No longer available at zZounds
Add this 18" powered sub to your PA and pump out 1400 watts of pounding, precise bass. Built in over-excursion and clip limiters keep things under control.

The Behringer B1800D PRO Eurolive active subwoofer is a thoughtfully designed sub with a massive 1400 watts of power. It utilizes a powerful 18-inch long-excursion speaker that is specially designed to maintain perfect tonal consistency with excellent heat gain management. It delivers its clean yet powerful bass with a Behringer-designed Class D amplifier. This powered sub comes with highly musical control knobs for obtaining maximal control over your sound.

Many Thoughtful and Useful Features

The Behringer B1800D PRO Eurolive is distinguished by a number of unique features that set it apart from most powered subwoofers. First of all, its state-of-the-art 1400-watt Class-D amplifier utilizes innovative active electronics to monitor and automatically adjust for dynamic over-excursion, thermal gain, and over-peak limit protection. This ensures that your sound is always great and that your speakers are protected from unforeseen dynamic surges or cross-feeds. There is a built-in active stereo crossover that delivers true high-pass filtered output when the sub is used in conjunction with full-range satellite loudspeakers. There is a variable High Cut control to get the sound aligned properly. Finally, tunable Bass Boost and a Phase switch allow for maximal control over your low-frequency.

Dial In Your Low-End Punch

The B1800D PRO's Boost Frequency knob gives you a linear frequency selector with range between 45 Hz and 90 Hz. The Boost switch then gives your selected frequency read more a +6 dB boost. The B1800D also features a High Cut dial to assure that the overtones of your low-end signal are crisp and well defined. A Level knob gives you a wide margin of input gain. There is also a Phase switch to reverse the output phase in case you encounter phase cancellations between the subwoofer and tops. Bright and attractive LEDs show you power status, signal present, and signal peaks at a glance.

Ready For Whatever You Throw At It

The B1800D PRO features balanced XLR ins and outs. The balanced XLR Thru jacks allow you to daisy chain with additional enclosures.

Don't Let The Size Fool You

The B1800D PRO Eurolive delivers its 1400 watts of power from a cabinet measuring 33 x 28 x 28 inches. It achieves this size-to-power ratio with one of Behringer's custom-designed Class-D amplifiers. These cut down on the weight of the circuitry and also run cooler without the need for added fans.

Features:

- Integrated 1400-W Class-D amplifier
- Powerful 18-inch long-excursion transducer with high temperature voice coils
- 2 x XLR balanced inputs
- 2 x XLR balanced outputs
- 2 x XLR balanced Thru jacks
- 6 dB bass boost with adjustable 45 - 90 Hz range
- Integrated pole mount for full-range systems
- Indicator Lights for Power, Signal, and Limit

Class-D amplifiers (with switch-mode power supplies) drive the custom-designed low frequency drivers for sonically optimized output. And the best part of all--the B1800D PRO provides a much better power-to weight ratio than many competing active subwoofers. Powered by 1400 Watts through 18-inch speakers. As always, the speakers are made by Behringer in their own factory.

Put simply, these cool-running systems are much lighter, making them ultra-easy to transport and set up-- and their no-compromise design means you get amazingly-deep, chestpounding bass that will keep the party going all night long. They'll add needed bottom-end to your active full-range speaker system.

What is Class-D Technology?

Instead of operating relatively continuously like Class AB circuits, Class-D amps switch on and off thousands of times per second, delivering power only when needed. In other words, the amplifier is either fully on or fully off, which significantly reduces power losses from the output devices given off as heat. Less heat means the amps don't need massive heat sinks, and that means we can make them lighter. Behringer's no-compromise design means the B1800D PRO will deliver full power with incredible fidelity all night long, without the need for lengthy rest cycles.

When used in conjunction with switching-mode power supplies, which don't require huge and heavy transformers, the Class-D amplifiers provide tremendous dynamic punch and superior fidelity. The resulting speaker systems are much lighter, making them easy to transport and set up.

Custom-Designed Transducers

The transducers (woofers and tweeters) are the only part of a sound system you actually hear, so we don't cut any corners. We custom-design and built their transducers from scratch. Not only do we wind their own voice coils, we process the paper pulp into cones and even machine their own backplates. This enables them to control the quality, and frankly, make better components.

Take Control

The B1800D PRO features balanced XLR inputs and outputs, as well as balanced XLR THRU jacks for connecting additional enclosures. A Boost Frequency knob targets a boost frequency between 45 Hz and 90 Hz. Flick the Boost switch to give your selected frequency a +6 dB boost. These subs also feature a HIGH CUT dial to control the upper corner frequency for the subwoofer's amplifier. The High Cut dial does not affect the THRU signals, only signals directed to the subwoofer (however, it does affect the signals sent out through the Output sockets of the subwoofer to reach the full-range speakers). A Level knob controls the input gain, and the PHASE switch reverses output phase to compensate for frequency cancellation between the subwoofer and satellite speakers. LEDs show operational status at a glance, including power, signal present and input overloads.

Which Speaker Do I Need?

As you have probably noticed, we make these subwoofers in two different woofer sizes. Which one is right for you? An 18-inch woofer has more surface area with which to move air than a 15-inch. If you're engineering sound for a small jazz combo in a small club, the B1500D PRO might be all the speaker you need. If you need to provide pounding techno sounds to a standing room only nightclub, the B1800D PRO might be the better choice.

Value

Plenty of power, light weight, amazing sound, tough durability and affordability-- with the B1800D PRO you get it all.

I expect to be very satisfied with the B1800D for its lifetime.
Sound
I just got the Behringer B1800D this morning and have already hooked it into my system. I sounds solid and has very good tone quality and projection. I would compare its sound and solid build to QSC's 181i's. For the price I couldn't ask for anything better.
Features
With its low cut dial it's easy to get the sound I want from my system. I haven't played with the phase dial yet so I can't say anything about that but I love the frequency boost. Even at low volume you can still get the lows up to a point where it is easily heard and felt.
Ease of Use
The B1800D is just as, if not the easiest sub I have worked with so far.
Quality
Honestly I expected the B1800D to have a less quality sound with its ABS cabinet vs. the solid wood cabinets of the QSC 181i's but I can hardly tell the difference. It looks good and the packaging was done well. It came out of a somewhat battered box in perfect condition.
Value
For the price vs. other top manufacturers, I'd have to say this is the best for subwoofer the money.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't needed any support yet but I expect it will be at least satifactory.
The Wow Factor
This sub is very atractive and would look very nice in any setting.
