The B18 response curve: smooth and even low frequency response. The B18’s driver is 82dBSPL at 80hz. At that point, function transfers over to the passive radiator.  The passive radiator begins to function well at 85hz with a dBSPL of 83, and maintains excellent response for the B18’s 0.85 ft. cu cabinet size, being 65dBSPL at a low B’s 32hz. At the top end, the driver is 94 dBSPL at 2,800hz and still functioning well at 4,000hz with a dBSPL of 84hz. To be clear, the B18 does not have low end dBSPL numbers as high as some larger cabinets, yet is quite efficient for its dimensions.  Regardless, above 4,000hz the drivers response drops off quite fast.  So for those who want higher highs and transients a model such as the M18, having a tweeter along with optional Kappalite 3010FL, could be the ticket. The tweeter has its crossover set at 2,500hz, and functions up to 20K, beyond human hearing.
