Product Description

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.
- 36 mm mount socket for sub/satellite mounting with mains.
- Ergonomic handles designed for easy lifting.
- High pass filter and polarity select switches to integrate into your system.
- XLR (2x) and 1/4” speaker line inputs for versatile set-up options.
- Low -frequency Differential Drive driver with neodymium magnet for low-distortion and light weight.

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.

Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (23 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Lil Sexy Thumper"
Sound: The sucker puts out the deep lows you're looking for in a Sub, and tons of it. Drawback is it could be louder, when I pushed it to around where I wanted it, the red clip light started coming on. Feature: Pretty straight forward, it's a self powered sub. It does allow to input from an amped speaker and have a high pass filter on the XLR outputs, and the JBL logo lights up on the front. Ease of Use: You plug it in, it works =) Quality: This sucker is easily the lightest sub I have ever used (smallest 18 I have ever seen too), and it packs a wallop for how little it is, bass comes clear and precise; I kid you not I used it at a bowling alley, building was made of brick and it made the metal onning outside shake. Value: Its a great subwoofer, truly a great addition to any collection that's in need of bass. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to use it yet for this product, just got it. The Wow Factor: Easily the sexist subwoofer I have seen =)~ Overall: This is a great Subwoofer for anyone who is once again looking to add some punch to their sound system. Sound quality, weight, looks, and convenience of the product are amazing: top notch; my only drawback is you could probably find something louder for around the same price, but easily at the expense of the above features. If sheer volume is key, and all else does not matter, this might not be for you, if your looking for an easy to use, deep, clean, sexy, and ultra portable sub, look no farther!

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "JBL EON 518S Powered Subwoofer"
Overall: I already owned a pair of JBL EON 515s when I decided to add some more low end to their sound. The EON 518S came as a natural choice. I bought 2 of them and I used the system on a New Years Eve party in a large event hall. The 2 subwoofer with the 2 speakers produced clear and loud sound. There was a significant bass presence! These subwoofers are lightweight, practical and efficient.
