Milan M18B

2200-Watt 18” Powered Subwoofer

The Milan M18B is powered 18” bandpass subwoofer that extends the frequency range and
increases the overall loudness of any Milan system.

The bandpass design produces high bass energy within the pass band, which is tuned to
reinforce bass instrument frequencies, and the steep cut-off slopes ensure an effective
acoustic transition to Milan full-range loudspeakers.

The onboard Class-D amplifier provides over 2,200 watts of maximum output power with
plenty of headroom to power the long-excursion bass driver, allowing short term
transients to be reproduced with wide dynamic range. Two discrete balanced XLR inputs
plus corresponding thru connections on balanced male XLR allow a stereo system
comprising of two Milan full-range loudspeakers to be operated with only one subwoofer
if required, the sub-bass frequencies being filtered and summed to the subwoofer drive
unit. A switchable 6dB boost is available at a centre frequency between 40Hz and 90Hz,
while an overall level control allows the sub-bass frequencies to be balanced with the
system. A polarity switch is provided for optimum subwoofer integration. Rear panel LEDs
indicate power on, signal present, and the onset of limiting action.

The birch plywopod cabinet is equipped with heavy duty wheels to aid handling and
transportation, while the pole mount socket allows Milan full range loudspeakers to be
mounted on top of the subwoofer with a minimal footprint.
