Introduction
High performance loudspeaker
The VEXO208 is a high-output 3-way loudspeaker, providing a powerful and detailed signature sound of the VEXO family with a dual 8-inch driver in a compact cabinet.

Compression driver overload protection is provided through an internal limiting circuit. Mounting in both horizontal and vertical directions is possible with the included wall bracket. An optional 70/100V transformer module can be installed to use VEXO208 in Hi-Z systems. The VEXO208 loudspeaker is available in Black (/B) or White (/W).
