AUDAC HS208TMK2 – 8" Full-Range Horn Speaker, 100V, IP65

What is the AUDAC HS208TMK2 8" full-range horn speaker?

The AUDAC HS208TMK2 is a 2-way, full-range horn loudspeaker built for long-throw speech and music projection in fixed indoor and outdoor public address systems. It pairs an 8" low-frequency driver with a 1.3" compression driver, delivers 97 dB sensitivity and 123 dB maximum SPL, and carries an IP65 ingress protection rating. A multi-tapping 100V line transformer (120 W, 60 W or 30 W) and an 8 Ω input let it run on distributed paging lines or low-impedance amplifier outputs.

How does the AUDAC HS208TMK2 8" full-range horn speaker work?

The HS208TMK2 combines an 8" woofer and a 1.3" compression driver behind a passive built-in crossover at 1.5 kHz, producing a 100 Hz – 18 kHz response (±3 dB) with high efficiency and low distortion. Its tight 40° x 40° coverage pattern focuses energy where it is needed, which makes it a strong choice for long-throw paging and announcements in large open spaces. Power is selected at the rear through tappings of 120 W / 83 Ω, 60 W / 167 Ω and 30 W / 333 Ω on a 100V line, or the speaker can run at 8 Ω directly. Connections are made on a barrier terminal block inside a waterproof connection box, and the shielded cable clamps keep moisture away from the terminals. The enclosure is a multi-layer glass composite with a textured EPDM black coating, fronted by a powder-coated aluminium grille with an acoustic foam lining that keeps rain out. With its IP65 rating and an operating range of -4 °F to 122 °F (-20 °C to +50 °C), it suits sporting facilities, distribution centres and other exposed or humid environments. Mounting brackets are not included; AUDAC specifies the optional MBK208MK2 wall mounting bracket, and the MBK200PM pole mount adapter adds pole installation. For 100V distributed systems, pair it with an AUDAC SCP-series amplifier such as the SCP224.

What are the key features of the AUDAC HS208TMK2 8" full-range horn speaker?

• Long-throw horn design — The 40° x 40° coverage pattern projects intelligible speech and music over long distances.
• Two-way driver set — An 8" low-frequency driver works with a 1.3" compression driver for full-range reproduction.
• High output — A 97 dB sensitivity and 123 dB maximum SPL cover large outdoor and industrial areas.
• Multi-tapping 100V transformer — Taps of 120 W, 60 W and 30 W let installers balance levels across a distributed line.
• 8 Ω low-impedance option — The speaker can also be driven directly from a standard low-impedance amplifier output.
• IP65 ingress protection — The sealed construction is rated IP65 for locations exposed to rain, humidity and dust.
• Waterproof connection box — A barrier terminal block sits inside a sealed box with shielded cable clamps.
• Weather-resistant construction — A glass composite housing with EPDM coating and an aluminium grille with acoustic foam resists the elements.
