OVERVIEW
The RMS-Acoustics C8 platform is a coaxial loudspeaker system designed to deliver output levels comparable to the highest output conventional premium 2-way systems, with superior pattern control, directional consistency and a precise transient response that only a coaxial loudspeaker can provide.
The C8 features an advanced high frequency waveguide that also acts as a phasing plug for the 8” cone loudspeaker. The horn is quite large for its size, yielding consistent pattern control and a low crossover point. The phasing plug improves the response of the cone loudspeaker minimizing the equalization and phase correction needed, thus aiding the transition between sources over the crossover band.
Its distinct enclosure design and comprehensive range of accessories make it an excellent choice for rapid deployment to almost any application, from stage monitoring, to front fills, to permanent installation.
The C8 delivers impressive SPL output, yeilding highly capable sound reinforcement from a compact and versatile package. Its impressive fidelity makes it perfectly compatible with the larger C12, M12X, M15X, and LA28 loudspeaker systems.
The C8 cabinet features an impact resistant polyurethane paint finish, and an integrated handle. The loudspeaker system is available as weatherized (-X) or in white (-W) or custom colors (-C). The weatherized option provides and IP54 rating.
