Powerful 1,000W Amplification with Deep Bass

The EVIVA 18SP features a 1,000W amplifier driving a large 18-inch ferrite woofer, delivering powerful low-frequency performance for DJs, musicians and live sound applications.

With a maximum SPL of 132dB and a frequency range of 38Hz to 200Hz (-10dB), it provides the depth and impact needed for bass-heavy music, dancefloors and live performances.

Its large slot ports are designed to reduce turbulence and distortion, helping maintain clean, controlled bass even when operating at higher output levels.

Designed to Complement the EVIVA 12P and 15P

The Electro-Voice EVIVA 18SP is designed to work alongside the EVIVA 12P and EVIVA 15P active PA speakers, allowing you to expand your existing system with dedicated low-frequency reinforcement.

By adding a powered subwoofer, your main speakers can concentrate on vocals, instruments and higher frequencies while the EVIVA 18SP handles the deeper bass.

This makes it an excellent upgrade for mobile DJs and entertainers who want a fuller sound with greater low-frequency impact.

Selectable MUSIC and LIVE Sound Modes

The EVIVA 18SP features selectable MUSIC and LIVE modes, allowing you to adjust its sound to suit different applications.

MUSIC mode is designed for recorded music playback, making it ideal for DJs, parties and dance music. LIVE mode provides an alternative setting for musicians and live sound reinforcement.

These simple controls make it easy to configure the subwoofer for different performances without navigating complicated menus.

Adjustable Low-Pass Filter and Polarity

To help integrate the subwoofer with your main PA speakers, the EVIVA 18SP includes switchable 100Hz and 150Hz low-pass filter settings.

The 100Hz setting is the default option for use with EVIVA 12P and EVIVA 15P speakers, while the alternative 150Hz setting provides additional flexibility for other system configurations.

A reversible polarity switch allows you to select normal or reverse polarity, helping optimise the relationship between the subwoofer and your main speakers.

Flexible Connections for PA Systems

The Electro-Voice EVIVA 18SP includes two XLR/TRS combo line inputs, allowing you to connect compatible DJ mixers, audio mixers and other line-level equipment.

Two XLR pass-through outputs allow signals to be routed onwards to your active PA speakers, making it straightforward to incorporate the subwoofer into a stereo sound system.

Individual level adjustment and signal indicators provide convenient control and visual feedback during operation.

Durable Plywood Enclosure

Built for regular transport and professional entertainment use, the EVIVA 18SP features a 15mm internally braced plywood enclosure with a textured painted finish.

A powder-coated steel grille helps protect the woofer, while durable metal side handles make the cabinet easier to lift and position.

Interlocking feet provide stability when stacking compatible units, and the recessed rear control panel helps protect connections and controls during transport.

Integrated M20 Speaker Pole Mount

The EVIVA 18SP features an integrated M20 threaded pole mount, allowing compatible speaker poles to be fitted directly to the subwoofer.

This makes it possible to position an EVIVA 12P or EVIVA 15P speaker above the subwoofer using a suitable pole, creating a compact and professional-looking PA system.

Compatible accessories include the Electro-Voice ASP-58 adjustable speaker pole and PCL35 speaker pole, available separately.

Practical Design for Mobile Entertainment

Despite its powerful 18-inch driver and robust plywood construction, the EVIVA 18SP weighs 30.7kg, making it manageable for mobile entertainment applications with appropriate lifting and handling.

Measuring 597 x 520 x 620mm, the cabinet is designed to provide substantial bass output while remaining practical for transport and installation.

Its universal 100–240V AC power supply also provides straightforward operation across compatible mains power systems.
