KEY FEATURES
• Band-Pass/Bass-Reflex Active Subwoofer
• Single 21" Neodymium woofer with 4" ISV voice coil
• Water repellent cone
• Very compact enclosure
INTRODUCTION
The SW2100A is a very compact Band-Pass/Bass-Reflex subwoofer providing high output and
extended low frequency response. It is equipped with a single 21" neodymium transducer with
a 4" ISV voice coil, large displacement suspension system, and composite reinforced, water
repellent cone, able to provide clean and undistorted LF reproduction at very high SPL.
The loudspeaker is designed with a unique motor featuring a high grade neodymium magnet
assembly in a structure optimized for thermal and magnetic efficiency. It features include a large
displacement suspension system which, in conjunction with a composite reinforced, straight
ribbed cone and the proprietary Double Silicon Spider (DSS) technology, allows an ultra-linear
piston action and provides full mechanical control across the entire working range. The 100mm (4
in) state-of-the-art voice-coil utilizing Interleaved Sandwich Voice coil (ISV) technology, provides
high levels of thermal stability and durability. The ISV technology achieves a balanced linear
motor unit exerting an exceptionally high force factor.
The DA module employed for powering the SW2100A features also PFC (Power Factor Correction),
a technology able to guarantee always the highest level of power regardless of any eventual
fluctuations of the power supply. It delivers in an ultra-compact package 2000W from each of its two channels: one channel is used to drive the
21" woofer, the other, through an output SPEAKON connector, can power AX12C line array modules.
The SW2100A has been mainly designed to provide the optimal low frequency extension to the AX12C line array module providing 2000W to
power up to four AX12C line array modules. The built-in CORE DSP provides 4 presets for different combinations: 2, 4 or 1 columns plus 1 user
preset (additional presets for processing other AXIOM speakers are also available).
The SW2100A features on the top panel a special metal plate and it comes with a dedicated aluminium bracket for fast coupling with the AX12C's
rigging hardware. Using this simple system, up to two AX12C modules can be easily installed on an SW2100A.
The standard system, composed of four AX12C line array modules and two SW2100A subwoofers, features 8000W of total power and a line-array
dispersion pattern, making it the perfect solution for high-performance portable sound reinforcement applications.

    (additional presets for processing other AXIOM speakers are also available). The SW2100A features on the top panel a special metal plate and it comes with a dedicated aluminium bracket for fast coupling with the AX12C’s rigging hardware. Using this simple system, up to two AX12C modules can be easily installed on an SW2100A.

    Allen Screws IMPORTANT 4 x M5 Flat Head To install the AX12C bracket on the SW2100A Allen use the screws already present on the fixing plate, Screws as shown in the figure. When removing the AX12C bracket from the SW2100A put back the screws in the threaded holes as shown in the figure, in order to avoid air leakage.
  • Page 3 TERMINATE - In a PRONET network the last loudspeaker device must be terminated (with an inner load resistance) especially in a long run cabling: press this switch if you want to terminate the unit. POWER OUT - SW2100A is able to power the passive AX12C column array module (or other loudspeakers) through the available power output on the back panel.

    The superior sound quality can be compared with top-of-the-range AB-class analog systems, while the DA modules feature a higher dynamics, very compact size and light weight and efficiency above 90%. The DA module employed for powering the SW2100A features also PFC (Power Factor Correction), a technology able to guarantee always the highest level of power regardless of any eventual fluctuations of the power supply.
  • Page 5 • The ground where the SW2100A is placed needs to be absolutely stable and compact. • Adjust the feet so to lie the SW2100A perfectly horizontal to ground. Use a spirit level to obtain the best result. • Always secure ground stacked setups against movement and possible tipping over.
