Know before you buy
Yes, this is a passive loudspeaker, meaning it does not have a built-in amplifier. You will need to connect it to an external power amplifier to drive the signal.
The included U-bracket is designed for flexible positioning, allowing you to tilt the speaker for optimal sound dispersion. However, it is primarily intended for wall-mounted installations.
No, the ARQIS 208BK is designed specifically for permanent indoor installations. Its wooden cabinet construction is not weather-resistant and should be kept in a climate-controlled environment.
The dual 8-inch configuration provides a punchy, clear low-end response that is well-suited for background music or speech reinforcement in commercial spaces. It offers a balanced sound profile that maintains clarity even at higher volumes.
The unit measures approximately 11 by 24 by 9.6 inches and weighs about 32 pounds. Ensure your mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the weight and that you have enough clearance for the U-bracket adjustment.
