RCF Ayra PRO8 - 140W 8-inch Powered 2-Way Studio Monitor with 110 x 70-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF Ayra PRO8 is a powerful 8-inch powered studio monitor that delivers outstanding clarity and precision in any listening environment, whether in small or large production facilities. This monitor is designed to provide engineers, producers, and sound professionals with an accurate and neutral tool for analyzing recordings and optimizing mixes. The Ayra PRO8 integrates a dedicated internal DSP (digital signal processor) that optimizes both frequency response and dynamics, combined with the exclusive RCF FiRPHASE technology. This makes it the first studio monitor in its class to achieve an exceptional 0° phase response, ensuring transparent sound, perfect stereo imaging, and impeccable detail across the entire frequency spectrum.

At the heart of the Ayra PRO8 is an 8-inch composite fiberglass woofer, engineered to deliver tight, accurate low-frequency reproduction. The voice coil winding is optimized for an extended low-frequency range, ensuring that even the lowest notes are handled with precision and clarity. The woofer's composite fiberglass cone design provides excellent rigidity, damping, and durability, making it ideal for demanding studio applications. The 1-inch ferrofluid-cooled soft dome tweeter complements the woofer, delivering smooth and detailed high frequencies. Together, the drivers provide a balanced, full-range sound with exceptional clarity.

With FiRPHASE processing, the Ayra PRO8 provides perfect phase response, resulting in transparent sound that allows every detail of the mix to be heard clearly. The low distortion Class-D amplifiers (100W for the low frequencies and 40W for the high frequencies) ensure that the monitor operates efficiently with minimal distortion, even at high output levels. The internal soft limiter protects the transducers from extreme clipping, preserving the integrity of the sound while preventing damage to the drivers. This studio monitor also features a low-distortion, frontal vented port design that further reduces unwanted noise and distortion during playback.

The Ayra PRO8 is designed with ease of use and flexibility in mind. It features adjustable high- and low-frequency controls, allowing users to fine-tune the sound for specific room acoustics or personal preferences. The monitor is equipped with various input options, including XLR, jack, and RCA connectors, supporting both balanced and unbalanced signals. The cabinet, made from high-quality MDF and finished in sleek black (RAL 9005), is both durable and acoustically optimized for professional studio use.
