PS8 Loudspeaker System
PS 8 Loudspeaker
The PS8 Loudspeaker features new Nexo designed low magnetic emission Neodymium drivers. making the PS8 extremely light and compact while usable next to sensitive professional video or computer equipment. The dispersion, architecture and weight balance of the PS8 Loudspeaker are designed to provide both exceptional PA and stage monitor performance from a single product without compromise. This flexibility is realized by a proprietary constant directivity asymmetrical dispersion horn, easily rotated in four positions by the user.
Coupled with the horn's unique progressive horizontal (50° to 100°) and vertical (55°) dispersion, the most suitable pattern can be selected for vertical or horizontal PA usage or wedge monitoring. The 2-way passive 8-Ohm design uses a single amplifier channel to deliver bi-amped performance for less money, space and complexity.
Product Features
- High power system (125dB Peak SPL @ 1m) with new 8" LF and 1" HF low magnetic emission Neodymium drivers for light weight (7.5 kg, 16.5 lbs) and negligible magnetic leakage.
- Rotatable asymmetrical horn and unique cabinet architecture ensure versatility; user adaptable for both PA and stage monitoring applications.
- Two-way passive 8-Ohm design uses a single amplifier channel for simpler installation and lower cost.
- Sophisticated control electronics ensure reliable, linear operation.
- Supported with a full range of mounting and flying accessories.

LS400 Subwoofer
The LS400 Subwoofer extends the usable range of the PS8 Loudspeaker to 40 Hz, providing high performance, high power output (131 dB Peak) in an extremely compact, light weight package. The new Nexo designed shielded Neodymium 12" driver makes the LS400 usable next to sensitive video equipment. The PS8 TD's integral sub section and combined signal (PS8 and LS400) Speakon wiring ensure cost effective and simple system implementation. One LS400 is typically used with 2 PS8 loudspeakers, additional units may be used for an enhanced effect.
Product Features
- High power system (131dB Peak SPL @ 1m) with 12" VLF low magnetic emission Neodymium driver for light weight (14.6 kg, 32 lbs) and negligible magnetic leakage..
- VLF extension (to 40Hz) of PS8 Loudspeakers.
- Sophisticated control electronics ensure reliable, linear operation.
- Integral pole mount that supports 1 or 2 PS8 Loudspeakers.

PS8 TD Controller
The PS8 TD Controller is an advanced analogue processor that allows the PS8 Loudspeaker and optional LS400 Subwoofer to achieve exceptional performance from such compact packages. The PS8 TD provides crossover, sensed amplifier control and system equalisation optimised for the PS8 and LS400. One PS8 TD has two inputs and three outputs, L, R and summed sub out, minimising installation cost and complexity. Like all Nexo processors, the PS8 TD provides precision dynamic, voice coil temperature and diaphragm displacement protection through the use of selective Voltage Controlled Equalisers (VCEQs), reducing levels only at frequencies when and where necessary.
Product Features
- Precision circuits engineered for the PS8/LS400 systems permit increased sound pressure and operational reliability.
- Servo controlled VCEQs provide precise dynamic control without spectral imbalance.
- 2 inputs and 3 outputs enable a single PS8 TD to manage multiple PS8 and LS400 products.
- Comprehensive indicators and control.

PS8 AMP
The PS8 AMP is a dedicated amplifier that allows the PS8 Loudspeaker and optional LS400 Subwoofer to achieve exceptional performance from such compact packages. The integrated PS8 TDController provides crossover, sensed amplifier control and system equalisation optimised for the PS8 and LS400. Like all Nexo processors, the PS8 AMP provides precision dynamic, voice coil temperature and diaphragm displacement protection through the use of selective Voltage Controlled Equalisers (VCEQs), reducing levels only at frequencies when and where necessary.
The PS8 AMP has two inputs and three outputs, L, R and summed LSub out. The PS8 AMP Configuration switch automatically configures the PS8 AMP for 2 channel mode (LSub Off), where the PS8 AMP drives 2 to 4 PS8 Loudspeakers in stereo ( 2x 850 Watts/4 Ohms) or 3 channel mode (Lsub On), where the PS8 AMP drives 2 PS8 Loudspeakers in stereo (2 x 430 Watts/ 8 Ohms) and 1 LS400 Subwoofer (850W/ 4 Ohms) with a summed mono signal of the L+R input signals. As the output connectors are internally rewired with mode selection with full visual confirmation via LED indicators, the PS8 AMP minimising installation cost and complexity.
Product Features
- Precision circuits engineered for the PS8/LS400 systems permit increased sound pressure and operational reliability.
- Servo controlled VCEQs provide precise dynamic control without spectral imbalance.
- Automatically configured 2 or 3 channel modes allow the amplifier's 1700W power capability to be optimised for a variety of system configurations.
- Integrated TDController simplifies wiring and provides a precise match to the amplifier.
- Super silent, back to front variable speed fan.
- Comprehensive indicators and controls, inputs and outputs are all front panel mounted for easy access.
