TOA Electronics Short Throw Line Array Speaker - SR-C8S

Product Overview

The TOA SR-C8S is a short-throw 2-way line array speaker built for venues that demand high speech clarity and even sound pressure across the audience. Using TOA's wave front control technology, the SR-C8S projects a wide 110-degree horizontal pattern with a tight 15-degree vertical pattern, making this commercial AV line array well suited to reverberant rooms. It is a practical choice for auditoriums, houses of worship, and large meeting spaces where intelligibility matters.

Product Description

The SR-C8S short-throw line array pairs a single 8-inch neodymium woofer with a dual-compression-driver wave front control horn to deliver consistent coverage from front rows to back walls. The wave front control horn fixes the vertical pattern at 15 degrees, concentrating energy on the audience plane rather than reflective ceilings and floors, which improves intelligibility in difficult acoustic environments. The enclosure is constructed of plywood finished in durable black urethane paint, and the grille is formed from a single punched steel plate, giving the speaker a clean, install-ready appearance. For larger system designs, the SR-C8S can be reconfigured for bi-amplifier drive by changing the internal connection, giving integrators added flexibility. As a 2-way commercial-grade line array, it integrates cleanly into installed sound systems alongside TOA amplifiers and processors. If you are comparing throw distances, the long-throw counterpart in this family is also available; browse the full TOA line array range at Creation Networks. The SR-C8S is a dependable building block for permanent installations that need uniform, articulate sound.
