2. Product Description
The GRAVIS 8 is a high performance all-round speaker whose two monitor angles allow for it
to be used not only as a highly professional mid-high range PA speaker, but also as a versatile
stage monitor. To fly the speaker, you can use the unique Kling & Freitag 'VariPoint' Flying
Points with a standard M10 thread or with the quick connecting 'K&F Lifting Pin'. The model
GRAVIS 8 W is equipped with a rotatable tweeter horn with a coverage angle of 85° x 55°. Its
