JBL PRX918XLF 18" Powered Subwoofer

The PRX918XLF subwoofer, part of the JBL PRX900 Series powered loudspeakers and subwoofers, takes professional portable PA performance to a new level with advanced acoustics, comprehensive DSP, unrivaled power performance and durability and complete BLE control via the JBL Pro Connect app. 

This 18-inch powered subwoofer is built from the ground up to leverage JBL’s most advanced acoustic innovations. A next-generation driver—powered by an ultra-efficient Class D amplifier—delivers clear, defined bass with smooth low-frequency extension at maximum volume.

The PRX918XLF’s class-leading DSP package, accessible via onboard LCD or the JBL Pro Connect app, includes 6-band parametric EQ for system tuning and nuanced tonal control, plus a lowpass filter and 20ms delay.

The JBL Pro Connect app provides complete hardware and DSP control of up to 10 speakers; integrate with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE and EON700 systems, and access app-only functions including speaker snapshots and grouping.

The PRX918XLF is designed to withstand the rigors of the road, and is enclosed in an 18mm birch cabinet with optimized bracing for smooth low-frequency response and improved durability. Like with every JBL product, everything is reinforced by industry-leading test and validation protocols and backed by a seven-year warranty. 

The PRX900 Series is a versatile solution for DJs and bands, music venues, rental houses, corporate A/V providers, or anyone who needs durable professional systems that deliver powerful, room-filling sound in any portable or installed scenario.
 

FEATURES:

All-New Acoustic Designs
From cone to cabinet, the PRX918XLF is designed for advanced acoustic performance. A next-generation 918SG woofer with ferrite magnet delivers smooth, natural bass response, and an FEA flared port design reduces air noise and distortion. It all adds up to clean, accurate, powerful sound at any volume. 

Power that Performs for You
PRX900 systems effortlessly support large performance spaces with high power and performance needs. Driven by highly efficient 2,000W (peak) Class D power amps, the PRX918XLF delivers bass with clarity and definition at maximum volume. High-quality, high-linearity inductors deliver high power efficiency and low total harmonic distortion, and low-noise, low-distortion input gain staging optimizes range and headroom for a diverse gain requirements. High-quality DACs and ADCs provide near-lossless audio conversion. And with a full-bandwidth CMRR (Common Mode Rejection Ratio) greater than 55 dB and THD (total harmonic distortion) rating of <32 dB, system noise is virtually nonexistent.

Dial In Your Sound With Class-Leading DSP
The PRX918XLF’s class-leading DSP package, accessible via onboard LCD or the JBL Pro Connect app, includes 6-band parametric EQ for system tuning and nuanced tonal control, plus lowpass filter and 20ms delay.

Versatile and Scalable
Combine PRX900 Series loudspeakers and subwoofers in a range of configurations to meet the needs of both mobile scenarios and fixed installs. Subwoofers feature M20 pole cups. 

Part of the Pro Connect Ecosystem
The JBL Pro Connect app offers BLE functionality for system control of up to 10 speakers and line integration with JBL EON ONE MK2, PRX ONE, and EON700 loudspeakers. Access full DSP functions anywhere right from the app, including app-only features like speaker snapshots and  groupings.

Rugged and Road-Worthy
PRX900 components are housed in strong, lightweight cabinets that maximize both acoustic performance and durability. The PRX918XLF enclosure is built from 18mm birch, with optimized bracing that smooths out low-frequency response. A Duraflex coating provides superior durability.

In It for the Long Haul
Like every JBL product, the PRX915 undergoes an industry-leading 100-hour stress test of all components to ensure systems perform beyond expectations in real-world scenarios. It’s so reliable that it’s backed with an unprecedented seven-year warranty.
