Introducing American Audio’s New APX CS8 Column PA System with Bluetooth True Wireless Stereo
Comprising of an active subwoofer enclosure with an 8-inch driver, a column speaker with four 2.5” neodymium drivers, and two column spacers, the APX CS8 is a versatile AC powered PA system which can be used in a variety of configurations. The column speaker can be connected directly to the sub, creating a very compact full range PA setup which measures just 36.1” (916.6mm) from the ground. Alternatively, one or both of the spacers can be used to lift up the top of the column speaker to a height of 54.6” (1386.6mm) or 73.1” (1856.6mm), respectively. The spacers feature a proprietary connection system, which allows them to lock easily and securely in place, with the audio signal passed through the spacers from the sub to the column speaker meaning that no cable is required.
A class-D amplifier system is built into the sub enclosure, which has a power output of 100W RMS. This drives both the sub-woofer and column speaker array, generating well-balanced audio reproduction that is suitable both for live and recorded music. For smaller venues, a single APX CS8 is ideal for vocal performers, background music or speech amplification. Meanwhile, for larger spaces, two systems can be used simultaneously to create a stereo PA system for live music or DJ performances.
