F18 PWH
The F18 PWH is mostly used serving as high-performance subwoofer.
Especially its supreme long-throw ability and mid-bass range directivity
make the F18PWH the predestined subwoofer to be employed in basically
any system configuration. Both Planar Waveguide™ bass-horns are equip-
ped with an ELECTRO-VOICE EVX180B 18“ high-performance chassis with
a power handling of 500 watts RMS / 1,000 watts program into 8 .
F17 PWH
The F17PWH is a highly efficient bass-cabinet with optimally matched
dimensions an enclosure geometry to perfectly complement the F12CWH
Mid-Hi cabinet. Its compact size, castors on the rear as a standard and low
weight make the F17PWH the first choice for medium and long-throw on-
the-road applications. Through its high efficiency of 99 dB (1 W/1 m) and a
power handling capacity of 500 watts, the F17PWH accomplishes coverage
distances of 60 m – 80 m in two-stack operation and of 120 m – 160 m
when stacked in four. The recommended transition frequency to Mid-Hi
cabinets is 160 Hz/18 dB/oct. Butterworth or 24 dB/oct. Linkwitz-Riley.
The F8 subwoofer marks DYNACORD’s consequent further development of
the meanwhile legendary F118. The highly efficient Electro-Voice EVX180B
18" woofer is capable of handling a continuous program power capacity of
500 W offering a peak-SPL of 130dB and lowest non-linear distortion. The
integrated passive PowerMax x-over (x-over frequency 160Hz) features a
parallel output and an additional crossover output offering trouble-free
parallel or x-over operation when combined with professional full-range or
Mid-Hi cabinets. Reliable protection of the Electro-Voice EVX180B woofer
against critical peak levels and thermal overload is guaranteed through a
thermal breaker and professional halogen lamps. The SPEAKON-type
connectors wired-through, allowing active system installations that employ
DYNACORD system power amps PM2600 or Xa2600 for instance can be
set up using 4-pole SPEAKON-type cables, without the risk of inadvertent
mismatching. Four extremely robust castors are located on the cabinet’s rear
and four ergonomically optimised recessed handles facilitate handling and
transportation. Frontal protection is provided through a robust steel grille
that is covered with acoustic foam.
