Most distributed audio systems are plagued with thin-sounding performances but the new IC-SW-8T2 in-ceiling subwoofer changes everything. Engineered for music reinforcement applications these unobtrusive easy-to-install loudspeakers feature a transformer-less design for 70V/100V distributed-line systems with two wattage settings. Since transformers severely limit a subwoofer's capabilities this unique design is the perfect solution when building a great sounding commercial system.

The IC-SW-8T2 adds more dimension to any in-ceiling configuration by using an 8-inch woofer 8-inch drone polypropylene cones and high-temperature voice coils in the active driver. While most subwoofers use a port to increase output the IC-SW-8T2 employs a bandpass design that utilizes a passive radiator. This eliminates a lot of the distortion and removes turbulence that is often present in ported designs. Maximum continuous output is a remarkable 111dB. And since AES rated sensitivity is 92dB adequate levels can be achieved with modest amplifier power using the IC-SW-8T2.

Other key features of the IC-SW-8T2 include the ability to easily switch from low impedance to high impedance distributed-line applications as well as mono and two-channel inputs in low impedance modes. This durable subwoofer has an ABS plastic baffle formed steel back can and a four-point terminal strip input connector and is UL 2043 and 1480 certified. The IC-SW-8T2 is shipped complete with a tile bridge for installation in a suspended ceiling or wherever additional reinforcement of the ceiling material is required. A mudring kit (part # 061347) is also available for drywall ceiling installations.
