Bg PD-8i Specifications

PD-8i

The largest, most powerful In-Wall model in the PD Series of custom

loudspeakers, the PD-8i is capable of filling large spaces with richly detailed, natural sound. Each

PD-8i contains BG’s proprietary Neo3PDR planar ribbon tweeter that delivers an extremely broad,

well defined soundstage over the entire listening area.

To add to the tweeter’s stunning dispersion and resolution, the PD-8i features an innovative

woofer with high excursion capabilities and very low distortion. This high tech woofer design

makes use of compact Neodymium magnets to provide an acoustically transparent woofer

chassis which dramatically improves midrange clarity by eliminating sound reflections directly

behind the woofer. The superior Kevlar™ cone woofers used in the PD Series not only provide

lifelike two-channel clarity but are also capable of achieving the extreme dynamics associated

with high performance home theater applications.

As with the entire PD Series, the PD-8i is crafted from high impact, poly-composite frames that

are well suited for the entire home. Rugged, paintable surfaces are the perfect complement for

custom installations where there is zero tolerance for error and a maximum need for discrete

high fidelity.

Clean and clear with smooth, lifelike imaging. The PD-8i makes it not only possible but

remarkably simple to design and install these systems in virtually any high performance In-Wall or

In-Ceiling sound system
