Electro Voice EVIVA 18SP Active Subwoofer

The Electro Voice EVIVA 18SP is a portable 18 inch powered subwoofer designed to deliver deep, punchy low end for DJs, bands and small venues. Packing a 1000 watt amplifier, a robust 18 inch woofer and a carefully engineered slot port, it delivers up to 132 dB of powerful bass in a compact, easy to handle enclosure that is built to withstand life on the road.

Part of the EVIVA family, the EVIVA 18SP combines signature Electro Voice sound quality with simple, performance focused controls. With selectable MUSIC and LIVE modes, flexible input options and a lightweight yet rugged plywood cabinet, it is ideal for anyone who needs serious low frequency reinforcement with fast, fuss free setup.

Powerful, Controlled Low End

At the heart of the EVIVA 18SP is an 18 inch WECA2188H woofer driven by a 1000 watt amplifier, delivering a maximum SPL of 132 dB. The large, low turbulence slot port is tuned to provide tight, controlled bass rather than boomy rumble, giving your kick drums, synths and bass guitars real authority across the audience area. With a frequency range from 38 Hz to 200 Hz (minus 10 dB), it comfortably covers the lows for modern music styles.

Fast, User Friendly Setup

The EVIVA 18SP has been designed for rapid deployment, so you can get great sound quickly without diving into complex menus. A single level knob handles overall sub level, while simple switches let you choose between MUSIC and LIVE voicing, 100 Hz or 150 Hz low pass filter points, and NORMAL or REVERSE polarity. Dual colour input signal metering and peak indication make it easy to keep an eye on levels at a glance.

Flexible Connectivity for Modern Rigs

Two XLR/TRS combo line inputs allow you to connect mixers, controllers or other line level sources with ease, while a pair of XLR pass through outputs makes integrating the EVIVA 18SP into existing systems straightforward. The 2 channel analogue input section keeps things simple and reliable, whether you are running a single sub or building a more substantial rig with multiple EVIVA tops and subs.

Road Ready Design

The EVIVA 18SP uses a 15 mm internally braced plywood enclosure finished in textured paint for strength and durability. A recessed input panel protects the controls and connectors in transit, while durable metal side handles and antiskid bottom feet make transport and positioning easier. The M20 threaded pole mount plate lets you securely mount a compatible full range top above the sub, keeping your system neat and compact on stage.

Universal Power for Global Use

With auto switching universal mains voltage from 100 V to 240 V at 50 to 60 Hz, the EVIVA 18SP is ready to perform in a wide range of locations. The IEC mains input keeps power connection straightforward, and the efficient amplifier design helps ensure consistent performance wherever you are working.
