[Black] I bought this subwoofer to enhance my current JBL 305P MkII speakers. The sound produced is sweet. Deep, round bass and powerful to boot. Quite satisfied with my purchase at sale price.

[Black] It's a big one but paired with the 305s it works nicely. Placement is really important. Happy I waited for it to come on sale.

[Black] I bought this subwoofer from B&H on sale for $300 when originally its $500. I did research on it and when I used it, it works exactly as advertised. I am satisfied with this product and the way B&H works. No issue at all and use this subwoofer in all my sessions from recording vocals to making beats.

[10 lb] Monitors by itself are good enough for small rooms, but if you have a bigger room, a sub is a must. It fills out the bottom frequencies and nicely rounds up the sound. Perfect for a 2.1 home cinema setup. Best matching seems to be with JBL LSR 305. If you have 308, the bass might become overpowering.

[10 lb] Good padding and seems to be good enough toy protect the sub when moving it around. Not worth $100 but it is what it is. Better than nothing.

[Black] It took me a few minutes to dial in the JBL, but once I figured that out it sounds smooth and complimented my setup perfectly. I'm not sure why anyone in a studio setting would want to use anything but the 80hz crossover. It had PLENTY of power, in fact, it's set to about 40 percent power to balance out with my studio monitors. Folks that say it doesn't have enough power need to turn down the gain of their monitors.

The whole idea of a studio sub is not to blow you away (which this can certainly do) but rather to compliment (extend the frequency range of) the monitors. It does this very well. If you don't use this balance, your mixes will not be accurate may result in them being low-frequency deprived.

I can easily switch between sub + crossovered monitors to monitors with no crossover with my Mackie 1642VLZ4 mixer. I just use a subgroup output to isolate my monitors without the sub. What makes this possible is that the HS8 monitors have 2 inputs, so your miles may vary.

When dialing your sub in, remember that less is more. I've found this to be true in just about every facet of life.

Happy Mixing.

[Black] Unpacked and connected, didn't have to adjust anything. Plugged my studio monitors to the outputs of the sub, then monitoring system out to the sub inputs, hit play and go. Sub has a higher wattage than most, higher price, but I waited until it was on sale. I did consider other active subwoofers, but this one has a larger woofer, and flexible in's and out's, and is tuned to match my JBL 5" studio nearfields. Great item!!

[Black] Perfect size to protect my investment! Easy to use

[Black] Glad & very, very happy with this JBL 218s & it's Performance. I'm from the Islands T&T & playing my type & others of course, jus can't go wrong. You get the Ultimate Lows that you would expect from this JBL 18. Unit is all Black & Attractive. Ty B&H for directing me to get this Subwoofer. Plays with two JRX 225, also from B&H.. Best Sound System..

[10 lb] Bought this for my small home music studio and I couldn’t be happier. I went from an 8” sub that at the time I felt did the job to this beast and there’s no comparison, It’s night and day. I also use my set up for everyday music listening and it’s made that even more enjoyable. This sub is huge! Much larger then I anticipated. It hits really hard for hip hop BUT I’m someone who loves bass in classic rock and I love how this sub compliments rock music. I can’t compare it to pricier subs since I’ve never been in a position to hear one but what I can say is that this one for its price is worth every penny. Very impressed.
