The Electro-Voice TX1181 is a high-power subwoofer that can be used to extend the low-frequency performance of the TX1122 and TX1152 loudspeaker systems. The TX1181 uses the EVS-18S, a high excursion 18” woofer, coupled to a well-braced enclosure with large, low distortion ports, to add high-impact bass response to any full-range loudspeaker. An integrated low pass filter allows the TX1181 to be connected in parallel with a TX1122 or TX1152 on a single amplifier channel, eliminating the need for additional amplifier channels and processing.
The TX1181 has many features that make it a versatile subwoofer system. The enclosure is constructed out of a combination of MDF and plywood and coated with a black EVCoat finish for maximum strength and durability—all while keeping the sub’s weight to a minimum. Built to take on the rigors of touring or heavy-duty permanent use, the TX1181’s unique grille design is very strong, is dent resistant, and features a rotatable logo. Four-way handles allow for gripping the TX1181 in a variety of positions so you can get it placed perfectly to enjoy its performance at its best. The recessed input panel with dual NL4 connectors keeps the connectors hidden and allows for closer placement to a wall or other boundary. An integrated pole mount allows for elevating a TX1122 or TX1152, and integrated mounting points on the rear of the enclosure allow the optional TX-W1 wheel kit to be attached for easy portability. (The TX1122, TX1152, and TX-W1 are sold separately.)

More about Electro-Voice’s Tour-X Series
Building on Electro-Voice’s years of experience and expertise in designing premium-quality loudspeakers, the Tour X series is a unique, functional package of pro audio performance, versatility, and aesthetics. Each model of the TX series utilizes the DH3, which is a high-output 1.25-inch titanium compression driver and is coupled to a Constant Directivity 90° x 50° horn. This results in a smooth response and excellent pattern control in short to medium-throw applications. The integrated SMX2120 12-inch woofer has an FEA-optimized magnet structure and shorting ring for very low distortion and maximum intelligibility at high SPL levels. The crossover uses steep octave slopes with equalization for a smooth response in vocal range, extended HF, and a protection circuit for long-term reliability.
