The EAW SB120zP-WP Black is a 450W, 12-inch passive subwoofer designed for permanent installation in demanding professional environments. As part of EAW’s premium SB series, this subwoofer is engineered for high output and exceptional sonic performance, making it an ideal solution for A/V systems, meeting rooms, classrooms, exhibit areas, and other multimedia installations. With its compact size and powerful 12-inch driver, the SB120zP-WP Black offers deep bass and impact in spaces where floor space is limited but powerful low-frequency response is still required. The subwoofer is IP56-rated, ensuring it can withstand exposure to dust and water, making it suitable for use in a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.

The SB120zP-WP Black features a direct radiating design with an optimally tuned, vented enclosure that delivers exceptional bass output while minimizing low-frequency turbulence. The 12-inch cone driver, coupled with a single-amp LF configuration, provides robust, clear bass across its operating range of 44 Hz to 152 Hz. This subwoofer is engineered for use with full-range loudspeakers in A/V systems, providing the necessary low-end reinforcement for a complete sound experience. With a nominal beamwidth of 360 horizontally and vertically, the SB120zP-WP Black ensures even coverage, delivering consistent sound across the entire space. Its wide coverage makes it ideal for larger areas such as exhibit halls, auditoriums, and retail spaces where uniform bass response is required.

Designed to work seamlessly with modern digital signal processing (DSP) systems, the SB120zP-WP Black can be paired with EAW’s MX Series processors to handle crossover and equalization, optimizing the low-frequency response. The DSP, with its 1-way filter, ensures that the subwoofer delivers optimal performance at all output levels. With a calculated peak SPL of 131 dB in half-space and an average SPL of 125 dB, the SB120zP-WP Black is capable of providing powerful, deep bass that fills large spaces, making it an excellent choice for applications that demand high-impact sound reproduction.

The SB120zP-WP Black’s enclosure is constructed from durable Baltic birch plywood, providing strength and resonance control for reliable long-term performance. The subwoofer is finished with a wear-resistant textured black paint, which not only enhances its durability but also gives it a professional appearance that blends seamlessly into a variety of environments. A vinyl-coated perforated steel grille protects the driver while allowing for optimal sound dispersion. With its compact dimensions (22.5 x 14.75 x 11.75 inches) and a weight of 47 lbs, the SB120zP-WP Black is both portable and rugged, designed to handle the rigors of permanent installations in commercial, professional, and industrial spaces.
