Vue Audiotechnik has unveiled the latest addition to its flagship h-Class family of sound reinforcement loudspeakers – the compact h-8.

The h-8 cabinet uses the same technologies as the larger h-12 and h-15 systems in a compact and versatile design for applications where space is at a premium and performance is critical. Inside, it combines a precision-engineered 8-inch transducer with a neodymium compression driver with a Truextent beryllium diaphragm at its core. Onboard electronics include DSP programmed to address every individual element within the h-8’s system. Dual-channel, high-efficiency amplifiers deliver ample power without using cooling fans.

SystemVue networking technology is standard in the h-8. SystemVue enables the connection of one or multiple h-8s with any Vue DSP-enabled system via a wired or wireless Ethernet connection to a Windows or Macintosh computer. Once connected, SystemVue Software provides access to a broad selection of network and device-level control and monitoring functions.

The h-8’s drivers and electronics are housed in a robust birch enclosure that includes M10 rigging points and an integrated pole-mount for portable and fixed installation.

‘The h-8 is born out of our no-compromise design philosophy,’ says Vue CEO, Ken Berger. ‘We literally re-examined everything from transducers, electronics and DSP, to mechanical deployment and remote management capabilities. It’s a comprehensive approach that can only be done when you start with a clean slate, and leverage the most advanced technologies. The net result is an exceptionally capable combination of size and versatility’
