Community W2-228T All-Weather Outdoor Full-Range Quase 3-Way 8-Inch Black 85 x 85 70V/100V

Quasi 3-Way Performance. Compact Design. Transformer-Ready.

The Community W2-228T loudspeaker is a high-output, quasi three-way full-range system designed for premium performance in compact form. Engineered for short-throw outdoor environments, the W2-228T delivers clear vocal projection and full-range musicality—even in harsh conditions.

This transformer-equipped version includes a factory-installed 200W autoformer, allowing operation on 70V or 100V distributed lines with selectable taps at 200W, 100W, 50W, and 25W, making it ideal for scalable installations.

Dual 8-inch carbon fiber LF and MF/LF cones, combined with a coaxially mounted 1-inch HF compression driver, provide a wide 85° x 85° conical dispersion with smooth response and exceptional durability thanks to Ferrofluid-cooled components and non-metallic, weather-inert diaphragms.
