion.

One of the standout characteristics of the QW 218 is its unique bass reflex design. This design provides a more efficient low-frequency extension and increases the output level of the subwoofer. As a result, users can enjoy a rich, full-bodied sound that fills the performance space, whether it’s a small club or a large auditorium.

Durability and road-readiness are intrinsic to the QW 218's design. The cabinet is constructed from high-quality plywood, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of constant transport and set-up. The enclosure is finished with a rugged black carpet, which not only adds to the aesthetic but also aids in protecting the wood from scratches and dings.

For versatility, the Peavey QW 218 comes equipped with multiple input options, including speakON and 1/4-inch connectors, facilitating easy integration into multiple signal paths. Other advanced features include a crossover network specifically designed to optimize performance, ensuring that the low frequencies are handled seamlessly.

The subwoofer also boasts built-in handles for easier transport and setup, as well as rubber feet that help to decouple the speaker from the ground, enhancing sound clarity. Additionally, the thoughtful design allows for the stacking of multiple QW 218 units, enabling users to create larger sound systems as needed.

Overall, the Peavey QW 218 subwoofer stands out as a premier choice for those looking for power, reliability, and exceptional sound quality in a compact package.
