NAMM Show Update: Tapco introduced a new loudspeaker sub, the TAPCO THUMP TH-18s Active Subwoofer.

Housed in a rugged, ported bass-reflex enclosure and featuring an 500-watt Class-D amplifier design, the TH-18s provides amazingly accurate low-end response—from 35Hz-125Hz. The high-current switching power supply means it’s ready for worldwide use, and it’s lightweight, so musicians won’t break their back on their travels.

“The TH-18s is the perfect complement to the highly demanded TH-15A loudspeaker,” says Mackie product manager, Gilbert Perales. “Their sophisticated circuitry and durable construction makes this pair the most powerful—and portable—active live sound reinforcement system in their class. Together you have a complete—and completely affordable—”plug-and-play” active system perfect for a band, small club or DJ setup.”

The TAPCO THUMP TH-18s includes stereo I/O and pass thru for flexible connectivity as well as stereo High Pass output (120Hz). The sub also features a Polarity switch, Rear Clip LED and comes with a standard pole mount for the TH-15A.

The TAPCO THUMP TH-18s will be available domestically and internationally in Q2 2008 and have an MSRP of $699.99.
