Low frequency system - front loaded horn design – passive
Designed to extend the low frequency range of near to medium throw mid-high frequency systems at high sound pressure levels.
Applications
The LF H1018 finds its application in systems for:
distributed sound reproduction: medium to large clubs and dance halls, sport venues and stadiums
sound reinforcement: medium concerts, musicals, operas, circuses, large music bars and houses of worships

Description
The LF H1018 is the most compact member of the horn loaded low frequency systems. This system is designed to extend the low frequency range of short to medium throw mid-high frequency loudspeaker systems. This system is based on an 18 inch transducer with a 100 mm voice coil integrated in a sealed enclosure and coupled to a bended horn. The horn is inferred from a snail-shell. The mouth opening covering the complete front of the cabinet assures a low cut-off frequency. The enforced enclosure is manufactured with 18-36 mm Finnish birch plywood glued together in conjunction with dado joints to assure the highest quality of robustness. The black textured semi-matt paint makes the enclosure water repellent. The horn is protected by an aluminium grid with octagonal holes, designed for maximal strength and acoustical transparency. The removable foam attached to the grid protects the system from splash water and dust. Two Speakon® male connectors assure reliable electrical connections and the possibility to feed the signal through the system. The flush embedded top hat on the top side of the cabinet can be used to mount a tripod for mid-high frequency loudspeakers. Two large recessed steel bar handles and wheels mounted on the rear panel assure comfortable carriage. The system is optionally available for fix installations without wheels, mounting top hat and handles.
