High-Performance 18-Inch Subwoofer for Powerful Low-End Response
The Yamaha RS18-PI is a dual 18-inch subwoofer designed for installation applications that demand high-output, extended low-frequency performance. Utilizing NEXO's innovative RAY SUB technology, the RS18-PI optimizes sound dispersion by enhancing the phase relationships between its front and rear radiating surfaces. This allows for highly efficient forward projection and substantial rear cancellation, providing clear, controlled bass response in any venue.
Versatile Configurations for Omni and Directional Subwoofer Arrays
Unlike conventional subwoofers, the RS18-PI offers configurable directivity, making it adaptable to various system designs. When used as a standalone subwoofer, it can operate as an omnidirectional low-frequency source. For more focused coverage, rotating the cabinet alters its dispersion pattern to minimize reflections and maximize bass projection. In array configurations, the RS18-PI can be arranged in front-to-front, back-to-back, or vertically stacked setups, allowing precise beam-steering for optimal venue coverage.
Cardioid Subwoofer Technology for Reduced Stage Noise
With its advanced cardioid pattern capabilities, the RS18-PI significantly reduces rear levels and minimizes unwanted low-frequency energy behind the subwoofer. This feature is particularly beneficial in live sound applications where excessive stage rumble and feedback can interfere with microphone performance. By directing bass energy towards the audience while canceling it at the rear, the RS18-PI provides superior low-end clarity with minimal on-stage interference.
Engineered for Maximum Efficiency and Reliability
The RS18-PI is built for durability with a Baltic birch plywood enclosure, reinforced with a textured black coating. The cabinet features aerodynamic profiled vents that reduce port noise by 20dB, ensuring clean, distortion-free bass output even at high SPL levels. The system is compatible with NEXO NXAMP digital controllers and NX242ES4 processing for precise crossover alignment and protection, delivering consistent performance while preventing speaker damage.
Ideal for Installations and Touring Applications
Designed for large-format installations and demanding touring applications, the RS18-PI offers exceptional flexibility with multiple rigging and mounting options. The cabinet includes handles, bumpers, and dolly accessories for convenient transport and setup. Its compact yet powerful design makes it suitable for high-energy venues, concert halls, houses of worship, and theaters where deep, impactful bass is required.
