The Y8 is a compact 2-way passive line array module designed for vertical column arrays used in rental and production environments. It combines focused horizontal coverage with extended low-frequency output, and a rugged enclosure intended for repeated touring and installation use.

Key Features

• Controlled horizontal directivity: 80° nominal horizontal dispersion, maintained down to 500 Hz for predictable audience coverage.
• High performance transducers: Two 8" neodymium drivers in a dipole arrangement and a 1.4" exit compression driver with wave transformer for clear mid/high response.
• Extended LF output: Advanced bass-reflex port design delivers strong low-frequency performance for a cabinet this size.
• Array flexibility: Vertical splay angles adjustable from 0° to 14° in 1° increments, supporting arrays of up to 24 cabinets when flown.
• Durable touring construction: Marine plywood enclosure with impact- and weather-resistant PCP (Polyurea Cabinet Protection) finish, rigid metal grille backed by acoustically transparent foam, and integrated handles and recessed grips.
• Integrated rigging: Three-point rigging hardware built into the enclosure for safe and repeatable arraying.
• Power and impedance: Nominal impedance 8 Ω, power handling 400 W RMS (1600 W peak, 10 ms).

Use Cases

• Medium to large indoor and outdoor concerts and events where precise horizontal coverage and scalable vertical pattern control are required.
• Corporate, theater, and fixed-install rental jobs that need compact line array elements that can be combined with Y12 and Y-SUB cabinets.
• Touring productions that prioritize durable enclosures and integrated rigging for efficient load-in and deployment.
