General

The 4-inch voice coil of the Arena SW 18 ensures a powerful, accurate low frequency reproduction, to as low as 35 Hz at a maximum capacity of 600 watts RMS. Furthermore, this sub cabinet gets sound pressure levels up to 132 dB at a crossover frequency of 150 Hz by way of the internal crossover, and it also features multiplex housing.

Additionally, the SW 18 features a passive sub crossover, which makes it easy to combine with passive high/mid cabinets, partly thanks to the internal passive LP filter for the woofer. Finally, it is also possible to work bi-amplified via an external active crossover or digital controller.
