On Point Audio Debuts Powerful Subwoofer Systems at NAMM 2011
Nashville, TN USA – December 1, 2010 - On Point Audio, Inc., an innovative designer and builder of premium-grade, live-sound professional loudspeaker systems, unveils the OPA-118 Sub and OPA-218 Sub during its U.S. debut at NAMM 2011 in booth # 1664 from January 13th through January 16th, 2011 in Anaheim, CA.
The 3,200 watt OPA-118 Sub and 6,400 watt OPA-218 Sub are unique subwoofers. Both models feature On Point Audio's custom-designed NP18N cast frame 18-inch woofer, which employ the brand's proprietary Single-Side voice coil. The Single-Side voice coil greatly enhances the woofer's heat dissipation capability, thereby improving reliability and minimizing power compression. The Single-Side voice coil also eliminates voice coil rubs as a potential performance problem.
In order to preserve the slim "narrow-profile" look of On Point Audio's full-range models, both woofer systems use angled baffle boards that enable the enclosures to be made much slimmer than other competitive single and dual 18-inch models. Although the sub's enclosures are short and slim, their deep enclosure geometry and large slotted vents deliver deep, powerful bass response to < 30 Hz with high sensitivity and impressive transient response. The sub's projection capabilities are particularly noteworthy too.

Both models are equipped with rear-mounted heavy-duty casters and have strategically placed handles to make them easy to move. These subs also include speaker mounting poles for elevating full-range speakers.
The OPA-118 Sub and OPA-218 Sub enclosures are built of heavily braced 13-ply, 18 mm marine-grade birch plywood that ensures loss-free bass propagation. The enclosures are covered with On Point Audio's PowerCoatTM finish that is wear- resistant, impervious to water, moisture and looks stunning. Their heavy-gauge steel grilles ensure complete protection for the drivers.
On Point Audio's OPA-118 Sub, OPA-218 Sub and its lineup of passive and active speaker systems make it easy for musicians, audio engineers and sound system designers to fill performance spaces with beautifully detailed sound including bone- rattling bass.
