Overview
The Hawk 8-2 is a versatile loudspeaker engineered to perform equally well as part of a larger system or as a standalone solution across a wide range of environments. Like the 6-2, it employs a classic two-way design featuring dual 1″ soft dome source tweeters and an 8″ transducer. With its larger diaphragm and increased output capability, the Hawk 8-2 confidently handles more demanding venues — from intimate cafés and basement jazz clubs to busy rooftop bars and larger hospitality spaces.
Delivering a usable bandwidth of 65Hz–20kHz, the Hawk 8-2 provides clear, controlled performance with impressive low-frequency extension for its size. When greater low-end impact or higher overall output is required, pairing with a subwoofer such as the Harrier SW15 extends system response down to a powerful 32Hz.
M10 rigging points on the cabinet sides support flexible mounting configurations, while the optional U-bracket can be fitted in either portrait or landscape orientation. Four rear-mounted M6 rigging points accommodate adjustable wall brackets, and an integrated 35mm pole mount allows seamless deployment with our subwoofer range.
