The Sound Barrier NX8M is a compact, passive two-way speaker system featuring an 8-inch low-frequency (LF) driver with a 2-inch voice coil and a 1-inch high-frequency (HF) driver mounted on a 90° x 50° horn that can be easily rotated for either horizontal or vertical orientation, depending on the venue’s requirements. Despite its small size, the Sound Barrier NX8M delivers impressive output capabilities.
As a standalone loudspeaker, the NX8M can be used in various professional settings, including distributed sound reinforcement, houses of worship (HoW), AV events, frontfill/infill, and even as a micro-stage monitor. When paired with an NX subwoofer, it becomes an ideal, user-friendly system for portable setups and installations that demand unobtrusive design while delivering pristine sound over short to medium distances. While the NX8M can function as a full-range passive two-way system without additional processing, using a controller/processor enhances its capabilities.
Constructed from 15mm birch plywood, the Sound Barrier NX8M features a screw-free steel grille, M8 inserts for wall brackets, eyebolt suspension, pole-mount socket and is finished in black textured paint.
