Inheriting the skills of the GH4, GH8 is an high-performance, ultra-compact point source element that delivers exceptional sound quality and coverage in a compact and versatile package. Featuring a 8" full-range driver with dual-cone, GH8 is capable of delivering powerful and clear sound even in challenging acoustic environments.
The unique cabinet design and cardioid dispersion pattern of GH8 ensures a much lower emission on the backside of the speaker, improving sound control, preventing loss of energy and residual noise.The result is a powerful 129dB SPL per single box. The robust stainless steel enclosure is designed to withstand even the harshest conditions, with an IP64 rating ensuring durability and reliability.
The integration of Pure Array Technology (PAT) and Slim Array Technology (SAT) showcases the GH8's commitment to a perfect balance between sleek design and powerful performance. Use it as a point source speaker for distributed audio applications or join more units together to longer arrays thanks to dedicated joining hardwares - higher performance, control and optimized sound coverage are assured.
Whether you're looking for a compact and powerful slim array element for your live performance, event, or installation, GH8 is a versatile and reliable option that delivers exceptional sound quality and durability in any setting.
Crafted to complement the GH family, the GH8 bridges the successful GH4 and the powerful GH12. Its groundbreaking performance sets a new standard into KGEAR's audio excellence.
