Overview
The Qi8 is the workhorse of Quest's Qi Series: an 8 inch two way point source for larger restaurants, lounges, retail floors, school halls, church auditoriums and multipurpose rooms. A 1 inch compression driver on a rotatable 90 x 70 degree horn sits over an 8 inch woofer in a marine plywood cabinet with polyurea coating.
At 8 ohm and 200 W RMS, with 123.2 dB maximum SPL, a pair on a Quest QX or QXD amplifier handles speech and music in a medium room, and a distributed set covers a large hall. Mount it with the HBRQi8, VBRQi8 or WMQi8, add a Qi12S for low end, or choose the Qi8E for outdoors. Available in black or white.

Forefront Tip
In a long hall, a front pair plus a delayed pair halfway back sounds clearer than one pair turned up loud. Run the Qi8 from a QXD amplifier so you can set the delay and preset in one place, and use Qi8E on any outdoor area so the sound matches.
