Big bottom made easy.
The Quik Lok SWA2801Z Subwoofer ups the ante with even more wattage and a bigger 18" transducer. The SWA2801Z features an internal 800 Watt FR (Fast Recovery) Series amplifier and a high precision 18" transducer custom designed for optimal performance with the amp and enclosure. Onboard Quik Lok Active electronics ensure seamless integration of the amplifier and transducer at all times, creating a system that is highly efficient and versatile. Add it all up and this high output system will peel the paint right off the walls!
True Quik Lok active design
Active doesn't just mean the SWA2801Z has an amplifier bolted on its back — it means optimized electronics that provide complete control and maximum performance over all components. The onboard Active system controls the crossover filters, equalization, protection for the transducer and electronics, and provides real time vigilance over the entire system. There is simply no way that you can get this kind of full system functionality by strapping an amp on the back of a passive speaker box.
No need for an external crossover
Connecting and setting up the SWA2801Z is a breeze. It accepts a stereo or mono line level signal via female XLR input jacks. Male XLR Thru jacks are provided for daisy chaining the signal to additional SWA2801Z cabinets. The built in crossover routes the high frequency content to the high pass output jacks, which can be used to feed the inputs of full range Active speakers, such as those in the Quik Lok SAz Series, or an amplifier powering a pair of passive speakers. A Subwoofer Level control lets you adjust the balance between the subwoofer and the full range speakers.
The secret to Mackie's power
The SWA2801Z's built in amplifier, which produces 800 watts continuous power, sits on a massive heatsink, eliminating the need for fans and dramatically extending life expectancy. A tremendous benefit of having the amplifier inside the subwoofer enclosure is that the SWA2801Z functions as a complete system, optimizing acoustic, electronic, and mechanical designs to achieve the highest level of performance and value.
Solid wood construction
For high output loudspeakers, real wood just sounds better—and it looks better, too! The SWA2801Z enclosure is made of select 15mm Baltic birch plywood and finished in black splatter paint. Carrying handles are integrated into each side for easy loading, and casters are attached to the rear for transport. Since you will probably want the full range enclosure nearby, a pole mount receptacle is strategically placed on top of the enclosure.
