Currently only located on the west coast. The L-Acoustics X8 is a compact, coaxial 2-way passive enclosure designed for live monitoring and short-throw reinforcement where low visual impact and accurate on-stage reference are required. Its coaxial 1.5" compression driver and 8" low-frequency transducer share an axis, providing smooth tonal balance and consistent coverage across the listening area.

Key Features

• Coaxial 2-way passive design for coherent point-source imaging and even frequency response.
• Usable bandwidth 60 Hz to 20 kHz, useful for vocals, instruments, and foldback applications.
• Maximum SPL 129 dB (X8 preset), suitable for high-SPL monitoring without excessive size.
• Axisymmetric 100° nominal directivity with a 35° monitoring angle for controlled dispersion on stage.
• Low-frequency 1 × 8" driver in a bass-reflex cabinet with laminar L-Vents to reduce port noise at high levels.
• High-frequency 1 × 1.5" neodymium compression driver for clear upper range detail.
• Passive crossover with custom filters; amplification and protection are provided when driven by L-Acoustics LA4X or LA8 controllers.
• Nominal impedance 8 Ω. Net weight 12 kg (26.5 lb), compact and portable.

Use Cases

• Stage monitoring for small to mid-sized performances.
• Short-throw front fill or nearfield reinforcement in theater and corporate events.
• Situations where minimal visual impact and coherent point-source sound are priorities.
