Introduction
High performance loudspeaker
The VEXO208 is a high-output 3-way loudspeaker, providing a powerful and detailed signature sound of
the VEXO family with a dual 8-inch driver in a compact cabinet.
The combination of the elegant enclosure and high performance allows them to be used in installation
applications that require both a modern look and a unique audio experience from nightclubs to sports
facilities. Compression driver overload protection is provided through an internal limiting circuit. Mounting
in both horizontal and vertical directions is possible with the included wall bracket. An optional 70/100V
transformer module can be installed to use VEXO208 in Hi-Z systems. The VEXO208 loudspeaker is available
in Black (/B) or White (/W).
