Fender knows the importance of sound reinforcement. From the simple box-top mixer
to today's professional touring concert systems, the need to communicate, to make the
connection between the performer and the audience is foremost in Fender's mind.

Perhaps no other single piece of gear can make or break your band's sound. You see,
your sound system is more than just a combination of dials, wires and speakers. It is
an integral part of the audio chain and should be treated with special care and attention
to detail.

At Fender, we know what building quality musical instruments and sound reinforcement
equipment is all about. In fact, many of the world's best sounding electric musical
instruments and sound reinforcement equipment proudly wear the Fender name.

Whether you need a simple box top powered mixer for your Saturday afternoon jam, or
a professional full-size concert system, Fender has the sound reinforcement equipment
to meet your needs.

Wishing you years of enjoyment and a heartfelt thank you,

Thank you for purchasing a Tour Series 118s or
118sc Professional Subwoofer from Fender®Pro
Audio. We are sure you will find it both a unique and
effective sound reinforcement product, providing
years of trouble-free service.

Designed for the most demanding concert sound
and sound contracting requirements, the cabinet’s
internal wood bracing helps eliminate side wall
movement. This design results in low distortion, very
high power handling and very high SPL output.
Likewise, large ports on the 118s and cabinet
prevent compression at high SPL due to large exit
velocities.

After moisture sealing, the 118s cabinet is painted
with a environmentally friendly tough black finish for
longer life and lasting looks. The 118sc is covered in
a rugged black carpet with the addition of metal
corners and feet. The 118s is equipped with
flypoints to attach rigging hardware for flying
applications. With its trapezoidal shape, the 118s
fits well in a tight cluster with either the 2912 or 2915
enclosures. When used in this configuration, the
118s effectively reproduces the low-end
frequencies; the 2912 / 2915's are then used as
mid-high cabinets.

CAUTION: Almost all speakers produce strong
magnetic fields which may interfere with the
normal operation of nearby electronic devices,
including televisions and computer video
monitors. To reduce or eliminate interference,
increase the distance between this product and
other nearby electronic devices.
