Peavey

PVs 18 Vented Powered Bass Subwoofer

$949.99

Bring added depth and punch to your sound system with the Peavey PVs 18 powered subwoofer. A heavy-duty 18-inch woofer and DSP-controlled amplifier with 1,000 watts of peak available power deliver low-frequency reinforcement for live sound, DJ sets, karaoke, and music playback.

An adjustable 90–180 Hz crossover helps match the subwoofer to your full-range speakers, while two high-pass XLR outputs route the upper frequencies to your satellite system, reducing its deep-bass workload. A full-range XLR thru output makes it easy to connect another subwoofer or line-level device. Switchable Bass Enhance adds extra impact for bass-heavy material, and onboard DSP manages crossover processing, EQ, compression, and limiting.

Built for setup and transport, the PVs 18 features a protective steel grille, sturdy steel handles, and heavy-duty locking casters. An included threaded speaker pole supports a compatible satellite speaker above the subwoofer for a streamlined system layout.
