Passive column loudspeaker ML8, 8 x 2" drivers, 1-way - Harmonic Design HDE-60209

1-way passive column loudspeaker featuring an elegant appearance and excellent sound performance. The 8 x 2" full-range speakers produce a cylindrical sound wave up to the highest audible frequencies. These speakers are the best choice for reproducing the human voice due to their low diaphragm weight and almost equal size to the human vocal cords. To reproduce a sound event from the fundamental to the overtones, conventional loudspeakers use two or three different types of transducers; this results in poor coherence not only in the crossover areas, but also in the important mid-frequency range due to the different decay times and diaphragm mass of the different transducer types and a different "response characteristic". Especially when reproducing instruments or dialogues where the fundamental range is covered by one type of transducer and the overtone range by the other type, the sound can be distorted. Here, the coherent 1-way design of the ML-Series HD column loudspeakers offers clear advantages: the full-range speakers, which reproduce the fundamental range up to the overtone range, combined with the Line Source, make playback a first-class listening experience. The extended frequency response and better speech intelligibility than traditional column loudspeakers make the hd ML8 LineArray Stick ideal for use in acoustically challenging environments such as churches, airports, conference rooms or lobbies. The long throw of up to 12 m and the horizontal coverage of 100° ensure great efficiency with only a few speakers. The M6 ​​square cage nut slot on the back of the loudspeaker allows you to connect all stands or a tilting tripod adapter. A speakON connector is located on the bottom plate to connect the inputs, while a 35 mm flange allows use on a tripod.
