W2-228

FULL-RANGE QUASI 3-WAY 8-INCH
The W2-228 is slightly larger than the W2-218 in size. As a “quasi”
three-way, full-range loudspeaker system, the W2-228 includes an 8-
inch LF driver, an 8-inch MF/LF driver and 1-inch HF driver. It is ideal
for short throw applications where both full-range reproduction and
high weather-resistance are needed, providing an uncompromised
musical system in a compact, attractive package. Model W2-228T
with a factory-installed 200-watt autoformer for 70V/100V
applications is also available. A weather-resistant mounting bracket is
included for easy installation.
Over 70 WET228’s are installed in the Islands of Adventure™ at
Universal Studios’ Escape™ Theme Park to reproduce multi-
track audio, sound effects, music, and announcements. The
loudspeakers must survive both Florida's hot, humid climate and
water spray from the numerous rides.
