HARMAN’s JBL Professional today introduced the JBL EON618S, an 18-inch, 1000W
powered subwoofer that is durable, supports true low-frequency extension and can
be controlled wirelessly. In keeping with its hugely popular predecessors in the long
line of portable EON loudspeakers, the JBL EON618S is designed to meet the
demands of today’s working musicians and sound providers in the areas of
flexibility, portability and ease of use. JBL Professional designed the subwoofer to
be simultaneously lightweight and rugged, visually compatible with nearly any
setting and, perhaps most importantly, capable of delivering sound that is both
clear and powerful.

While the JBL EON618S weighs in at just 78 pounds, it delivers a range of robust
new features and capabilities. The JBL EON618S’s maximum SPL output is 134 dB,
with a frequency range of 3Hz – 150Hz ( -10 dB) and a frequency response of
42.5Hz – 150Hz ( -3 dB). DSP parameters, including presets for EON600, EON200
and other manufacturers’ full-range loudspeakers, can be controlled via a Bluetooth
app for iOS and Android. Selectable crossover presets are available through the
EON Connect app. The JBL EON618S is tuned for optimal performance with the JBL
EON610, JBL EON612 and JBL EON615 full-range systems.

Aesthetic design enhancements to the JBL EON618S include premium handles, a
standard M20 threaded pole cup and an extremely rugged enclosure. The JBL
EON618S’s design maximizes cabinet volume while maintaining a highly
transportable form factor.

The JBL EON618S extends a tradition that started in 1995 with the introduction of
the first HARMAN JBL EON portable PA loudspeakers, nearly one million of which
have been used for countless applications since. In January 2014, JBL Professional
continued the line’s tradition of excellence with the JBL EON600 Series
loudspeakers, featuring new waveguide technology for uniform coverage, an
updated design with a new enclosure for road-worthy durability and Bluetooth
control of all EQ functions for easy system adjustment. The entire JBL EON600
Series leverages the latest technologies in cabinet materials, acoustic science,
transducer design and user friendliness.
