The EAW SB120zP-WP White is a high-performance, 450W passive subwoofer designed for permanent installation in a variety of professional environments. As part of EAW's premium SB series, this subwoofer is engineered to deliver exceptional sound quality and powerful bass reproduction in a compact form factor, making it ideal for spaces where space is at a premium but low-frequency impact is still desired. With its 12-inch driver and optimally tuned, vented enclosure, the SB120zP-WP White offers deep, clean bass for A/V systems, classrooms, meeting rooms, exhibit areas, TV studios, restaurants, and more. The white finish makes it particularly well-suited for environments where aesthetics and discreet installation are important.

The SB120zP-WP White features a direct radiating design with a 12-inch cone driver, offering high output and low-frequency extension while maintaining exceptional sound clarity. The compact design allows the subwoofer to fit into environments where larger subwoofers would be impractical. With an operating range of 44 Hz to 152 Hz, the SB120zP-WP White delivers accurate and extended bass response across a broad spectrum. The single-amp LF configuration and DSP with a 1-way filter ensure the subwoofer performs with optimal efficiency and sound quality, making it a versatile solution for a variety of professional audio applications.

One of the standout features of the SB120zP-WP White is its 360-degree coverage, providing even bass distribution across the entire space. Whether the application is a small retail shop, a cruise ship, or a corporate meeting room, the subwoofer delivers consistent low-frequency response to all areas of the room, preventing "dead zones" where bass might otherwise be lacking. The subwoofer's nominal beamwidth of 360° horizontally and vertically ensures that bass is evenly distributed throughout the venue, enhancing the overall sound experience.

The SB120zP-WP White is designed to integrate seamlessly with full-range loudspeakers in A/V systems, providing low-end reinforcement for clearer and more dynamic sound. It works best when paired with modern digital signal processing (DSP), and EAW recommends using MX Series processors for optimal crossover and equalization settings. This allows users to fully optimize the low-frequency response of the system to meet the needs of their specific space and application, ensuring the best possible performance from the subwoofer.

In terms of performance, the SB120zP-WP White provides impressive SPL levels, with an average SPL of 119 dB in whole space and 125 dB in half space, ensuring it can fill mid-sized rooms with powerful, punchy bass. Its peak SPL of 125 dB in whole space and 131 dB in half space makes it suitable for high-energy environments where deep bass is essential. The subwoofer's 8-ohm nominal impedance ensures compatibility with most amplifier systems, while the high-pass filter at 40 Hz (12 dB/octave Butterworth) helps to protect the speaker from low-end overload.

The enclosure is constructed from durable Baltic birch plywood, providing structural strength and reducing unwanted resonance. The SB120zP-WP White is finished with a wear-resistant textured white paint, allowing it to blend into any environment while maintaining its robust build quality. A vinyl-coated perforated steel grille protects the driver, ensuring longevity and performance even in demanding installations. The subwoofer's compact dimensions (22.5 x 14.75 x 11.75 inches) and relatively light weight of 47 lbs make it easy to install in a wide variety of spaces, while still providing the output and reliability expected from EAW's premium subwoofers.
