It is the improved 8 Ω version of the VEXO208, adding more mounting versatility and better amplifier compatibility for installed sound systems. With 800 W program power, 121 dB maximum SPL and a 62 Hz – 20 kHz response, it delivers full-range commercial audio for clubs, bars, restaurants, sports facilities and event venues from a slim cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC VEXO208I\/B dual 8\" 3-way loudspeaker work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/VEXO208I-B.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC VEXO208I\/B dual 8 inch 3-way high performance loudspeaker, black\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe VEXO208I\/B combines an 8\" coaxial driver, with a compression driver on a 1.4\" voice coil and 1\" throat, and a second 8\" low-frequency driver in a 3-way layout AUDAC calls DuoSphere Acoustics. This arrangement gives the output of a 12\" class loudspeaker from a narrow enclosure, with a consistent 96° horizontal by 100° vertical coverage pattern. An internal limiting circuit protects the compression driver from overload. Two slanted Speakon-compatible connectors on the backplate allow linkthrough to additional cabinets. The included U-bracket mounts the cabinet horizontally or vertically with -90° to +35° inclination, and a drop safety wire is supplied for secure fixed installation.
