Yorkville LS1208 18-inch Passive Subwoofer - 2000 Watts
The Yorkville LS1208 "basspipe" subwoofer system. The "basspipe" is a multiple flare horn connected to an organ-like pipe, slowly flaring to the mouth. The bandwidth is narrowed and optimized to a specific range in the lower registers. Outdoor measurements show very smooth, high output in the 35Hz to 200Hz range. This is the highest efficiency we have ever seen for a single 18" driver enclosure, especially with a gross volume of only 22 cubic feet. In addition, a significant gain is achieved when using two units side by side as the mouth nears maximum acoustic load.
Additional research has developed a woofer with significantly higher power handling than any other speaker we currently use, making the LS1208 one of the highest-output subwoofers available. Performance, packaging, and overall value make the LS1208 a benchmark.
Suitable for touring or fixed installations, the 15mm 11-ply Baltic Birch cabinets are constructed with heavy internal bracing for reduced resonance and better durability. The enclosure is covered in a black carpet and incorporates metal corner protectors, rugged curved anti-resonant metal grilles, and 1/4" or Speakon input connectors. An optional finish of black ultrathin paint (LS1208B) is also available. Additionally, the Speakon connectors feature a configuration switch that allows instant reversal of Speakon jack pinouts for easy single-wire hook-up using optional four-wire Speakon cables. The LS1208 includes tilt-back wheels and top/rear-mounted corner handles for better maneuverability and stacking.
