VUE Audiotechnik a-8w 8-inch, Two-Way, Passive Full Range System (a-8 in white)

a-Class systems are best for use for working professionals that seeks a better balance of performance, versatility and value. It benefits from the same design principles behind VUE Audiotechnik’s flagship h-Class, a-Class models are bringing the similar voicing characteristics to a broad range of sound reinforcement applications that includes houses of worship, theaters, auditoria and portable PA.

Every component in the a-Class range is manufactured to VUE Audiotechnik’s exacting specifications for delivering a smooth and accurate frequency response at maximum SPLs.

The VUE Audiotechnik a-8w is a compact two-way system that are combining a system-optimized neodymium LF cone driver with a precision-engineered, aluminum-domed, neodymium compression driver. The compression driver is partnered to a 70 x 55 degree horn that is possible to be rotated for ideal dispersion in both vertical and horizontal orientations. System specific crossover networks are carefully tailored for each driver and cabinet combination. The resulting synergy of transducers, horn and crossover ensures that the Audiotechnik a-8w is achieving an exceptional balance of output and definition throughout their respective frequency ranges.

The VUE Audiotechnik a-8w comes featuring a unique five-sided enclosure for easy use in vertical or horizontal orientations. Handles and an integrated pole mount system make portable use on stands or atop subwoofers a breeze, and integrated hanging points provide flexible flying options at the same time. And thanks to their consistent and predictable coverage, either model works equally well alone or as part of larger, multi-cabinet arrays in more sophisticated applications. Arrays can be horizontal or stacked.

All a-Class cabinets are manufactured to strict ISO compliances for ensuring the exceptional sonic performance and years of reliable service. Ultra-rigid, multi-ply cross-grain laminated birch construction and extensive interior bracing ensure absolute rigidity. All wood surfaces are protected by a rugged, waterproof polyurethane textured finish, while the cabinet front features a protective steel grill with a water resistant powder coating.
