The EAW SB120zP White is a high-performance, 450W passive 12-inch subwoofer designed for permanent installation in a variety of demanding professional environments. As part of EAW’s premium SB series, the SB120zP White delivers powerful, deep bass in a compact form factor, making it ideal for multimedia systems, A/V setups, and other commercial applications where space is limited, but impactful low-frequency output is required. The subwoofer features a 12-inch cone driver and a vented enclosure, engineered for high output and optimized for low-frequency performance. The white finish of the SB120zP White allows it to blend seamlessly into light-colored environments, making it an excellent choice for installations where aesthetics are important.

The SB120zP White is designed to provide full-range low-frequency response with an operating range from 44 Hz to 152 Hz. This makes it an ideal companion to full-range loudspeakers in A/V systems, meeting rooms, classrooms, exhibit areas, TV studios, restaurants, and small retail spaces. Whether used for sound reinforcement, effect playback, or music reproduction, this versatile subwoofer delivers deep, controlled bass with exceptional clarity. The SB120zP White features a nominal beamwidth of 360 horizontally and vertically, ensuring even coverage and consistent bass distribution throughout the space, which is particularly beneficial in environments with multiple listening areas or large open spaces.

The subwoofer’s advanced acoustical design includes EAW’s direct radiating configuration, featuring an optimally tuned, vented enclosure that helps to reduce low-frequency turbulence and distortion. The single 12-inch cone driver is coupled with DSP processing and a 1-way filter, which ensures that the subwoofer delivers accurate, distortion-free bass even at high output levels. The system is designed to work seamlessly with modern digital signal processing systems, and EAW’s MX Series processors are recommended for optimal crossover and equalization. With this setup, the SB120zP White can be tailored to match specific application requirements, ensuring the best possible performance in every environment.

In terms of performance, the SB120zP White delivers impressive output levels, with a calculated peak SPL of 131 dB in half-space conditions and an average SPL of 125 dB. The system also provides a peak SPL of 125 dB in whole space conditions and an average SPL of 119 dB. With this level of output, the SB120zP White is capable of delivering powerful bass that can fill mid-sized venues and provide clear, punchy low-frequency reinforcement in a variety of environments. The subwoofer’s 8-ohm nominal impedance and its ability to handle 450W of continuous power (450W AES for the driver) ensure reliable and consistent performance over time.

Built for durability and long-lasting performance, the SB120zP White features a Baltic birch plywood enclosure, which offers exceptional strength and resonance control. The enclosure is finished with wear-resistant textured white paint, making it both visually appealing and robust enough to withstand the rigors of permanent installation. The vinyl-coated perforated steel grille protects the driver from physical damage while allowing for optimal sound dispersion. With its compact design (22.5 x 14.75 x 11.75 inches) and a weight of 47 lbs, the SB120zP White is easy to integrate into a variety of spaces without taking up excessive floor space.
