RCF Compact M 08 - 200W 8-inch Passive 2-Way Installation Loudspeaker with 90 x 70-Degree Coverage in Black Finish

The RCF Compact M 08 is a high-performance passive two-way loudspeaker designed for a wide range of professional applications. Known for its impressive SPL output and superior sound clarity, the M 08 excels in environments where intelligibility and high-quality audio are essential. Whether used in restaurants, retail shops, corporate spaces, or as part of a high-powered DJ setup, this speaker provides both background and foreground audio with exceptional fidelity. The speaker's versatility, coupled with its compact dimensions and stylish design, makes it ideal for installations with architectural constraints.

With a frequency range spanning from 60 Hz to 20,000 Hz, the M 08 covers the full audio spectrum, ensuring balanced and smooth sound reproduction. The speaker's 200W RMS power handling and peak power handling of 800W make it capable of reaching maximum sound pressure levels of 124 dB, making it suitable for larger venues or high-output environments. Despite its high SPL, the M 08 maintains low distortion, even at higher volumes, ensuring a clean, dynamic sound across all frequencies.

The M 08 features a high-power 8" woofer and a 1.4" voice coil compression driver. This combination allows the speaker to produce tight bass and clear highs with remarkable efficiency. The woofer's oversized voice coil ensures better thermal dissipation, while the compression driver's wave-guided design provides clear and accurate high-frequency response. This system delivers a smooth, wide frequency response with exceptional midrange and high-end clarity, making it perfect for near-field listening applications, where sound intelligibility is crucial.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the M 08 features a constant directivity coverage of 90° horizontal and 70° vertical, ensuring even sound distribution across a wide area. This makes the speaker well-suited for various setups, whether in a wall-mounted configuration or placed on a stand or ceiling. Its high system sensitivity (95 dB) allows the M 08 to perform at its best, providing loud, clear sound even in acoustically challenging environments.

The speaker is housed in a high-quality plywood cabinet, which offers both durability and acoustic efficiency. The steel front grille with clothing provides protection to the internal components while adding to the speaker's sleek aesthetic. Available in both black (RAL 9005) and white (RAL 9003) finishes, the M 08 blends seamlessly into any environment, whether for professional audio installations or aesthetic-sensitive spaces.

Installation of the M 08 is simple and efficient. With multiple mounting points available on the rear, top, and bottom panels, the speaker can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or stands, providing flexibility for different installation needs. The included Euroblock connectors facilitate easy wiring and integration into audio systems, and the speaker is CE compliant, ensuring it meets safety standards for commercial use.

With its excellent performance, stylish design, and versatile installation options, the RCF Compact M 08 is the ideal choice for anyone looking for a compact, high-quality speaker for a variety of professional audio applications.
