Column 8 is a full range, passive column loudspeaker designed for commercial fixed installations where clear speech and consistent music coverage matter equally. Eight 2.2" full-range drivers in a slim, discreet cabinet deliver wide horizontal dispersion and controlled vertical directivity. 

Every Column 8 ships with the complete installation kit as standard — pan-and-tilt wall bracket, metal safety strap, IP54 weatherisation kit and spare grille cloth. No separate accessory order required. Available in black or white, and paintable to match the architecture. 

The eight-driver column produces a wide 150° horizontal pattern with a narrow 7° vertical pattern, directing sound at the listening area while rejecting the ceiling reflections that frequently make commercial rooms acoustically difficult. 

As part of the Optimal Audio ecosystem, when paired with SmartAmp and Zone, Column 8 can be installed with factory-tuned Speech and Music DSP presets accessible and controlled through WebApp, providing integrators with a ready to go system ideal for the demands of worship, conference and transport applications.
