RCF KX 08-A - 2000W 8-inch Powered 2-Way Point Source Loudspeaker with 90 x 70-Degree Coverage and RDNet in Black Finish

The RCF KX 08-A is a high-output, 2000W powered 2-way point source loudspeaker that combines exceptional performance, precise directivity, and advanced system integration. Designed for professional use, it features an 8-inch neodymium woofer paired with a 1.75-inch PKX titanium compression driver, delivering clear, dynamic sound. The 90° x 70° rotatable True Resistive Waveguide (TRW) ensures excellent coverage, and its flexibility allows users to adjust the coverage pattern to suit their needs. The KX 08-A excels in a variety of applications, from portable systems to permanent installations, providing optimal performance and coverage in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Powered by a high-efficiency two-channel Class D amplifier, the KX 08-A delivers 2000W peak power for maximum output with minimal distortion. Its advanced DSP engine, with FiRPHASE and BMC technologies, ensures phase-accurate sound reproduction, allowing for unparalleled clarity and precision across the frequency spectrum. The loudspeaker features RDNet networked management for remote monitoring and control, enabling system engineers to track important parameters like transducer status, temperature, limiter feedback, and more in real time. This makes the KX 08-A ideal for use in demanding, large-scale sound reinforcement applications where flexibility and control are essential.

Built with a Baltic birch plywood enclosure, the KX 08-A is designed for durability and optimal performance in any environment. The weatherproof polyurea paint provides robust protection against UV, water, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting durability even in harsh conditions. The speaker's high-strength Swedish steel rigging is designed to support secure deployment in various configurations, whether ground-stacked, pole-mounted, or flown. Additionally, the amplifier chamber is isolated from the transducers, allowing for improved heat dissipation and overall efficiency.

The KX 08-A is engineered for maximum sound output with a peak SPL of 128 dB and a frequency response of 65 Hz to 20,000 Hz. With its versatile design, compact size, and advanced DSP features, it delivers superior sound quality, making it an ideal choice for live sound, installations, and other professional applications where both portability and high performance are essential.
