SVT18 Bass Cabinet
Your Ampeg SVT18 Bass Cabinet is a high quality
speaker cabinet suitable for all venue sizes. The SVT18
features a Custom Designed 18,” cast frame, low frequency
driver matched to a computer-tuned enclosure.
The steel jackplate features both Speakon
®
and 1/4”
input/output jacks. The Speakon
®
and 1/4” jacks are wired
in parallel, allowing easy daisy chaining from one speaker
to another. Each of the jacks may be used as an input or a
through connection.
Speakon
®
connectors are recognized as the standard
for professional installations, assuring a secure, permanent
connection that won’t corrode, vibrate loose or be easily
tampered with. The 1/4” jacks are convenient. However,
the Speakon
®
jacks are recommended when using power
amplifiers over 150 watts, for permanent installations, or
for the “first” speaker among a number of daisy chained
speakers.
