INTRODUCTION
The SW-800/SA-100/SW-800 Enclosure,
together comprise an in-wall powered
subwoofer system. This system is ideal
anywhere additional bass response is
desired, but bulky traditional floor stand-
ing subwoofer enclosures just won't
work. Because of it’s modular design the
system can be configured for the exact
requirements of your application.
CONTINUED OTHER SIDE
Component System
Design
A system can consist of up to four
SW-800 in-wall subwoofers,
each with SW-800 in wall enclo-
sures, and one SA-100 sub-
woofer amplifier. Vary the num-
ber of SW-800’s to the size of the
room. For example, in a large
Home Theater you would place
three or four SW-800’s and one
amplifier. In a small room like a
den you would place one SW-
800, controlled by one SA-100
amplifier.
Mica-Filled Polypropylene
Woofer
The mica-filled polypropylene
cone achieves new standards in
transient speed and dynamic
range because of its phenomenal
rigidity and high stiffness to mass
ratio. The inverted butyl sur-
round, the BumpBack
TM magnet
and the rigid steel basket are all
optimized for large excursions of
the cone. In this way, an SW-800
delivers exceptionally deep and
detailed bass at realistic sound
pressure levels, without the
mechanically induced limiting
and distortion of typical designs.
X-Matrix™ Reinforced
Baffle
The X-Matrix baffle design uses
specially molded ribs to add rigid-
ity to the baffle. Rigidity reduces
resonance and coloration, result-
ing in more detail and more real-
ism at high volume levels.
Absolutely Flush to the
Wall Appearance
The unique mounting system of
the SW loudspeakers powerfully
clamps the frame to the bracket,
sandwiching the wall material
between them. Because the
clamping action is totally uniform
around the frame, there are no
shadows or gaps between the
wall and the frame.
Weather-Proof
Construction
The subwoofer, the frame and
the baffle are all weather-proof.
The MicroPerf
™ aluminum grille
is rust proof and the mounting
screws are all stainless steel.
Three Stage Installation
System Prevents Theft and
Simplifies Painting
You install only the parts you
need for a particular stage of
construction. When the framing
and wiring are finished, you
install the SW-800 in-wall
enclosure and bracket. After the
drywall is up, but before the
painter begins to paint, you
install the frame and provide the
rustproof aluminum grilles to
the painter so that they can be
painted to match the surround-
ings. Only when construction is
completely finished do you put
the valuable SW-800 subwoofer
in the wall.
