MSE-118 - Large format low frequency loudspeaker

Description
Quake is a powerful horn-loaded subwoofer, designed for a variety of uses ranging from large-scale live FOH and sidefills through theatre, corporate and A/V work to the world's most demanding nightclub environments.

Why choose Quake?
Quake was designed to be the ultimate touring subwoofer - a no-compromise approach matching the utmost in drive unit performance, with tireless research into the development of horn technology. The result is truly awesome - a product which is one of the finest subwoofers on the market today. The flexibility of the enclosure allows Quake to be used in any application requiring powerful, effortless low frequency reproduction - and with any type of mid/high enclosure.

Superior by design
Quake's substantial enclosure houses a single proprietary 18" (457mm) drive unit with a 5" (127mm) voice coil. This drive unit is built around an 11" ceramic magnet and dual-suspension system. This allows the drive unit to remain in pure-piston motion even at extreme power levels, meaning Quake provides precise and clear subbass information. The drive unit is loaded onto a horn approaching 9' (2743mm) in length, making it one of the longest horns commercially available for an 18" driver. Quake can therefore reproduce information with the superior transient response of a horn but with effortless depth - even when used as a single unit.

Construction
The rugged enclosure is constructed from CNC-machined 18mm (3/4") multi-laminate Finnish birch plywood, rebated, screwed and glued together for maximum strength. The enclosure is finished in black semi-matt textured paint, however other colours are available on request. An expanded steel mesh grille coated with acoustically transparent black foam protects Quake from moisture and debris incursion.

Standard features and rigging
Standard enclosure fittings include eight steel bar handles and tour grade castors. A recessed removable connector panel on the rear of the enclosure houses two EP4 connectors for input and enclosure link, however a variety of different connection options including Neutrik Speakon™ and XLR are available. Quake is at home in any application - from the busiest nightclub to the largest stadium, from drum & bass to heavy rock - and with either line array or point source systems.
