ASHLY AW8.2T+ 8" 2-Way Surface-Mount Black Spkrs w/High Output 60W Xfmr (Pair, Black)

Product Overview

The Ashly AW8.2T+ is an IP54-rated 8-inch 2-way commercial surface-mount speaker with a built-in 70V/100V transformer, sold as a pair and priced per pair. Designed for indoor and outdoor commercial AV installation, it delivers 70W power handling at 8 Ω with a frequency response of 65 Hz to 19 kHz and a built-in constant-voltage transformer with tap adjustment up to 60W for direct integration into 70V distributed audio systems. The included tilt-swivel wall brackets allow precise directional aiming after mounting, and the Directivity-Optimized Crossover (DOC) widens the effective listening area for background music and commercial paging applications in restaurants, retail stores, lobbies, and outdoor patios.

Product Description

This listing is for a pair of AW8.2T+ speakers. The AW8.2T+ combines an 8" woofer and 0.75" silk dome tweeter in a compact, weather-resistant enclosure rated IP54 — dust-tight and protected against water splashing from any direction — making it suitable for covered outdoor areas, commercial patios, and humid interior environments such as bars, health clubs, and warehouse spaces.

The Directivity-Optimized Crossover (DOC) broadens the acoustic sweet spot, reducing the need for multiple speakers in zones where a single pair would otherwise produce uneven coverage. The built-in 70V/100V constant-voltage transformer with adjustable power taps (up to 60W) allows direct connection to 70V distributed audio systems without external transformers, simplifying installation wiring in multi-zone commercial environments. When used with Ashly DSP-enabled amplifiers and processors, Speaker Voice Presets are available for download to optimize the frequency response across the speaker's coverage angle. Wall brackets and safety cable are included. Backed by a 5-year Ashly limited warranty.
