E8
The E8 is a high performance multipurpose loudspeaker employing an
integrated 8"/1" exit coaxial driver design with neodymium magnet and
constant directivity horn loading. The horn with its 90° x 50° (hor. x
vert.) dispersion pattern can easily be rotated through 90° providing a
50° x 90° pattern without the use of tools.
The E8 is a two way design with a built-in passive crossover network. Its
frequency response extends from 62 Hz to above 18 kHz.
The E8 enclosure is constructed from polyurethane integral hard foam
with an impact and weather resistant black paint finish. The cabinet
shape allows use either in a vertical or horizontal orientation as well as
deployment as a stage monitor.
The front of the loudspeaker cabinet is protected by a rigid metal grill in
front of an acoustically transparent foam. The grill can easily be
removed without tools to modify the horn orientation.
The cabinet incorporates a handle, a pole mount socket and six M10
threaded inserts to connect to different rigging accessories like Z5350
E8 Flying bracket, Z5354 E8/E12 Flying adapter, Z5020 Flying adapter
02, Z5025 Flying adapter 03 or Z5351 E8 Horizontal bracket. An
additional M10 thread in the rear panel can be used to connect a
safety wire.
The connector panel of the E8 cabinet is recessed and tilted to allow
deployment as a stage monitor. With the panel on the right hand side,
the cabinet is oriented correctly.
NOTICE:
Only operate E8 loudspeakers with a correctly configured d&b
amplifier, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the loudspeaker
components.
