Pro 1808R
For years, a lot of us at Swans have been interested in high end audio.
We became spoiled listening to great sounding speakers. This became apparent when we went out
with friends to socialize at bars or clubs. Our ears got a rude awakening to the reality of most com-
mercial PA systems. To put it bluntly, they sucked!
Our musician friends would ask us if we could build a PA speaker that sounded good. Unfortunately
at that time, the drivers we used in our own home audio systems could never stand up to the abuse
that a PA speaker must endure, so we could never accommodate their requests.
Finally our owner succumbed and told his engineering department to design a PA speaker that would
play loud and sound great.
Well after a year of development we have done it. The Pro1808R uses a combination of ribbon
tweeters and high efficiency drivers that as one musician friend proclaimed “knocks the socks off of
the competition”. There are four 6-inch ribbon tweeters behind the high frequency horn. Trebles are
sweet and easy on the ears. The midrange is handle by a high efficiency 8-inch driver and the bass
with a massive 18-inch woofer. The rated efficiency is 100 db and it will play loud!!!
Listen to the best PA speaker you can find then come listen to Swans.
You will be impressed.
