ASHLY IS2.8PW 8 x 2" Passive Dual-Z Focused Directivity Column Speaker (Single, White)

Product Overview

The Ashly IS2.8PW is the white-finish variant of the IS2.8P passive Dual-Z Focused Directivity column speaker, delivering identical audio performance in an enclosure suited to light-colored architectural spaces. Eight 2" neodymium drivers produce 120W continuous output with a 190° ultra-wide horizontal dispersion and controlled 30° vertical directivity — a combination that achieves consistent speech intelligibility across conference rooms, training rooms, and commercial meeting spaces without prominent ceiling reflections. The switchable 8 Ω / 32 Ω impedance enables distributed multi-speaker configurations without external transformers, and Ashly DSP Voice Presets streamline commercial column speaker installation.

Product Description

The IS2.8PW carries all the technical attributes of the IS2.8P — Ashly's compact Dual-Z column speaker for small to mid-size commercial rooms — in a white polymer-coated all-metal enclosure. At 24 inches tall, it fits neatly beside white flat-panel displays, along white-painted walls, and in architecturally sensitive spaces where black hardware would appear intrusive. The ultra-wide 190° horizontal dispersion means a single IS2.8PW can cover a full conference table width without aiming adjustments.

The dual-impedance switch (8 Ω / 32 Ω) allows multiple IS2.8PW speakers to be distributed per amplifier channel without transformer losses or added cost, making it an efficient choice for scalable commercial paging or background music systems. Two IS2.8PW units can be vertically stacked with the optional ISJP2B joining plate for larger room coverage. Flush wall brackets are included; IS-series pole mounts, tripod stands, and tilt wall mounts are available as optional accessories. For full-range performance, pair with the Ashly SP8.1P or SP12.1P passive subwoofer.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the IS2.8PW identical to the IS2.8P except for color?

Yes. The IS2.8PW and IS2.8P are identical in all technical specifications. The only difference is the white polymer finish on the IS2.8PW vs. the black finish on the IS2.8P.

How many IS2.8PW speakers can I run per channel?

In 32 Ω mode, up to four IS2.8PW speakers can be run in parallel on a standard 8 Ω amplifier channel without transformer matching.

What subwoofer pairs with the IS2.8PW?

The Ashly SP8.1PW (white) or SP12.1PW (white) passive subwoofers are the natural pairings for a color-matched system. Use the ISPM1B or ISPM6B pole to mount the column on top of the sub.

What mounting accessories are compatible?

The IS2.8PW is compatible with the ISFWB2.8 fixed wall bracket, ISPM1B and ISPM6B speaker poles, ISTR7B 7-foot tripod, and ISTWMB tilt wall mount. Flush brackets are included in the box.
