Octa 88 XH
8" Co-axial Powered Multipurpose Monitor Speaker


Product at a Glance
The Octa 88XH is an 8" coaxial powered monitor speaker designed to deliver precise and balanced audio performance for professional applications. With its optimized frequency response and coaxial design, it ensures accurate sound reproduction with minimal phase distortion, making it perfect for stage monitoring, small venue installations, and portable setups. Its wide dispersion pattern ensures consistent sound coverage, providing clear and immersive audio experiences across various environments.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Painstakingly Perfect Production

Over the years, craftsmanship has been closely linked with small scale individualistic production. Back in 1972, we started the same way. As we grew in scale & size, it was difficult to build each speaker individually, but quality control was of utmost importance as so switching to a general assembly line was simply not an option. So we wrote up a code, one quite like enigma, to ensure quality control. We selected the right partners, got the right tools, and in cases where those weren't available, we invented them. We grew slower than most as our aim was to last longer than most.
