Pw 34
Stereo 2/3 Way , Mono 4-Way Crossover with XLR Connectors
Product at a Glance
The British Acoustics PW 34 is crafted to deliver flexible signal management and precision performance across diverse sound system configurations. Offering selectable Stereo 2-Way, Stereo 3-Way, or Mono 4-Way crossover modes, it maintains a pure analogue signal path to ensure minimal phase distortion and uncompromised sonic fidelity. Equipped with XLR inputs and outputs, adjustable input sensitivity, and an integrated 40Hz low-cut filter, the PW 34 adapts seamlessly to both mobile and installed audio environments.
With dynamic headroom exceeding 106dB, a crosstalk rating above 80dB, and total harmonic distortion kept below 0.004% across the audible range, the PW 34 guarantees clean and powerful signal delivery. Its live sound-optimised limiters and high-grade components are housed within a robust black aluminium chassis featuring a brushed steel front panel, offering lasting durability and performance for touring rigs, rental inventories, and critical installation applications.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Painstakingly Perfect Production
Over the years, craftsmanship has been closely linked with small scale individualistic production. Back in 1972, we started the same way. As we grew in scale & size, it was difficult to build each speaker individually, but quality control was of utmost importance as so switching to a general assembly line was simply not an option. So we wrote up a code, one quite like enigma, to ensure quality control. We selected the right partners, got the right tools, and in cases where those weren't available, we invented them. We grew slower than most as our aim was to last longer than most.
