Y8 Loudspeaker

The Y8 line array loudspeaker is a compact, high-performance solution engineered for vertical column configurations. This 2-way passive system incorporates two 8-inch drivers arranged in a dipole format, alongside a centrally positioned 1.4-inch compression driver equipped with a precision wave transformer. Its advanced horn geometry and optimised bass-reflex porting enable full-range frequency reproduction with enhanced low-frequency output. The Y8 line array loudspeaker maintains consistent 80-degree horizontal dispersion control down to 500 Hz, ensuring precise directivity. Designed for scalability, it supports vertical arrays of up to twenty-four units with splay angles adjustable from 0 to 14 degrees in 1-degree increments. The cabinet is built from durable marine-grade plywood and finished with a weather-resistant Polyurea coating. A robust metal grille backed by acoustically transparent foam protects the front, while integrated handles and three-point rigging simplify handling and installation. The Y8 line array loudspeaker can be deployed independently or in combination with Y12 and Y-SUB models.

Optimised Line Array Performance for Professional Sound Reinforcement

 

 

The Y8 line array loudspeaker is a compact yet powerful audio module engineered for high-precision sound reinforcement in a range of professional environments. As part of the d&b audiotechnik Y-Series, the Y8 line array loudspeaker is designed for use in vertical column configurations, making it particularly suitable for medium to large-scale touring, corporate events, fixed installations, and performance venues. The unit features a passive 2-way design with two 8-inch drivers arranged in a dipole configuration and a centrally mounted 1.4-inch compression driver integrated with a waveguide, delivering controlled directivity and consistent frequency response across the listening area. The system supports vertical arrays of up to twenty-four elements with splay angles adjustable in 1-degree increments, allowing flexible adaptation to venue acoustics. The enclosure is constructed from marine-grade plywood and finished with a Polyurea coating to ensure durability under rigorous conditions. A robust metal grille with acoustically transparent foam protects the front, while integrated rigging hardware and ergonomic handles support efficient deployment. The Y8 line array loudspeaker is fully compatible with the Y12 and Y-SUB models, offering scalable configurations tailored to diverse acoustic requirements. In professional audio applications where clarity, control, and reliable performance are critical, the Y8 line array loudspeaker provides a precise and adaptable solution.
