Pumping 500 watts through an 18" speaker, the JBL EON 518S provides ample low-end extension with all the reliability and quality of the EON line. Weighing in at a modest 65 lbs (29.5 kg), the 518S is a truly portable solution for mobile DJs, touring bands, and anyone else looking to expand their sound with a healthy dose of bass thump. The rear console is full of intuitive features for easy control and seamless integration into any system. Constructed and tested with the same rigor JBL brings to every product, the EON 518S is a sub you can trust to get the job done.

While most subs in this power range are geared towards installation, the ergonomic handles and manageable weight of the EON 518S means real portability. The compact casing is built to last with the same composite construction as the rest of the EON family and coated with JBL's rugged DuraFlex finish. At 500 watts continuous and 1000 watts peak, the EON 518S has the power you need to fill any venue, and the two XLR ins and outs and a high pass filter switch make set-up as easy as connecting your mixer and routing to your mains. With a speaker level input added for increased inputting options, the EON 518S is as versatile as it is banging.

The system uses an efficient Class D amplifier and JBL's patented neodymium magnet LF Differential Drive for low distortion and an extremely favorable weight to power ratio. Clear and precise bass tones are never muddied, and with a frequency range of 36 Hz - 130 Hz, even the lowest lows burst through clean and unhindered. Whether combining with other EON's for an efficient and portable PA, or integrating into a more stationary set-up, the JBL EON 518S is a sub you can trust to add that low-end kick to any system.

Features:

- 500 watts of precise bass power.
- True portability at 65 lbs (29.5kg).
- Compact and rugged enclosure for long lasting and reliable performance.
- Loop-through outputs for easy daisy-chaining and connectivity.

Like the rest of the EON family, the 518S is designed and built with the gigging performer in mind. With enough power to satisfy the most ravenous of bass cravers, and sturdy enough to withstand the abuse of the road, the EON 518S is an outstanding choice for gigging musicians and mobile DJs. Easy to setup and easy to move, the EON 518S offers a great solution for users tired of sacrificing real bass tone in their portable sound rigs. zZounds is an authorized dealer of JBL products.
