D&B audiotechnik E8 – Coaxial Compact Loudspeaker (Pair with Mounting Hardware)

The E8 is a compact, high-performance two-way coaxial loudspeaker featuring an 8″ low-frequency driver and a 1″ high-frequency compression driver. Its rotatable constant-directivity horn enables flexible horizontal or vertical deployment, making it suitable for speech, music, and stage monitoring applications.

System & Mounting Hardware

• Comes as a pair of E8 loudspeakers
• Includes compatible mounting hardware:
  • Flying bracket attachments (e.g. Z5350 series flying brackets)
  • Horizontal and vertical brackets with M10-threaded inserts
