Wharfedale Pro has added two 8-inch models to the Tourus series of plastic active loudspeakers.
The new Tourus-AX8 and the USB/Bluetooth-enabled Tourus-AX8-MBT join the Tourus 12-inch and Tourus 15-inch models that were announced in 2020.
Using the same design philosophy as the larger Tourus models, the new models have durable ABS plastic cabinets with handles, rigging points and strong full-face steel grilles to protect the custom Wharfedale Pro drivers and electronics inside. They both and pair an 8-inch LF driver with a 1.75-inch HF compression driver and deliver 250W of continuous output power. As with other models of Tourus, the system is class-D bi-amplified, and uses convection cooling to ensure audio clarity and long-term reliability.
The Tourus-AX8-MBT model also brings Bluetooth connectivity, a USB input for direct .mp3/.wav file playback and a TWS link mode, allowing for wire-free stereo pairing.
With RCA, XLR and 6.3mm jack inputs, Tourus 8-inch models have been designed to be versatile and can be used in almost any audio application.
Tourus 8-inch models are also designed to partner the recently introduced T-Sub-AX15B active subwoofer.
