MSW-2
UltraSeries™
Subwoofer
The compact, high-power MSW-2
extends the frequency range and power
bandwidth of Meyer Sound reinforcement
systems to 35 Hz. Arrayable and rugged,
the subwoofer consists of one 18-inch
cone driver capable of long excursion
with extremely low distortion, housed
in a heavily braced 2.3 cubic foot vented
enclosure of multiple-ply hardwood.
Fitted with handles, the roadworthy
cabinet has a durable textured finish and,
optionally, aircraft-style rigging pan fit-
tings for ease of installation.
The MSW-2 requires a professional
quality power amplifier capable of deliver-
ing up to 400 watts into 8 ohms, with a
signal voltage gain of 20 dB (minimum) to
30 dB (maximum).
