Overview
The Harrier 8 is a compact high-performance loudspeaker engineered for exceptional clarity, detail, and control. Designed for premium hospitality, high-end playback, and critical listening environments, it delivers studio-level resolution from a remarkably compact two-way enclosure.
At the heart of the system is an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) high-frequency driver paired with a low-distortion 8″ neodymium transducer. Together, they produce fast transient response, smooth high-frequency extension, and an open, highly articulate sound character with exceptionally low distortion. The AMT is mounted within a rotatable asymmetrical waveguide, allowing consistent 90°×50° coverage in both portrait and landscape orientations.
Constructed from sustainably sourced 12mm birch plywood with a durable textured polyurea coating, the Harrier 8 includes M10 rigging points on all sides, rear-mounted M8 fixings, and an integrated 35mm pole mount for portable deployment. An optional U-bracket accommodates both portrait and landscape orientation.
