SKU:S-1803
Pre-Order: This product is currently available for pre-order, the estimated shipping date of mid-June, 2026.
Three-Way Audio Design: S-1803 professional powered speaker column PA system adopts a true three-way design, integrating one 18-inch subwoofer, four 5.5-inch neodymium mid-treble, and one 1-inch VC driver. As a high-performance array speaker system, with a maximum power output of up to 3000W, it delivers deep, authoritative bass, focused midrange clarity, and crisp high-frequency detail, ensuring powerful and balanced sound coverage for demanding applications.
RS485 Network Control: In addition to standard XLR input and output, the built-in RS485 network port allows the powered speaker system to be connected to a controller, digital mixer, or central control system. Through this connection, users can easily adjust key settings such as volume levels, EQ, DSP preset modes, and system status across multiple speakers at once. RS485 offers stable and reliable communication over long distances, making system control simpler and more efficient—especially for outdoor events, large venues, and fixed installations using a column array speaker setup.
4 DSP Presets Optimized: Four carefully tuned DSP preset modes allow this column array speaker system to adapt to different outdoor and live sound scenarios. These presets optimize sound dispersion, clarity, and projection, ensuring consistent audio performance in open spaces and complex environments for a professional array speaker system.
Bluetooth Connectivity & TWS Functionality: Built-in bluetooth provides stable wireless audio streaming from mobile devices, while True Wireless Stereo (TWS) technology allows two column array speaker systems to be paired wirelessly for a wider, more immersive stereo soundstage.
Rugged Construction with Premium Materials: Both the column array speaker and subwoofer feature durable steel grilles for enhanced protection, while the subwoofer enclosure is crafted from high-quality birch plywood, ensuring excellent acoustic performance, durability, and long-term reliability in professional powered speaker system use.
Easy Installation & Portable Handling: Designed for quick deployment, this array speaker system supports simple installation and is equipped with convenient side handles for easy lifting and transportation, making it ideal for mobile performances, outdoor events, and touring applications.

First things first, big shoutout to DJ 2Legit and DJ Shorty from Philly! If someone can tag them, please do. I know them from YouTube, but I don’t know their names here on FB.
One day I was watching YouTube and came across a video from DJ 2Legit using the Exoton at a pool party. Then I saw another video from DJ Shorty testing it in a parking lot. I started digging deeper because, honestly, at that price point, I had my doubts.
Over the next few weeks, more videos from DJs started popping up on my feed. After doing my research, I talked it over with my wife, and she told me, “Go for it and give it a try.”
Well, today was my first gig with the Exoton 1803, and I have zero regrets.
From the first test at home, I was impressed. But today sealed the deal. I’m Caribbean, and we love our sound systems loud and clean.
Throughout the event, I received several compliments on the sound quality. For the price, I honestly don’t think there’s another speaker out there that can touch it.
Yes, there’s a slight hiss, but to me it’s not a big deal. It’s very minimal and seems to depend on the power source. If you know how to manage your sound properly, you’re getting a lot of speaker for the money.
My only complaint is that I wish the shipping was a little faster and that they had a distributor here in the U.S.
Other than that, I’m glad I took the chance. The Exoton 1803 definitely exceeded my expectations.
Got mine in February of this year...added removable casters to the bottom and havent looked back...they are more than worth the price I paid for them...salute to exoton audio for such a quality product... others have heard them live and asked for information on how to order themselves a pair 💪💪💪💪
Currently, I own 2 sets of 1503 and 1803 speakers. The sound quality is impressive. As a mobile DJ, Exoton speakers have become my go to speakers for all of my gigs. The customer service is also top notch.
Keep up the great work.
THIS SPEAKERS ARE REALLY GOOD I PROMISE THEY ARE THE BEST EVER IM FROM MASSACHUSETTS IM GOOD HAPPY EXOTON ESTAS BOCINAS SE LAS RECOMIENDO AL 100% PRONTO ARE UN GRAN VIDEOTOQUE CON UN AMIGO MIO DJ SOLO 4 sets de estas bocinas 18 y muy contento con el audio y la calidad
Loving how my s-1803s sound for various events...after I added pop in removable wheels, nothing can hold me back. From proms/surprised birthday party's to block parties and charity events, these work horses have never let me down and look amazing while providing me with quality sound. Once again, exoton for the win 💪💪💪
