Cerwin VEGA-18
Little is documented about the Cerwin VEGA-18. The record shows a large-format speaker system built around an 18-inch driver, intended for professional or serious home use. The only known period reference is Recording Engineer (April 1983, p.49). It gave the subwoofer enclosure as 54 inches wide by 53 inches high by 30 inches deep, enclosing a 37.5 cubic foot volume. That is a big cabinet, and it reads as a purpose-built low-frequency unit rather than a general-purpose full-range speaker.
Beyond that single source, nothing has surfaced on production years, original price, power handling, sensitivity, crossover details or driver specifications. It may have been a custom installation piece, a short-run professional product or a prototype. The record is too thin to say with confidence.
If you own a VEGA-18 or have documentation (a brochure, a spec sheet, a service manual), the Archive would welcome a scan or photograph to fill in this near-blank page.
