OctaLine 88 H
8" Powered, Two-Way Full Range Multi-Purpose Speaker
Product at a Glance
The OctaLine 88 H is a powerful 8" active speaker built for professional use in versatile sound environments demanding precision, clarity, and consistent output. With a bi-amplified Class-H architecture delivering 2000W and a 24-bit DSP processor, it ensures accurate frequency balance, optimized voicing, and dynamic headroom for live, monitor, or playback applications. Housed in a rugged birchwood cabinet with a scratch-resistant polyurea coating, it is protected by a stainless-steel grill lined with acoustic foam for durability without sonic compromise. M10 flying inserts and a 35mm pole mount enable flexible placement, while its sleek, road-ready design guarantees powerful, distortion-free performance across any stage or venue.
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.
