COMPACT M 08
TWO-WAY PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER
DESCRIPTION
COMPACT M 08 is a multipurpose two-way
full-range speaker system, suitable for a wide
range of applications. Its balanced sound is a
big asset in near-field applications for the
best intelligibility. The M 08 features high
sensitivity, typical of professional audio
cabinets thanks to the use of oversized
magnets and a HI-FI sound quality, with
smooth and wide frequency response, thanks
to the wave-guided compression driver. The
SPL level of low-distortion audio the M 08 can
provide goes far beyond expectations of such
a compact solution. The elegant and compact
design with accurate finishing makes M 08
suitable for almost any environment, even
with architectural constraints. Optional
mounting accessories allow using M 08 on
wall or ceiling installations.
