NEXO P8 : 8 Inch Coaxial 2-Way Speaker
NEXO has always been well-know for it's compact and very powerful versatile
point source speakers, ideal in both FOH and monitor wedge applications. This
expertise is now applied to the NEXO P8, featuring a new extremely powerful
coaxial 8 inch speaker and lots of innovation, making it unique in its category.
Advanced NEXO Technology Included
The Nexo P8 enclosure uses a 15mm custom made bent plywood shell, with Poplar
veneer for the inside layers and Birch on the outside. The result is a robust
enclosure with exceptionally good sound quality and light weight.
The bass-reflex tuning is done through two computer optimized shaped ports
which guarantee ultra-low distortion even at very high volume.
Two large comfortable handles on each side (on touring version only) hold a
35mm pole stand adapter and Speakon connector for discrete connection when on
pole stand or in wedge monitor mode.
The back plate holds two other Speakon connectors.
The Installation version has a cable gland with a 2 core cable for audio input
ensuring IP54 protection.
The custom-designed coaxial driver with a 2.5 inch voice coil for the 8 inch
LF driver and a 1.5 inch diaphragm for the HF motor is the heart of the NEXO
P8 and responsible for its smooth, clean sound and impressive power.
The cooling system of the LF driver has been carefully designed to ensure outstanding
power handling for a speaker in this category.

One Box Fits All Applications
Thanks to its fully summetric design, there is no left or right version of
the P8 and all speakers in inventory can be the same.
To match even more precisely every possible application the directivity of
the P8 can be changed in seconds through the addition of an optional magnetic
horn.
As standard the NEXO P8 uses a 100x100 horn, but the front steel grille can
be quickly removed without tools (touring version only) and the optional rotatable
110x60 horn can be fitted to change the dispersion characteristics of the NEXO
P8.
For each horn a dedicatied setup is available on the NEXO NXAMP powered controller
to ensure perfect coverage at any frequency.
P8 acoustic phase response is NEXO phase signature allowing inter-operability
between all NEXO loudspeakers at all crossover points, except for the monitor
setups where latency is minimized.
