The Blackline F8+ is a versatile, two-way passive system designed for applications where high output is required from an ultra-compact enclosure. It features a long-excursion, 8" (200mm) low frequency driver and a 1" (25mm) HF compression driver mounted on a constant directivity 90° x 50° horn. The horn is user rotatable to allow the F8+'s multi-angle enclosure to be used in either its vertical or horizontal orientation, depending on the application.
Special attention has been given to the high excursion requirement of the LF driver and a demodulating ring has been added to reduce intermodulation distortion and improve midrange clarity, ensuring the sound balance of the speaker remains consistent throughout a range of power inputs. The directivity of the LF driver has been matched to the HF horn through the crossover region by a combination of optimisation of the water-resistant LF cone profile and improved crossover design. Where extra low frequency output is required, sub-bass systems such as the Blackline S12+ or S15+ may be added. The F8+ enclosure is provided with ten M8 inserts and four M6 bracket inserts for a variety of mounting arrangements. It is also provided with a top hat fitting for use with a speaker stand or as a pole socket for mounting above a Blackline+ subwoofer. Use of a controller with the F8+ is optional. For demanding applications, an M3+ or DX1 controller configured to perform EQ and limiter functions is recommended.
