The legendary SB1000zR is a high output, large-format
subwoofer system with proven performance in complementing
high efficiency, full-range loudspeakers. It is designed for
portable use where the fatter-sounding output of dual 18 inch
drivers is desired. The SB1000zR's driver mounting maximizes
cone area and minimizes frontal area, providing the acoustical
performance and physical configuration well suited for creating
large subwoofer arrays. Its applications include: concert touring,
arenas, band/club PA, large houses of worship, large
auditoriums/theaters, stage/performer monitoring, drum fill
monitoring, and large dance clubs.
