The 8S is a full range, 2-way loudspeaker in a bass-reflex enclosure, utilizing an 8"/1" coaxial driver combination with a passive crossover. The coaxial design offers a symmetrical dispersion pattern in the horizontal and vertical plane while the cabinet may be mounted in either orientation.
With its frequency response from 70 Hz to 20 kHz the 8S can be used as a full range system or can be supplemented by different subwoofers from the xS-Series.
The loudspeaker cabinet is constructed from marine plywood with an impact resistant black or white paint finish. The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill backed by an acoustically transparent foam. The top and bottom panels
incorporate an M8 threaded insert, whilst the rear panel incorporates two.
