The W2-218T comes with a built-in 100-watt autoformer for 70V/100V lines with selectable taps at 100, 50, 25 and 12.5 watts and provides superior sound quality in a compact sound system featuring unmatched durability and ruggedness.
A compact two-way, full-range loudspeaker system featuring an 8-inch carbon fiber LF driver and a 1-inch HF compression driver featuring a weather-resistant, non-metallic, nonresonant polyimide diaphragm. Drivers are Ferrofluid-cooled to improve heat transfer, resulting in higher power and reduced distortion.
Like all WET Series II loudspeakers, the W2-218 is designed to provide high-quality music and voice reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather-resistance and is engineered for use in permanent installations.
The loudspeaker enclosure and faceplate are constructed of multilayer glass composite, resulting in extreme structural strength. A three-layer Weather-Stop™ grille of stainless steel mesh and open cell foam 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 W2-218 is also available in an optional “transformer” version (model W2-218T), with a built-in 100 -watt autoformer for 70V/100V lines with selectable taps at 100, 50, 25 and 12.5 watts.
