Product information:
The BASO cabinets are universally useable passive bass
cabinets. Their bass reflex design is engineered to be as
compact as possible while giving the maximum performance in
terms of sound quality and pressure. Their enclosures are
crafted out of sturdy high-quality plywood while their elegant
design enables them to be placed in any environment.
BASO18
Compact 18" bass reflex cabinet
The BASO18 is loaded with a 18” high-performance woofer
constructed using a woven carbon speaker cone which
exceptional strength and light weight of the results in drastically
reducing the break-up, thus ensuring a high level of efficiency
and excellent transient response. It has a Max power handling
of 1800 Watt, with an RMS rating of 900 Watt. The strength of
this loudspeaker originates from a 4” voice coil which is allowed
to extra long excursions. Displacements are precisely controlled
by the dual low-loss suspension resulting in a superior linear
behaviour.
These carefully selected high-grade materials in collaboration
with accurate acoustical craftsmanship results in an impressive
combination of punch and low frequency extension without
compromises. The highly efficient design results in a sensitivity
of 96 dB with a capability of continuous sound pressure
production up to 129 dB. The frequency response ranges from
32 Hz up to 300 Hz while going down to 30 Hz at -10 dB. The
enclosure is compact designed without any sacrifice to
robustness due to the 18 mm high-quality plywood material
finished with structured coating.
The integrated carry handles and possibility to add an optional
35 mm pole adapter improve its mobility. Connections are
made using two speakon compatible connectors located in a
recessed connector dish, allowing link-through to other
cabinets. This also allows close placement to any wall or corner.

Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifications:
5
The subwoofer shall incorporate a 18” transducer with 4” voice coil and powerful ferrite type magnet which is loaded into a bass
reflex front loaded enclosure. A dual low-loss suspension shall be used, precisely controlling voice coil replacements and resulting in
a superior linear behaviour. The enclosure shall have a compact rectangular shape with curved front finishing and an elegant
powdercoated steel grill which is lined with an acoustically transparent backing. The rear must have a trapezoidal shape while top
and bottom corners are bevelled.
The construction shall be made using 18 mm thick plywood finished with a structured coating which comes available in both black
(RAL9004) & white (RAL9003) colour. Input connectors shall be parallel wired using speakon compatible connectors fitted in a
re¬cessed connector dish allowing close placement to any wall or corner. Two integrated carry handles and an (optional) 35 mm pole
adapter shall be provided, improving the mobility of the system.
It shall have an RMS power handling of 900 Watt, a maximum power handling of 1800 Watt and an impedance of 8 Ohm. The
frequency response (-10 dB) shall range from 30 Hz to 1 kHz with a bass reflex tuning frequency of 38 Hz. The sensitivity shall be 96
dB when measuring with an input signal of 1 Watt at a distance of 1 meter, while the maximum continuous sound pressure level
shall reach 129 dB.
The system’s enclosure shall be 619 mm high, 520 mm wide and 615 mm deep and the weight shall not exceed 41.1 Kg
