The Rx8 is engineered as a high-efficiency, high-fidelity coaxial loudspeaker, delivering an output capability typically associated with significantly larger systems. This transducer achieves an impressive output-to-size ratio through its high efficiency and horn-loaded HF compression driver. Its wide 90° x 75° coverage pattern proves particularly advantageous in confined areas. The RX8’s design features a compact, horizontal enclosure, enabling discreet mounting near walls or ceilings, beneath balconies, or along stage fronts, minimizing visual obstruction. Its diminutive size also facilitates seamless integration within a venue’s architectural design, ideal when concealed audio sources are desired. For installation versatility, the RX8 incorporates multiple M6 and VESA mounting points, compatible with the optional Fulcrum UB-RX8 yoke bracket or various third-party mounting solutions. Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ™ processing is fundamental to the RX8’s performance. This sophisticated integration of innovative acoustical engineering and cutting-edge digital signal processing results in exceptional audio clarity and precise transient response, even at elevated sound pressure levels. The necessary digital signal processing is compatible with a range of supported platforms.
Key Features of the RX8 Loudspeaker
The RX8 loudspeaker stands out due to a combination of features meticulously engineered for superior audio performance in a compact form factor. Its coaxial design ensures a coherent and consistent sound field, crucial for high-fidelity audio reproduction. The high-efficiency transducer maximizes sound output relative to its size, making it remarkably powerful for its dimensions. Furthermore, the inclusion of a horn-loaded HF compression driver contributes to its high output capability and controlled directivity, ensuring focused sound projection. The 90° x 75° coverage pattern is specifically designed to provide broad and even sound dispersion, essential for effectively covering listening areas, particularly in tighter spaces or when used for near-field applications. The compact and horizontally oriented enclosure of the RX8 allows for unobtrusive placement in a variety of architectural settings, blending seamlessly into diverse environments.
Versatile Applications of the RX8
The RX8 is a versatile audio solution suitable for a wide array of applications where space is at a premium but high-quality sound is essential. It excels in scenarios demanding moderately high SPLs (Sound Pressure Levels) within space-constrained environments. Speech reproduction is exceptionally natural and intelligible on the RX8, maintaining clarity even when listeners are positioned off-axis from the loudspeaker. Its low-frequency extension down to 82 Hz allows for seamless integration with subwoofers, creating a full-range audio system capable of reproducing music with depth and impact. Consequently, the RX8 is an ideal choice for delay fill systems, background music distribution, and primary speech reinforcement in various venues. These venues include houses of worship, theaters, restaurants, nightclubs, museum kiosks, and theme parks, demonstrating its adaptability across diverse audio requirements.
Conclusion
In summary, the RX8 coaxial loudspeaker provides a compelling combination of high-fidelity audio performance, surprising output capability, and a compact form factor. Its design and features make it an excellent solution for installations requiring premium sound quality without sacrificing space or visual aesthetics. Whether for critical listening environments or general audio reinforcement, the RX8 delivers exceptional clarity and versatility.
