Community Two-way Speaker with Built-ion 200W Autoformer W2-2W8T

Community W2-2W8T Two-way Speaker with Built-ion 200W Autoformer

Ultra-Wide Dispersion. Compact Design. Weatherproof Performance.

The Community W2-2W8T is a powerful two-way loudspeaker system built to deliver true 120° horizontal dispersion for consistent, wide-area coverage. Designed for demanding outdoor environments, it’s perfect for under-balcony fill, outdoor entertainment centers, stage edge fill, and other short-throw distributed sound applications where clear, balanced sound and rugged construction are essential.

This model features a factory-installed 200W autoformer, supporting 70V/100V distributed audio systems with selectable taps at 200W, 100W, 50W, and 25W.

Engineered with a unique molded Super-V LF driver configuration, the W2-2W8T provides superior midrange clarity and avoids vertical lobing—an issue found in traditional under-balcony systems. Combined with a centrally mounted HF horn, it ensures consistent vocal intelligibility and musical detail across the entire coverage pattern.
