Biamp W2-218 8" 2-Way Speaker 300W, Black

The Community W2-218 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" carbon fiber LF driver and a 1" HF compression driver featuring a weather-resistant, non-metallic, non-resonant polymide 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 threelayer 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.

Five-year product warranty plus a fifteen-year enclosure warranty.
