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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC HS208TMK2 8\" full-range horn speaker work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/HS208MKII.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC HS208TMK2 8 inch full-range horn speaker\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-mbk208mk2-b-mounting-bracket-for-hs208mk2-and-hs208tmk2-black-version\"\u003eMBK208MK2 wall mounting bracket\u003c\/a\u003e, and the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-mbk200pm-b-hs-series-pole-mount-adapter-plate-for-use-with-mbk208mk2-and-mbk212mk2\"\u003eMBK200PM pole mount adapter\u003c\/a\u003e adds pole installation.
