EKX-18SP features high-efficiency Class-D power

amplifiers (up to 1300 W) with integrated

QuickSmartDSP, and delivers up to 134 dB SPL

utilizing high-sensitivity transducers designed and

engineered by EV (18-inch EVS-18C subwoofer).

The EKX amplifier incorporates intelligent thermal

management (with a variable-speed fan controlled by

multiple onboard sensors) which ensures superior

performance and reliability in demanding

environmental conditions.

Powered subwoofer models allow easy setup via three

(3) presets (Music, Live, Club), sub/top

system-match crossovers, five (5) user-programmable

presets (Store and Recall settings), visual monitoring

of limiter status, input level meters, and master

volume control to ensure optimal gain structure.

Adapted from our touring systems, EV’s exclusive

Cardioid Control Technology allows output to be

steered towards the audience with up to 35 dB

reduction on stage when multiple subs are deployed.

EKX powered models are ideal for portable and

installed applications, with lightweight and compact

15-mm wood enclosures with internal bracing, durable

EVCoat finish, aluminum pole-mounts, and all-metal

handles.
