Biamp Community W2-218T Full-Range 2-Way 8-Inch Compact System 70V/100V (Black) - 911.1339.900

The Community W2-218T is a compact two-way, full-range loudspeaker system featuring an 8-inch carbon fiber LF driver and a 1-inch HF compression driver with a weather resistant, non-metallic, non-resonant polyimide diaphragm. Drivers are Ferrofluid-cooled to improve heat transfer, resulting in higher power handling and reduced distortion. The W2-218T features a built-in 100-watt autoformer for 70V/100V lines with selectable taps at 100, 50, 25 and 12.5 watts.

Like all WET Series II loudspeakers, the W2-218T is designed to provide high quality music and voice reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather-resistance. The W2-218T's compact enclosure features unmatched durability and ruggedness and is engineered for use in permanent installations.

The loudspeaker enclosure and faceplate are constructed of multi-layer glass composite, resulting in extreme structural strength. A three-layer Weather-Stop grille provides weather-resistance to the internal components, while all exposed hardware is stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum extrusion. A weather-resistant stainless steel mounting yoke is included.

The W2-218T is backed by a five-year product warranty plus a fifteen-year enclosure warranty.
