Operating Manual M8
Introduction
Thank you for choosing a high quality product "MADE IN GERMANY" from TW AUDiO.
One of the most popular TW AUDiO loudspeakers is the M8 multifunctional speaker, a
compact loudspeaker with an 8"/1" configuration developed for uncompromising quality.
The passive combination of the M8 and B15, making up our M-SYS-TWO, deserves
special mention. In the actively driven bi-amped combination with B15, B18 or even
B30s loudspeakers, the M8 with its 124 dB SPL will remain acoustically superior for a
long time.
