Introduction
Full range horn speaker 8”
The HS2xx series are 2-way horn loaded loudspeakers which are specifically engineered
to provide a long-throw, full-range sound projection in a wide variety of in- and outdoor
applications.
The HS208MK2 is the 8” model of the HS2xx family consisting of a 8” high-output
woofer and a compression driver with 1.3” voice coil. The compression driver is equipped
with an overload protection and is fitted with a 40° x 40° coverage horn which is coaxially
constructed as one entity with the loudspeaker’s enclosure.
Thanks to the selection of complementary high-quality components which are carefully
matched, the HS208MK2 delivers a wide range, smooth frequency response with a
high efficiency. This ensures an extraordinary clarity of speech and extended frequency
response for music with an RMS power of 150 Watt, up to a maximum power of 300
Watt. The frequency range (-10 dB) starts from 70 Hz up to 20 kHz and the sensitivity
(1W / 1m) reaches 97 dB, while a maximum continuous sound pressure level of 123 dB
can be achieved.
The enclosure is constructed out of multi-layer glass composite material with a durable
scratch resistant EPDM coating. The aluminium front grill is lined with an acoustical
transparent and water eliminating backing.
Two different models are available for low impedance use (HS208MK2) and 100V use
(HS208TMK2). The HS208MK2 is fitted with two heavy-duty SpeakON connectors
with waterproof gaskets which ensures a reliable connection with easy link-through to
other speakers. The HS208TMK2 is fitted with a waterproof connection box containing
a multi-tapping barrier terminal block enabling the selection of different line transformer
power tappings while providing easy link-through to other speakers. This makes the
speakers suitable for outdoor use.
An optional mounting bracket provides a complete solution for installation of the system.
