The cabinets are built for the road, with durable carpet covering, heavy-duty steel corners, and a heavy-duty arced steel grille. Both Neutrik speakON and 1/4" connectors are included on the SW218V for maximum routing flexiblity and reliability. If you need to beef up the bottom end of your sound-reinforcement system, check out the SW218V.

• Quality cabinet construction
• Unbeatable, reliable speakers
• Top-notch connections

The SW218V's cabinet is constructed of high quality particleboard, chosen for its high strength and elasticity, consistent void free makeup and light weight. Another great benefit of this material is its environmental friendliness. Made from southern yellow pine, this material is both abundant and quickly renewable. Accurate CNC routing machines are used to cut every part, assuring consistency with tolerances of one ten thousandth of an inch. Skilled technicians assemble each cabinet by hand, rejecting any defects. Whether covered in durable carpet or the elastomeric spray coating, heavy steel handles and sturdy pole sockets make moving and positioning easy.

The drivers, or speakers in these cabinets, are custom made my Eminence Speaker Corporation to Yamaha's exacting tolerances. Woofers share design features like high strength curvilinear cones and Dupont Kapton voice coil formers. Oxygen-free copper voice coils and oversize strontium ferrite magnets are also used to provide high power handling and long life. The SW218V's 18" drivers use cast aluminum frames to support the massive magnet structure, eliminate flex and help dissipate heat.

Connections on the Yamaha SW218V loudspeakers are dual Neutrik speakON jacks for the highest possible strength and current capacity. Two of each connector makes it easy to "daisy chain," or add speakers.
