Ideal for a wide range of sound reinforcement scenarios, especially those centered around the human voice, the VX 8.2 offers an excellent size-to-power ratio.

With one 8" full-range driver sporting optimal point-source phase coherence and an 8" LF driver for enhanced bass response, exceptional clarity and definition can be attained.
