"The SWA1801 fills a much needed niche in our growing family of sound reinforcement speakers - the subwoofer position between the SR1501 and Fussion subwoofers," explained Ivan Schwartz, corporate director, Global Sound Reinforcement Product and Market Development. "We pulled out all the stops with this one. From the RCF Precision transducer to a new port design, we are very proud of the new 1801."
The newly designed RCF Precision transducer features a unique 4-inch inside/outside wound voice coil with composite polyamide former construction that provides improved power handling capabilities. The magnetic assembly utilizes advancements in coil venting and structural cooling that offer lower temperature rise and substantially improved power compression characteristics. The system uses a proprietary high efficiency, high current amplifier module that provides high current at all levels of operation. It is rated at 900W RMS of continuous output and 1400W of peak output.
The SWA1801 also features a sophisticated on board control system. The input panel accepts line level input signal and has loop out connectors for signal routing to other devices. It also includes a high-pass out connection for routing signal to full range speakers or amplifiers powering passive full range speakers. A polarity selection switch and a recessed level control are also provided.Mackie can be found on stand E52.
