HK Audio Fineo FO 8 WHT - 400W 8-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 80 x 60-Degree Coverage and 8-Ohm Impedance in White Finish

The HK Audio Fineo FO 8 is a highly compact, passive 2-way speaker designed to deliver outstanding sound reproduction in a variety of installation environments. Featuring an 8-inch cone speaker and a 1-inch compression driver, the FO 8 is ideal for speech and near-field sound reinforcement, providing crisp, balanced mids when paired with subwoofers such as the S112, S118, or S218. Its efficient performance makes it perfect for use in smaller or architecturally complex rooms, offering flexible installation options in front-of-house or as part of a delay system.

The FO 8 is equipped with an advanced BEM-optimized constant-directivity horn from the CONTOUR X series, ensuring clear, wide coverage with a dispersion angle of 80° x 60°. This rotatable horn allows the speaker to be used in various orientations without sacrificing sound quality, providing consistent coverage regardless of placement. The FO 8 is perfect for both general-purpose audio reinforcement and for use in more specialized applications, such as immersive sound systems and small to medium-sized venue sound reinforcement. The speaker's versatility extends to its adaptability, as it can be paired with other Fineo series speakers, including the C 6 and C 10 units, to create a fully integrated line array system.

Designed with durability in mind, the FO 8 features a solid MDF cabinet with a foam-backed steel grille, ensuring robust protection while maintaining excellent sound clarity. The unit also includes a self-healing high-frequency protection circuit, enhancing the speaker's reliability during long-term use in fixed installations. For added flexibility, the FO 8 includes multiple mounting options, such as a swivel and tilt wall bracket, which allows for precise alignment and space-saving installations. Additionally, the speaker's VESA-compatible mounting options provide further flexibility for unique applications.

With its high power-handling capacity, smooth frequency response, and broad dispersion, the Fineo FO 8 is an excellent choice for those seeking a compact, reliable, and versatile speaker for various fixed-installation applications.
