Dual 18” hornloaded pulse compensated subwoofer / 2.000W (RMS)
In the world of subwoofers, professionals usually talk about maximum sound pressure, power capability of the components and frequency range. The NOVA E218SUB satisfies all these factors with top values. With a maximum sound pressure level of not less than 140 dB the E218SUB is setting new standards. The technical basis consists of two heavy-duty 18" transducers, each with a impressive 4" voice coil. When developing the E218SUB, the NOVA research and development team was working as a pioneer on another highlight, which only a few other manufacturers have talked about.
The dynamic range of music is defined as the difference between the loudest and the quietest tone. The larger the range between the loudest and the quietest tone, the more levels of volume can be detected and enjoyed much better by the listeners. The higher the extent of the dynamic range, the closer a band or orchestra sounds to the original. A full orchestra for example, has a dynamic extent of up to 70 dB. The E218SUB has a significant higher dynamic transmission, which leads to an increased detection of different volumes.
► Very high sound pressure (140 dB)
► Ultra-compact format
► Light weight (61.5 kg only)
► Two heavy-duty 18-" transducers (4" voice coil)
► Extremely high dynamic range
► Pulse compensated construction
► Highly precise bass reproduction
E218SUB - the dynamics Maximizer.
A true dynamics wonder, which lets you enjoy the music much more.

NIC | NOVA Pulse Compensation.
The complete new and innovative NIC (NOVA Pulse Compensation) technology is based on a further development of a horn in combination with a four-chamber rear ventilation. The thus boosted subwoofer signal is divided into two parts. The higher frequency part is guided to the horn construction at the centre of the E218SUB. The lower frequency part is guided to the four-chamber rear ventilation. Both tuning frequencies are optimally adapted to each other. The achieved very high transient response results in a very precise bass reproduction with an immense dynamic range. The homogeneous dispensation of the higher and lower frequency range leads to a significant reduction of housing vibration.
A further advantage of the hybrid NIC (NOVA pulse compensation) technology is a dramatic increase in sound pressure to a maximum value of 140 dB. If two or more E218SUBs operate in stacked applications above the other, the functionality of the horn increases even significantly more.
