Pw 34
Stereo 2/3 Way , Mono 4-Way Crossover with XLR Connectors
Product at a Glance
The British Acoustics PW 34 provides flexible signal management with selectable Stereo 2-Way, Stereo 3-Way, or Mono 4-Way crossover modes, maintaining a pure analogue signal path for minimal phase distortion and high sonic fidelity. Equipped with XLR inputs/outputs, adjustable input sensitivity, and a 40Hz low-cut filter, it adapts seamlessly to mobile and installed audio systems. Delivering over 106dB dynamic headroom, crosstalk above 80dB, and THD below 0.004%, the PW 34 ensures clean, powerful sound. Its live sound-optimised limiters and high-quality components are housed in a durable black aluminium chassis with a brushed steel front panel, ideal for touring, rental, and critical installations.
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.
