performance in an easy-to-use, ultra-portable

energy and protecting the environment.

Custom-Engineered
Transducers

Powerful, high-e ciency Class-D ampli ers

Take Control

The VQ1800D features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR Thru jacks for
connecting additional enclosures. A Boost Frequency knob targets a boost frequency between
40 and 90 Hz. Flick the Boost switch to give your selected frequency a +10 dB boost. The VQ1800D
also has a High Cut dial that provides precision control over the upper-corner frequency of the
subwoofer’s ampli er. The High Cut dial does not a ect the Thru signals, only signals directed to
the subwoofer. The signals at the Output sockets are processed through a 100 Hz high-pass  lter,
providing optimized feeds for your full-range satellite speakers. A Level knob controls the input gain,
and the Phase switch reverses the output phase to compensate for frequency cancellation between
the subwoofer and satellite speakers. LEDs show operational status at a glance, including power,
signal present and input overloads.

Which Speaker Do I Need?

As you have probably noticed, we make these subwoofers in two di erent woofer sizes. Which one
is right for you? An 18" woofer has more surface area with which to move air than a 15". If you’re
running sound for a jazz combo in a dinner club, a single VQ1500D might be all you’ll need. But if
you need to serve up pulse-pounding techno at a large, standing-room-only dance club, you might
need a pair of VQ1800Ds to really ignite the dance  oor.

Sound Value

The VQ1800D PA subwoofer stands head and shoulders above the rest of the pack and delivers
exceptional performance, even when pushed to the limit. Lightweight and powerful with
custom-designed transducers, 500 Watts of Class-D output power and a state-of-the-art onboard
active stereo crossover, the VQ1800D is ideal for any music application – at a price that is unheard
of in this class.

Experience the EUROLIVE VQ1800D at your local dealer today and  nd out why more and more
professionals are turning to BEHRINGER EUROLIVE active subwoofers for their superb performance
and extraordinary value.
