Community's W2-218 is a compact two-way, full-range loudspeaker system featuring an 8-inch carbon fiber LF driver and a 1-inch HF compression driver with a weatherresistant, non-metallic, non-resonant polyimide diaphragm. Drivers are Ferrofluid-cooled to improve heat transfer, resulting in higher power handling and reduced distortion.

Like all WET Series II loudspeakers, the W2-218 is designed to provide high quality music and voice reproduction in applications requiring extreme weather-resistance. The W2-218's compact enclosure features unmatched durability and ruggedness and is engineered for use in permanent installations.

The loudspeaker enclosure and faceplate are constructed of multilayer glass composite, resulting in extreme structural strength. A threelayer Weather-Stop™ grille provides weather-resistance to the internal components, while all exposed hardware is stainless steel or powdercoated aluminum extrusion. A weather-resistant stainless steel mounting yoke is included.

The W2-218 is also available in an optional "autoformer" version (model W2-218T), with a built-in 100-watt autoformer for 70V/100V lines with selectable taps at 100, 50, 25 and 12.5 watts.

The W2-218 is backed by a five-year product warranty plus a fifteen-year enclosure warranty
