SPECIFICATIONS

Can a loudspeaker actually heighten your sense of creativity and
accomplishment
? Can your thirst for high performance sound – and your
need for outstanding value – ever find a home together? Will your next
speakers have a real titanium compression driver and the enormous
advantages of a real plywood enclosure? With one glimpse, will they
remind you of something extremely familiar and, at the same time, some-
thing you’ve never seen before? Will your next speakers look, sound and
feel as good a year from now as they do the day you buy them? Can all
of these things ever find their way into just one line of speakers?
They have in CERWIN-VEGA’S INTENSE.
DJS, BANDS AND MUSICIANS
Is anyone building the speaker that
are truly asking for?
Cast Aluminum Frame For Strength And Durability
The Model 118S features an 18-inch transducer with a cast
aluminum frame designed to support the system's huge
magnet structure/voice coil architecture, plus the high
power handling requirements typically encountered in live
sound reinforcement applications. This frame creates a more
reliable, robust subwoofer system designed to withstand
abuse.
Built For The Road
Designed to withstand the rigors of the road, all enclosures
feature heavily braced, 18mm, plywood construction;
abrasion-resistant, low pilling black carpet and VegaGripTM
handles for easy transport. Bottom line… the Intense Series
loudspeakers sound great, look great, and are designed to
stay that way.
34mm HF Compression Driver
The 34mm titanium High Frequency compression drivers
found in the Intense Series 152 and 252 benefit from an
optimized dome geometryand phase plug design that
combine to eliminate phase distortion. Coupled with the
HighRoad horn's carefully crafted throat contour, the result is
controlled directivity [moreaccurately focused sound] and
smooth response.
ABig, Clean HornWhen You Need It!
With its 34mm titanium High Frequency compression driver,
our HighRoad horn features a larger diaphragm than the
competition. You get higher SPL with lower distortion, and
since the crossover in the 152/252 runs at lower frequencies,
you'll hear improved off-axis response and increased
mid-range vocal intelligibility.
OF ANY SPEAKERS IN THEIR CLASS
SURE, THEY’LL PLAY REALLY LOUD, BUT INTENSE ALSO HAS
THE CLEANEST SOUND
The Intense Series loudspeakers deliver performance you
demand at a price you don’t expect. The model 152 and 252
enclosures, paired with the 118S cast frame subwoofer, are
tailor-made for gigging musicians, mobile DJs, and other
portable sound reinforcement applications. The Intense
Series loudspeakers re-define value driven
performance.

While the thrill of performing with your Intense speakers is why you’ll buy them,
their reliability and customer support is why you’ll like living with them, too.
