Ellipse 8

A fully time-aligned, 3-way active system utilising Dual Concentric™ plus SuperTweeter™ drive units, the Ellipse 8 has a frequency response extending to above 50kHz for monitoring of wideband programme material.

Features

• A fully time-aligned, 3-way active system utilising Dual Concentric™ plus SuperTweeter™ drive units, the Ellipse 8 has a frequency response extending to above 50kHz for monitoring of wideband programme material.
• Ninety degree horizontal dispersion gives you a wide sweet spot for practical working across the console, while analogue signal processing achieves an exceptionally flat frequency response in use.
• Discrete MOSFET power amplifiers, with generous power supply, provide more than ample power with extremely low noise and distortion.
• The unique cabinet shape not only has a striking appearance but is inherently stiff. Constructed of laminated birch with a massive MDF baffle and rear panel, the enclosure is non-resonant acoustically and mechanically.
