It is a perfect solution for all kinds of touring systems. As ideal option the Tecnare T20-44 amplifier is the adequate to power a SW218V. The Tecnare T20-44 ensures maximum driver protec- tion, and advanced crossover functions minimizing the risk of damage to the loudspeakers while yielding high constant output under high continu- ous and peak power conditions.

Loudspeaker Setup SW-218V 2. Loudspeaker Setup 2.1. Standard Operation The standard operation corresponds to the use of subwoofers as single elements or as standard subwoofer arrays. In this configuration the system operates with a quasi-omni-directional directivity pattern due to its passive directivity control.
The output of the reversed subwoofer cancels the output of the other subwoofers nor- mally present behind the units. Tecnare has specifically designed cardioid presets [SW218V_C]. However, we recommend calculating the appropriate ratio of forward to rear facing loudspeakers, as well as to measure of required parameter setting of po- larity, delay, and gain.
Sound Systems recommended operating the SW-218V loudspeaker together Tecnare loudspeak- er controllers. Tecnare only recommends using preset/amplifier developed by Tecnare, otherwise there is a risk of damag- ing the loudspeaker components. DP Series Loudspeaker Controller, PA Series amplifier and T-Series amplifier are ideal for this purpose.
Loudspeaker Connection SW-218V 3.2. Connection to T10-44 MAXIMUM OF 04 ENCLOSURES PER T10-44 01 x SW-218V can be connected to each output channel on the T10-44. Therefore, a single T20-44 amplifier controller can drive up to 04 enclosures. See the preset manual connect the reverse subwoofer to use the cardioid preset. Impedance load: 4Ω...
Loudspeaker Connection SW-218V 3.4. Connection to PA5000 MAXIMUM OF 02 ENCLOSURES PER PA5000 01 x SW-218V can be connected to each output channel on the PA5000. Therefore, a single PA5000 amplifier can drive up to 02 enclosures. See the preset manual connect the reverse subwoofer to use the cardioid preset. Impedance load: 4Ω...
Integration SW-218V 4. Integrating the SW218V 4.1. Integrating SW-218V subwoofer with Tecnare Louds- peaker Systems The SW-218V subwoofer can achieve frequencies down to 40 Hz (-10dB), extending the system response appreciably and increasing the acoustic power of the system in the lowest frequencies. Common applications for the SW-218V subwoofer include using it with CLa208, CLa21 Curvilinear Array Loudspeakers, as well as using it with Ibza or V Series loudspeakers.
Integration SW-218V 4.2. Placement for SW-218V An important factor governing subwoofer response is their placement relative to adjacent surfaces. Subwoo- fers gain significant power by coupling (or loading) with nearby floors and walls. Placing any loudspeaker against a large plane (relative to the wavelength) produces a half-space loading condition, meaning that all the energy radia- ting spherically (equal energy in all directions) from the loudspeaker is now being radiated into a hemisphere, or half the area.
SW-218V 5. Transport and storage As the Tecnare SW-218V loudspeaker weighs over 85kg (188.49 lbs), four people are needed to move and transport the unit. To transport the unit whit a single person, Tecnare recommends using the optional Caster kit wheels.
