Overview
The MX8 is the largest surface mount speaker in Quest's MX Series. Step up to it when a 6 inch box runs out of headroom: outdoor dining terraces, beer gardens, school quadrangles, gyms, church halls and public spaces that need more level and low end without adding a subwoofer. An 8 inch woofer and 1 inch dome tweeter reach 112 dB maximum SPL with response down to 80 Hz.
It runs at 16 ohm or on a 100V line with taps at 20, 30, 40 and 60 W. The ASA cabinet and powder coated aluminium grille are rated IP55, or IP65 with the included weatherproof connector cover. The UB1X wall bracket is included, with the UB2X ceiling bracket available separately. Available in black or white.

Forefront Tip
Mount the MX8 high and angle it down with the UB1X bracket, so the sound lands on the people rather than the neighbours. Mixing MX8s in the big outdoor area with MX6s in smaller zones on the same 100V line keeps the sound consistent as people move around.
