At the heart of the E-IC8 is a custom-designed 8" coaxial driver that combines a 1" titanium dome tweeter with a woven fiberglass woofer in a single point source layout. This design delivers precise imaging, natural phase alignment, and consistent off-axis response – essential for realistic, immersive height effects throughout the room.
Titanium dome tweeter
Delivers extended, low-distortion highs with crisp detail and wide dispersion.
Woven fiberglass woofer
The lightweight 8” cone delivers fast transients, strong efficiency, and dynamic output. Its motor system adds deep extension and room-filling impact without distortion.
Isolated tweeter cavity
Prevents coloration by separating the tweeter from the woofer’s back wave, enhancing high-frequency clarity and detail.
The E-IC8’s crossover is tuned specifically for its coaxial geometry, ensuring natural phase alignment and a seamless transition between drivers.
Precision-tuned slopes
Tuned for sonic coherence and accurate phase, ensuring smooth response and tonal consistency across the room.
High-quality components
High-grade film capacitors, coils, and high-purity internal cabling ensure clarity and resolution.
