Description
CONTOUR X – CX 8 – Passive multifunctional speaker
The CX 8 is a particularly compact but extremely powerful and flexible point source. Remarkable features of the CX 8 include its above-average efficiency and deep frequency spectrum. Top-quality components and the sophisticated crossover guarantee precise signal resolution and high maximum sound pressure levels.
A high-frequency horn newly developed using BEM simulation ensures even directivity up to the very highest frequencies.
