• Single Neodym ium magnet design on the coaxial transducer
• Dispersion is 90 X90. o
• Advanced crossover design makes sure the reliability of the tweeter.
• Sensitivity is 94dB, Max is SPL 115dB.
• RMS power is 150W, is peak power is 600W.
• Support flange, three mounting points.
• Pow der coated grille can be used outdoors for
• 5 years. The foam backside of the grille can prevent the rain.
• Advanced paint materials and advanced painting technology make the surface very rigid.

Description

3 MU8 is a very compact design active speaker integrated with the coaxial transducer. It consists of one 8″ Neodymium woofer with 34MM voice coil and one 1.4″ compression driver. The rated power is 150W. Asymmetrical magnet circuit design reduces the impaired HD effectively and enhances the LF sound quality. Cab it is made of 15mm birch p lywood w it h advanced environmental protection. The polyurethane-based painting is very rigid. The cabinet strength reaches 4500N. Q235 grille is coated by powder to provide strong ultra-Weatherability and can be used outdoors for 5 years. The backside foam of the grille can prevent the rain. MU8 ad o p t s t h e built-in crossover and single-channel amplifier m o d u le. MU8 is mainly designed for conference rooms, multifunctional halls, auditoriums, church, living performances. It can be used separately or can be used with MU12B together.

Applications

• multifunctional hall
• small hall
• Church
• conference room
• background music

CONNECTION

Two NL4 connectors are available for amplifier connections. The paralleled connector is very convenient for another speaker connection.

Speaker Testing Method

1. Frequency response
   Use Pink noise to test the speaker in the anechoic room, adjust the level to make the speaker work at its rated impedance and the power output is 1W, then test the frequency response 1m away from the speaker.

2. Sensitivity
   Use full range Pink noise which was modified by EQ curve to test the speaker in the anechoic room, enlarge the signal to make the speaker work at its rated impedance and the power output is 1W, then test the sensitivity 1m away from the speaker.

3. MAX.SPL
   Use full range Pink noise which was modified by EQ curve to test the speaker in the anechoic room, enlarge the signal to make the speaker work at its instant power output level, then test the SPL 1m away from the speaker.

4. Rated Power
   Use the pink noise according to IEC#268-5 to test the speaker, enlarge the signal for a continuous 100hours, the rated power is the power when the speaker will not incur hot damage or mechanics damage.
