The ALTEA-718 is powerful subwoofer system designed to provide extended bass response for the ALTEA full-range cabinets. At the heart of the system is a DAS 18FW bass loudspeaker. This loudspeaker incorporates a FEM optimized high-efficiency speaker design and an extended 3″ voice coil for long excursion. Cooling is assured thanks to the 18FW´s vented pole piece and abundant apertures in the speaker´s back plate keeping power compression to a minimum while providing high acoustic output over extended periods.
The compact Birch plywood cabinet is protected with a tough ISO-flex outer coating for long years of use in portable systems.
