The P Audio P180/2242 is a high output low frequency transducer designed
with a vintage voicing. The P180/2242 is an upgraded design that features
many of P Audio's new technologies and performance upgrades. The 18
inch (457mm) diameter piston will produce extremely high sound pressure
levels at very low frequencies and is ideal for high level deep bass and sub
woofer response in both live sound and recorded music venues. The
transducer uses high energy ferrite magnetics to achieve a very high
acoustic output to weight ratio.

The P180/2242 employs a large 3.9 inch (99.3mm) diameter voice coil and
has been upgraded to an AES rated 1000 watts of continuous power
handling and a full 4000 watts of peak rated power handling when sufficient
amplifier headroom is available. The P180/2242 utilizes P Audio's Auto
Balanced Cooling (ABC) technology to not only improve transducer power
handling and reliability but to also increase power compression performance
by carefully balancing and directing airflow to critical areas.

The voice coil design is a bobbin wound geometry with P Audio's rectangular
wire technology to improve conversion efficiency and provide a large crosssectional
area for superior cooling.

The transducer employs magnetic flux demodulation devices in the structure
to increase fidelity and sonic accuracy. The system suspension has been
designed specifically for high linear displacement and extended low
frequency response. The double spider design further enhances system
mechanical control and reliability.
