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.
