Electro-voice eviva 18sp voor krachtige en diepe bassen de electro-voice eviva 18sp actieve subwoofer vormt het ultieme fundament voor elk professioneel geluidssysteem. De fabrikant rust deze krachtig
€699 sits above the €572 median but well below the €1,138 75th percentile, so this is a slightly ambitious but still broadly market-consistent ask rather than a bargain. It is not cheap enough to be a standout deal, but it is also not in the territory where I’d call it overpriced for a recent used active sub.
The upside here is that an active 18-inch sub from this line should be a practical, club-ready piece: strong low-end output, built-in amplification, and less hassle than assembling a separate amp/sub chain. At this price, it makes most sense if it’s clean, fully working, and ideally comes from careful home or rental use with no limiter, amp, or driver issues.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
# Electro-Voice
Electro-Voice was founded in 1927 by Al Kahn and Lou Burroughs in South Bend, Indiana, initially as Radio Engineers before incorporating under its now-iconic name in 1930. The company's name originated from Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne, who dubbed an early public address system his "electric voice"—a system designed to help him communicate across multiple practice fields. This humble basement startup evolved into a cornerstone of American audio engineering, relocating to Buchanan, Michigan in 1946 to expand its manufacturing and research capabilities.
The brand built its reputation primarily on professional audio equipment, particularly microphones, loudspeakers, and horn drivers. Electro-Voice pioneered numerous innovations including the hum-bucking coil for microphones, the Compound Diffraction Horn, stereo magnetic phono cartridges, and constant-directivity horn technology. From the 1940s through the 1970s, EV stood alongside industry titans like Altec Lansing, JBL, and Klipsch, with systems widely deployed in cinemas, concert halls, and broadcast facilities.
Today, Electro-Voice occupies a unique position straddling professional audio and high-end consumer markets. The brand is respected among both vintage audio collectors and contemporary sound engineers for its engineering rigor, high-efficiency designs, and naturally dynamic sound character. While primarily known for pro audio applications, EV's historical consumer loudspeaker lines and continued innovation maintain its relevance among discerning audiophiles seeking honest, efficient reproduction over marketing-driven aesthetics.
