James Loudspeaker QX820 - 2-Way 8" Quad Tweeter Array

Product Overview

The James Loudspeaker QX820 is a 2-way 8-inch quad tweeter in-wall array speaker designed for commercial AV installations that need substantial output and full low-frequency reach from an in-wall format. As an in-wall quad-tweeter array, it pairs a single 8-inch woofer with a four-tweeter array to broaden high-frequency dispersion across large spaces. This passive in-wall speaker suits auditoriums, large conference rooms, retail floors, and architectural audio designs. The QX820 is part of the James Loudspeaker quad-tweeter array family.

Product Description

The QX820 offers the largest single-woofer format in the 2-way QX series, with an 8-inch driver delivering deeper low-frequency response and higher output than the 6.5-inch QX620. Its quad-tweeter array spreads high-frequency energy evenly so vocals and program material remain clear for listeners across wide and deep rooms. The 8-inch woofer makes it well suited to foreground music and speech reinforcement where greater headroom is required. Because the QX820 operates passively, it integrates with standard commercial amplifiers and distributed audio systems specified throughout the industry. Integrators often pair it with the QX620 for smaller adjacent zones or move to the 3-way dual 8-inch QX830 where the highest output and extended response are needed. Explore the complete range in the James Loudspeaker collection to match models to room size and coverage goals. Pre-construction brackets simplify rough-in framing and flush-mount finishing during construction or renovation.
