Part of QSC’s E Series, the E118sw is a high-performance direct radiation subwoofer with a single, 800W, 18-inch, aluminum frame woofer. Its 4-ohm impedance means that this single woofer can be optimally powered by a less expensive amplifier, making it easy to achieve deep subwoofer “punch” on a budget.

More about QSC’s E Series Loudspeakers

The E Series family of passive loudspeakers from QSC offers robust construction, trusted reliability, and impressive sonic performance that makes this line of speakers ideal for sound reinforcement in entertainment applications including live performance, DJ and dance music, stage monitoring, karaoke, and event productions.

The E Series Family

E Series is made up of 6 models that are optimized for creating a complete E Series Entertainment System, but they are also compatible with any quality, professional power amplifier.

Premium Signal Processing

Achieve a higher level of audio performance with QSC’s finely-tuned digital signal processing (DSP). E Series loudspeakers are further enhanced when paired with QSC GXD or PLD amplifiers or with a QSC TouchMix™ digital mixer by taking advantage of the onboard DSP and factory-tuned presets. (Amps and mixers are sold separately.)

Built to Last

Each member of the E Series is constructed of rugged plywood with a black, textured paint finish. Their durable grilles are lined with foam to protect the woofers and enhance aesthetics.

The E110, E112, and E115 models are equipped with an all-metal, dual-angle, 35mm socket that allows them to be mounted vertically on a pole or angled down by 10° for better audience coverage.

Great for Portable or Installed Sound Setups

Use the E Series Yoke or M8 eyebolts to customize your mounting setup. Input connections include dual NL4 as well as screw terminal receptacles.

The larger E215 and E218sw models feature ergonomic, aluminum handles to ease portability.
