Designed as a versatile and ultra compact loudspeaker, the MP-8 provides high output, high definition sound from a 8“ with inside/outside voicecoil for improved heat transfer, and a 1“ driver mounted on a constant coverage waveguide with a 90 x 60 degree dispersion. Both drivers are latest design, taking advantage of newest available technology advancements for improved reliability and sound transperency.
The internal crossover is designed for improved transient response and low loss of power. High quality coils and capacitors ensures the same high quality of loudspeaker response during the loudspeakers lifetime. The crossover point has been carefully selected, and the crossover has been designed for everyday hard use and secured for safety during transport.
MP-8 provides a 40 degree tilt when used as low profile floor monitor on stage with a height of only 24cm.
