Vue Audiotechnik has extended its h-Class family of loudspeakers with the h-208 that includes on board VueDrive system electronics.
The two-way loudspeaker includes a 3-in diameter large-format compression driver that features a Truextent beryllium diaphragm and a Neodymium magnet as well as a 70- x 45-degree (H x V) horn.
The compression driver is joined by two 8-in transducers with 3-in (75 mm) voice coils. It has an impregnated linen surround, curvilinear cone and high-coercivity ferrite magnet circuit.
On board VueDrive electronics include a 64-bit digital processor that handles EQ, time alignment, crossover management, speaker protection, and SystemVue network control and monitoring functions. A dual-channel amplifier delivers 1600 watts LF, and 275 watts HF power long-term with more than 3,000 watts burst output. It boasts Class D design and offers worldwide compatibility with universal mains operation from 85V to 260V.
All transducers and VueDrive electronics are housed in a birch enclosure that includes integrated M10 hanging points as well as the h-Class’ deep red multi-layered powder coated grill. A U-bracket yoke is provided as standard and it features a built-in stand mount for portable applications.
