Community V2-8BT 8-inch 2-Way Speaker - Black (Auto)

The V2-8 is a two-way, full-range loudspeaker system suitable for use in a wide variety of fixed installations. Compact but powerful, it is ideal for distributed systems such as those found in cafés, restaurants, shopping centers and airports. When paired with a subwoofer such as the V2-210S, a V2-8 system will produce high-fidelity, broad spectrum sound that belies its modest size. The V2-8 is also an excellent choice for ancillary delay applications. When used to augment a front-of-house system in such venues as auditoria, theaters and houses of worship, delay loudspeakers can significantly even out the difference in sound pressure level from the front of the room to the rear of the room. Units may be positioned for underbalcony fill, overbalcony fill, or simply placed towards the rear of the seating areas. By deploying V2-8 loudspeakers in such a manner, the system designer will have far greater control over relative levels and relative tonal response when commissioning and equalizing the installation. The V2-8 may be mounted to a wall or ceiling surface using its included yoke bracket, suspended from its M6 threaded rigging points, or installed using a third-party mounting device. It includes a rotatable horn design that allows optimal dispersion in either vertical or horizontal mounting positions.

An optional model with a built-in 100W autoformer with taps at 100W, 50W, 25W and 12.5W (model V2-8T) is also available from the factory.
