The GH8 is a medium-sized, compact, and

8" full-range dual-cone driver, delivering clear and
powerful sound across a wide frequency range, even
in challenging acoustic environments. The cardioid
dispersion pattern reduces rear sound emission,
minimizing energy loss and residual noise, achieving
up to 129dB SPL per unit.
Housed in a durable stainless steel enclosure with
an IP64 rating, the GH8 is designed to withstand
outdoor applications. It integrates Pure Array
Technology (PAT) and Slim Array Technology (SAT)
for optimized sound coverage and performance. The
speaker is equipped with 2x SpeakON connectors
