DESCRIPTION
I SERIES Subwoofer 800 loudspeakers provide
exemplary acoustic performance, modular flexibility
and elegant aesthetics for modern per formance
venues. Designed to support the goals of s ystems
integrators and consultants both acoustically and
mechanically, I SERIE S Subwoofers provide a broad
range of sizes and capabilities that can be specifically
matched to the needs of any modern venue.
The compact, low-profile single driver I SERIES
subwoofers are ideal for distributed or concealed
sub-bass and are the perfect choice for ground
stack applications. Additionally, each cabinet was
carefully designed to provide matching face widths
and suspension point locations for seamless
integ ration int o flown array s with I SERIE S full-range
model s when additional LF extension is needed but a
compact appearance is required. The broad r ange of
optional low profil e fly rails, fly f rames and modular
array brackets reduces design and installation time
while also providing improved aesthetics and nearly
limitless integration possibilities.
The IS8-118 is a compact, direct radiating subwoofer
with l arge, balanced ports that provide optimal
enclosure tuning and even air pressure distribution
to the dr iver cones , reducing dis tortion a nd extending
system longevity. FEA optimized linear suspensions
and high flux neodymium motors with long linear
excursion capabilities provide exceptionally deep
bass for the enclosure’s size.
FEATURES
• High-flux, linear neodymium motors with demodulation rings for very low distortion
• Matched-size enclosure and aligned suspension point for seamless flown array integration
• 1600W continuous power handling (6400W peak)
• Long, linear excursion ensures deep, clean bass extension at maximum output
• Isolated driver air volumes allow use of directional steering techniques within a single enclosure
