ESD8

2-way Passive speaker

The ESD8 is a compact passive 2-way, high output full-range loudspeaker incorporating an 8" trans-coil woofer and a 1” compression driver coupled to a wide dispersion horn. Presented conservatively in a unique angled low-profile Baltic birch enclosure and designed to present exceptional speech and music definition, the ESD8 provides a smooth hi-fidelity response and delivers a natural sound quality and level that is superior to many larger competing products. Ideal as a main system speaker or as an in-fill for larger systems, the flexible ESD8 can be applied quickly and efficiently on podiums, stands, or suspended.
