The E218sw is a high-performance passive subwoofer with two, 800 W, 18-inch aluminum
frame woofers. It’s designed to produce crushing low-end for live performance bands and
high-energy dance music. For portable applications it includes attachment points for four
optional casters. The subwoofer’s 4-ohm impedance means that a single unit can be optimally powered by an affordable power amplifier.
E Series Loudspeakers
The E Series is a range of passive loudspeakers offering robust construction, trusted
reliability and overall sonic performance beyond expectations. Intended for sound
reinforcement in entertainment applications including live performance, DJ and dance
music, karaoke and event production, E Series loudspeakers will deliver outstanding results.
Building on the proven, QSC “Systems” methodology, the E Series loudspeakers’
performance is further enhanced when paired with QSC GXD or PLD amplifiers or with a
QSC TouchMix™ digital mixer, and taking advantage of the on-board DSP and factory-tuned
presets. These presets support a variety of applications including live sound reinforcement,
stage monitoring, dance music and karaoke.
E Series consists of six models constructed of rugged plywood and coated in black,
textured paint. Heavy-duty grilles lined with foam provide protection for the woofers and an
elegant appearance. E10, E12 and E15 models are equipped with an all metal, dual-angle,
35 mm socket that allows the speaker to be mounted vertically on a pole or angled down
by 10° to improve audience coverage and reduce rear wall reflections. Multiple mounting
options using E Series Yoke or M8 eyebolts are supported. Input connections include dual
NL4 as well as screw terminal receptacles. Additionally, E215 and E218SW models feature
ergonomic, aluminum handles to ease portability.
