18” Folded Horn Bass System
In the tradition of Cerwin-Vega’s
philosophy of performance, reli-
ability and value, we are proud
to introduce the next gen-
eration of classic Cerwin-Vega!
Folded-Horn Bass cabinets,
the “After Burner” AB-36, the
“Earthquake” EL-36 and the
“Junior Earthquake” JE-36. This
lineup has been designed for
today’s true bass environment,
Using the latest technology
and 50 years of experience, this
threesome is going to be tough
to beat!
We’ve Re-invented the Wheel!
Why build a sub and not spend a little time thinking about how to move it
around? You don’t need to be a caveman to move these boxes! On the AB-36
and EL-36, the wheels are actually built in to the box for effortless maneuvering
and ease of use. Don’t break your back in order to get bone-crushing sound!
Ergonomic
integrated
handles make
manuvering
child’s play.
Cerwin-Vega’s latest innovation utilizes an incredibly efficient
folded hyperbolic horn design. This enables the enclosure to
contain a longer horn, which amplifies the bass frequencies
while keeping the enclosure compact in size for portability. The
path length and flare rate yields a theoretical cutoff of 30Hz of
bone crushing low-end.
The design of practical, portable bass horns has always chal-
lenged audio designers. This is primarily because low frequency
wavelengths are so large (e.g. 22.5 ft/6.9 m at 50 Hz) that they
require a long
horn. The
challenge to
reduce the
horn’s dimen-
sions without
decreasing its
length results
in a technique
that involves
“folding” the
horn. This
technique
collapses
the physical
dimensions of
the horn with-
out reducing
its length by physically folding the horn within a cabinet.
The Cerwin-Vega! folded horns have been acoustically optimized
to achieve high output and low distortion while maintaining clarity
and impact. Special attention to rear chamber, throat geometry
and horn profile results in a folded horn design that doesn’t
exhibit the typical horn coloration of our competitors horns.
Cerwin-Vega! folded horns, on average, produce 6dB more output
at 1 watt than a dual 18” vented box. This results in four times
the output with half the number of drivers. Purchase costs are
drastically reduced due to the need for fewer cabinets. A smaller
number of cabinets is able to deliver a superior level of clean clear
bass. Powering far fewer cabinets yields large cost savings in
amplification. The net result is loud sub bass that moves enough
air to blow the hairpiece off the competition.
Cerwin-Vega: We’ve been disturbing the peace for 50 years.
For nearly fifty years, Cerwin-Vega! has set the standard for bass-horn technology worldwide, exemplified by the famous L-36PE and
the SL-36 “Portable Earthquake” horns; the most successful and widely imitated bass horns on the market.

Cerwin-Vega! Flagship
Subwoofers
For nearly 50 years when you’ve felt bass you’ve probably been around a Cerwin-Vega! subwoofer. Cerwin-Vega!
literally wrote the book on subwoofer innovations. And now we’ve put all of our technological
experience to the test and developed 3 earth-moving subs. In addition to our other
products, we now offer a subwoofer for every application.
