The E8 is a high performance 2-way multipurpose loudspeaker employing an integrated coaxial driver with a neodymium magnet assembly. The 1" exit HF compression driver and constant directivity horn are accommodated within the circumference of the 8" LF driver. With its 90° x 50° dispersion pattern (h x v),the horn is easily rotatable through 90° without the use of tools to provide a 50° x 90° dispersion pattern.
The E8 can be used for speech and music applications as a stand-alone full range system, or incorporated into larger distributed sound reinforcement situations. It can be mounted on loudspeaker stands or flown from overhead bars, while the multifaceted shape of the enclosure allows use either in a vertical or horizontal orientation as well as deployment as a stage monitor. With the addition of an E12X-SUB or any other E-Series subwoofer, the E8 can also reproduce high level music program.
The E8 cabinet is constructed from polyurethane integral hard foam with an impact resistant paint finish. The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill backed by an acoustically transparent foam. The grill can easily be removed without tools to modify the horn orientation.The cabinet incorporates a handle and a socket to accept
loudspeaker stands.
