Nothing else is required between your source and the sound. At Soundium it is the full-size active option for people who want floorstander weight without a floorstander, an amplifier rack or a subwoofer in the corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4 x 75 W of Class D power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each driver gets its own PWM Class D channel, which is what separates a true active design from a two-amp powered speaker.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-inch coaxial Power Monitor design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 1-inch titanium dome compression tweeter sits inside the paper woofer motor, so the woofer also loads the tweeter like a horn and lifts its efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput below 40 Hz:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 Hz at -6 dB from dual front ports, which is subwoofer territory from the main speakers themselves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHDMI eARC for the TV:\u003c\/strong\u003e One cable to the television, with automatic power-up on every input except Bluetooth and phono.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD, aptX Low Latency and AAC:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 24-bit\/192 kHz resolution over wireless.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePro and analogue inputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR\/6.35 mm combo, RCA with switchable phono MM stage, optical digital and USB-C for a computer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree voicings plus tone control:\u003c\/strong\u003e Music, film and neutral profiles, with left\/right assignment and bass and treble trim on the rear buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSub out and 35 mm pole socket:\u003c\/strong\u003e Room for a subwoofer if you insist, and stand or pole mounting when the shelf is not an option.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCustomer Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost systems that play this loud and this low are three or four separate purchases: speakers, amplifier, subwoofer, cables. The M8C Active collapses that into one. Kick drums land with the weight you expect from a much larger setup, film soundtracks keep their low end without a box in the corner, and the wide dispersion of the coaxial driver means you do not have to sit in one exact chair to hear it properly. Switch to the neutral voicing and the same pair works as a monitor for mixing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Active 2-way coaxial, bass reflex with dual front ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmplification:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 x 75 W, PWM-driven Class D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 Hz - 24 kHz (-6 dB); 39.5 Hz - 22 kHz (-3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWoofer:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8-inch paper cone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTweeter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-inch titanium dome, coaxial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWireless:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bluetooth 5.1, up to 24-bit\/192 kHz, AAC \/ aptX HD \/ aptX Low Latency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e HDMI eARC, XLR\/6.35 mm combo, optical digital, USB-C, RCA line\/phono MM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions (H x W x D):\u003c\/strong\u003e 44.3 x 29.0 x 27.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24.29 kg per pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandby power:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under 0.5 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black synthetic leather or Oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x Vestlyd M8C Active speakers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower cable (3 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeaker cable (5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB-C cable (1.5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemote control with AAA batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUse Cases \/ Ideal For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium and large living rooms where the system has to carry music, film and gaming on its own.
