The Electro-Voice ELX200-18SP is a 1200W powered 18-inch subwoofer that offers a high-performance, lightweight solution for live sound. It is a mid-range powerhouse that delivers up to 132 dB SPL and features integrated Bluetooth control for easy system tuning.

• Acoustic Output: A high-efficiency 1200W Class-D amplifier drives an 18-inch EVS-18L woofer, producing a frequency range of 40 Hz – 145 Hz (-10 dB).
• Enclosure: Unlike the plastic top units in the ELX200 series, the subwoofer features a 15 mm plywood cabinet with a durable EVCoat finish, balancing acoustic resonance with a manageable weight of 29 kg (64 lbs).
• Connectivity: Includes two XLR/TRS combo inputs and two XLR link outputs for connecting to full-range speakers.
• Mounting: An integrated M20 threaded pole mount plate allows for secure stacking of top speakers. 

• Presets: Includes three application-specific modes (Music, Live, Club) and five user-programmable slots to save and recall custom settings.
• System Matching: Features specific crossover settings to perfectly match the sub with ZLX, ELX200, and EKX full-range top units.
• Mobile App: The QuickSmart Mobile app (Bluetooth Low Energy) allows you to wirelessly configure and monitor up to six speakers simultaneously, providing real-time alerts if the system is being overdriven.

• Output vs. Weight: Reviewers from AudioTechnology and Thomann highlight its “phenomenal versatility” and note that it is remarkably light for an 18-inch wooden sub, making it a “best bang for your buck” for mobile DJs and bands.
• Limiter Protection: Professional users on Sweetwater praise the built-in peak limiter algorithm for preventing damage during high-volume events, though some note it can “limit early” when pushed to its absolute maximum outdoors.
• Sound Texture: Testers describe the bass as “warm and full,” noting that the wooden enclosure prevents the “plastic resonance” sometimes found in competing models.
