Biamp Community W2-2W8 Two-Way 8-Inch "Wide" Compact System (White) - 911.1348.900

Exhibiting a true 120º wide coverage pattern, the Community WET2W8 is an innovative two-way loudspeaker. The W2-2W8 satisfies a variety of sound reinforcement, down-fill, under balcony stage edge fill, monitoring, and other applications.

The LF drivers and centrally placed 120º HF pattern control horn have been engineered to provide superior uniform pattern over the widest possible bandwidth. The unique molded "Super-V" configuration of the LF drivers provides exceptional uniform mid-range coverage that would be impossible to create with a conventional flat wood baffle plate. Precise modeling and documentation prove that woofer/horn/woofer placement in traditional under balcony fill-type loudspeaker designs exacerbates severe vertical lobing. The Super-V configuration prevents the collapse of the horizontal coverage pattern throughout its range, especially the critical voice-range, when oriented in its usual horizontal position.

Engineered for 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 stainless steel mounting yoke is included.
