SB1001 subwoofer

The successor to EAW’s SB1000, the SB1001 large-format, dual-18-inch subwoofer is essentially an SB1002 large-format flyable subwoofer without the rigging hardware.

The SB1001 is well suited to a range of non-flying applications (with optional rigging hardware available), including concert touring, arenas, houses of worship, auditoria/theatres, stage/drum fill monitoring and large dance clubs. While the dimensions of the SB1001’s vented enclosure and the fundamental acoustical philosophy remain true to the SB1000, the core components are significantly enhanced to include larger voice coils, 20 per cent higher BI and all neodymium magnets. The result is a lighter-weight reference standard that has greater impact, power handling and output capabilities than its celebrated predecessor.

The driver mounting of the SB1001 maximises cone area and allows integration of an extremely low-turbulence port while minimising front area, providing the acoustical performance and physical configuration well suited for creating large subwoofer arrays. Two 18-inch drivers use 4.5-inch voice coils, as well as powerful neodymium magnet structures that also reduce weight. The operating frequency range of the SB1001 is 27Hz to 161Hz (± 3dB).  Maximum sound pressure levels are 129dB (average) and 135dB (peak).

Dual Neutrik Speakon NL4 connectors are positioned on a rear-mounted section of the cabinet angled inward at approximately 45°, allowing the SB1001 to be positioned flush against walls in a groundstack configuration. Additionally, the SB1001 can be permanently suspended, and is ready to receive the user-installable quick release rigging kit accessory for touring applications. The rugged grille protecting the drivers matches that of the KF760 Series, while the cabinet is finished in a durable, wear-resistant textured black paint.

To optimise LF response, the SB1001 subwoofer is designed for use with EAW’s critically acclaimed UX8800 dual-mode digital processor featuring revolutionary EAW Focusing Technology. Processor settings for EAW’s UX8800 digital signal processor are available for download from the company’s website.
