MX 8

The MX 8 is a 2-way loudspeaker system with high power handling capacity. It has been designed for use as stand-alone full-range speaker or together with a passive sub woofer (e. g. the MT112) or as Mid/Hi cabinet in active multi-way sound reinforcement installations (recommended active crossover frequency: 80 - 130 Hz). The preferred crossover function is 12dB/octave Butterworth. When operating the system with 12dB/octave Butterworth, the polarity of the low-frequency signal has to be inverted to the Mid/Hi signal. Modern, active frequency crossovers and controllers, like the DYNACORD DSP 244 or the DYNACORD PowerMax 230 are automatically set to the correct polarity. The midfrequency range between 80 Hz and 4 kHz is reproduced by an DYNACORD 8" (357 794) speaker. A DYNACORD HFT 3008 (357 489) Constant Directivity Horn system handles high-frequency range audio signals above 4 kHz. Thermal breakers and halogen-protectors prevent that the loudspeaker components are damaged by critical, peaking output levels or short-term thermal overload. The enclosure of the MX 8 is made of 16 mm Mediapan. All connections of enclosure parts as well as the entire internal bracing are slotted and glued. The cabinet’s surface is coated with hard-wearing, matt black structure lacquer. Additional frontprotection for the loudspeaker systems is gained through an extremely robust, powder-coated metal grille. The terminal board of the MX 8 offers two Speakon-type connectors that ensure secure and trouble-free carrying the signal through. The MX 8 provides 14 covered M10 threaded flanges for rigging. Therefore it can be easily used in “flown” installations. Four M10 eyebolts are supplied within the package.
