1.2. Overview the SW-218V Subwoofer
The Tecnare®SW-218V is a high-performance double-18-in hybrid Horn-Reex subwoofer enclosure. It
has been designed for medium to long-throw sound reinforcement. The response given with this subwoofer is very
deep, starting at 38Hz. It delivers a tight “punch” combined with a low deep response.
The acoustic loading of the speaker, perfectly matched, prevents
cones to over-excursions. It is a perfect solution for all kinds of touring
systems.
As ideal option the Tecnare T20-44 amplier is the adequate to
power a SW218V. The Tecnare T20-44 ensures maximum driver protec-
tion, and advanced crossover functions minimizing the risk of damage to
the loudspeakers while yielding high constant output under high continu-
ous and peak power conditions.
Thanks to its passive directivity, the SW-218V is prepared to work in a conventional setup as well as ar-
ranged in a cardioid subwoofer conguration by combining physical deployment and the suitable preset.
The cabinet is assembled with 18 mm ply Baltic birch and has a weather resistant paint nish (Polyurea
Protection), properly braced for intended use. The front of the cabinet is protected by a hex-stamped steel grille. Pro-
tective runners are included at the bottom ensure securely align with the cabinet’s top slots. It features four handles.
The subwoofer shall be connected via one 4-point speakON.
Castors and protective covers can be supplied as an accessory.
