Wharfedale Pro Tourus AX8 250W Active 8" PA Speaker

The Wharfedale Pro Tourus-AX8 is an 8-inch two-way active PA loudspeaker engineered for demanding performance environments, delivering a huge sound from a compact, road-ready cabinet. At its core, this speaker features a sophisticated bi-amplified Class D system, pushing a total of 250 W continuous power (500 W Peak) that is finely tuned for its custom LF and HF drivers.

Crucially, the Tourus-AX8 ensures sparkling, accurate highs by employing a class-leading 1.75-inch HF compression driver, a feature typically found in higher-tier systems. Designed for reliability and silent operation, the internal amplification uses highly efficient convection cooling to eliminate fans, avoiding operational noise and potential mechanical failure.

Housed in a durable, injection-moulded polypropylene enclosure with a full-face steel grille, the speaker is ready for the rigours of DJ sets, live bands, and permanent installations, offering exceptional power and clarity at a competitive price point.
