Clear and Present

The W-12A is a two-way, high efficiency, passive loudspeaker. It is designed as a compact high performance system for the reproduction of speech and music program material.

The W-12A has a 1-inch exit compression driver coupled to a 75 X 75 degree wooden waveguide horn for reproducing high frequencies, and a 12-inch cone transducer in a tuned enclosure for the low frequencies. A high-quality passive network operates very efficiently, also providing EQ points for a flat frequency response.

Built to last

The W-12A's sturdy multi-ply plywood enclosure and multi-layered catalyzed Polyurea finish is designed to withstand the most demanding applications. A perforated, powder coated steel grille with a high transmission ratio offers excellent protective properties.

The W-12A can be purchased in two versions. The install (W-12Ai) configuration has a passive internal crossover, while the (W-12Ai-P) is self-powered. Both models have a standard 12-point flyware system. Both are available in white, black, or unfinished exterior.
