To match the extremely efficient P15 and still offer the same kind of power over weight ratio, NEXO has developed the L18, a compact sub-woofer with extremely high output level.
Unique Acoustic Design
The L18 is built around a 15 mm custom made bent plywood shell, using poplar veneer for the inside layers and birch of the outside. The result is a plywood with exceptionally good sound quality, a very robust enclosure and a light weight. The band-pass, Horn loaded tuning is done through two computer optimized shaped port guarantee of ultra-low distortion even at very high level.
Road-Ready Package
Three large comfortable handles on each side ensure easy manipulation of the L18 in any situation, particularly when used with its dedicated wheel-board and cover. The back plate holds two Speakon® connectors that can be used for both multiple L18 daisy-chaining or to link a P15 speaker. The strong front grill uses a very large hexa shaped design, mandatory not to restrict the air flow from the two larges tuned chambers.
A Beast of a Driver
The 18” neodymium transducer with a 4.5” voice coil offers an enormous stiffness and a very high displacement capacity. Together with the very unique cabinet design they produced a very tight sub-bass sound with a high impact.
Premium DSP Processing
Just like its companion main speaker P15, the L18 has been developed to precisely match the output power of the NXAMP4x2mk2. The L18 takes also advantage of the new processing algorithm running on the NXAMPmk2 amplifiers. The Advanced Dynamic Processing optimizes the match between the L18 maximum excursion with the NXAMPmk2 output voltage capacity. The result is a highly dynamic sound while preventing to trigger the thermal limit of the driver. Three different crossovers frequency (60, 85 and 120 Hz) using the same phase response that all other NEXO speaker will ensure a instant phase match with the P15 without hassle, or with any other sub for example. A dedicated minimum latency setup is also available, compatible with the minimum latency monitor setups of the P15. The result is a very efficient drum-fill system, both cabinet sharing the same width.

- Extends LF performance to 32Hz
- 140dB peak SPL
- Can be deployed in standard and cardioid modes
- Threaded inserts on the back and on both sides for connection of mounting accessories
- Standard fitting M20
