SSOUNDS M-8W
8″ two-way coaxial outdoor loudspeaker, IP56, 120° × 120°, 124 dB peak.
The M-8W is the smaller weatherised coaxial: an 8″ coaxial driver with a 1″ high-frequency driver, rated IP56, covering a wide 120° by 120° from 80 Hz to 20 kHz at −10 dB with 124 dB peak at 1 m. Wide coverage from one point suits the positions where a speaker has to fill an area close to it: terraces, walkways, entrances, pool surrounds and outdoor seating. W marks the weatherised model, as it does on the LC columns.
M stands for Modular. One install and portable platform from the smallest fill cabinet to the fifteen-inch point source, with the subwoofers and columns that go with them, on a single amplifier and bracket language.

Measurement conditions
- Maximum SPL is the peak level at 1 m, driven with pink noise at crest factor 4 to the clipping point of the recommended amplifier, with the SSOUNDS system preset applied. Full-range enclosures are specified under free-field conditions; figures marked half-space are specified over a reflecting plane, the condition subwoofers are deployed in, which adds approximately 6 dB.
- Frequency response is specified on axis at 1 m in a free field. The tolerance the figure is referenced to is stated alongside it; where no tolerance is given, the figure is the −6 dB bandwidth.
- Sensitivity is specified at 1 W into the nominal impedance at 1 m on axis, averaged across the pass band of the enclosure.
- Coverage angles are nominal −6 dB values averaged across the pass band. Per-octave directivity data is available from SSOUNDS system design support for prediction and modelling.
- Power handling is rated to AES2 using pink noise with a 6 dB crest factor over a two-hour period. Programme power is twice the AES rating; peak power is four times.
- Nominal impedance is the manufacturer's rating for amplifier load calculation; minimum impedance across the operating band may be lower.
- All figures are typical values for production units specified under the conditions above. Individual units may vary within published tolerances.
