VX 8
The VX 8 may be one of the smaller Dual Concentric full range loudspeakers in the VX range, but it boasts an exceptional performance-to-size ratio. VX 8 provides a compact, yet punchy and sonically articulate solution for small-scale performance sound reinforcement, as well as more demanding background music and high-intelligibility speech applications where clarity and natural vocal reproduction are paramount. The VX 8 is also ideally suited for use complimenting much larger systems, making it an excellent choice for both installed and portable applications.
