Feature 1
Wide, consistent coverage: Cylindrical wave behaviour and a carefully voiced array deliver even sound into the far corners while reducing room reflections.
Feature 2
Plug‑and‑play simplicity: Onboard mic/line/Hi‑Z inputs and straightforward controls enable confident setups without complex wiring.
Feature 3
Portable power, built to last: A rugged sub base, lightweight columns, and a quick‑lock interface provide fast assembly, reliable stability, and easy transport.

Engineered as a complete sound solution, M-A8 blends authority and finesse in a sleek, portable format. A powerful subwoofer base mates with two lightweight column elements to create a coherent, full-range system. The array’s cylindrical wave behaviour provides wide horizontal dispersion with smooth off‑axis response, helping reduce floor and ceiling reflections. The result is consistent, intelligible sound from the front row to the back—ideal for spoken word, vocals, and music alike. Thanks to carefully tuned signal processing and dedicated amplification per section, M-A8 remains balanced and articulate from quiet background levels to energetic live sets. Designed to make life easy on stage and on site, M-A8 requires virtually no product training: connect power, plug in your source, set your levels, and go. Onboard inputs accommodate microphones, instruments (Hi‑Z), and line‑level players, so small events often need no separate mixer. For performers, the wide horizontal coverage and gentle off‑axis level roll‑off provide clear monitoring from the main system position, reducing the need for extra wedges and helping to keep feedback at bay. When more low‑frequency headroom is required, additional extension subwoofers can be added and set to follow the main system’s processing for scalable performance across different venue sizes. Purpose-built mechanics support fast, reliable deployment. The patented connection interface lets you assemble or dismantle the three-part system in seconds, while durable finishes and robust cabinetry stand up to life on the move. Optional accessories—such as a backpack for the columns and a dolly board for the sub—streamline transport and protect your investment, whether you’re gigging nightly or supporting a busy event schedule.
