Massive 18" Woofer for Chest-Thumping Bass

With its compact footprint and choice of pole mount or fly points for deployment, the JRX218S slips easily into any system configuration. It works equally well as a floor monitor, flown array or ground stack subwoofer, ready to deliver chest-thumping low end wherever it's needed. Two parallel 1/4" jacks accept input from a wide range of sources, facilitating simple and flexible setups.
