KV2 Audio » Products » ESD » ESD8
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 a in-fill for larger systems, the flexible ESD8 can be applied quickly and efficiently on podiums, stands or suspended.
Available in WP (Weather Proof) and MG (Marine Grade) variants, both IP55 certified to IEC 60 529 for protected outdoor and demanding installations. For full details on protection levels, construction standards and variant specifications, see the KV2 Audio Weather Protection overview.
