DESCRIPTION
The ART 708-A MK II presents high fidelity sound reproduction, careful
acoustic design, high quality neodymium transducers, very compact size
cabinet and very linear and precise frequency response which is perfect for
voice monitoring and amplification.
ART 708-A MK II is equipped with a new generation of 800 Watt Digital
Amplifier, 600 Watt for the woofer and 200 Watt for the compression
driver. The result of this is very high output, extremely low distortion and
an incredible natural sound. The amplifier presents both XLR/jack (Combo)
balanced inputs, XLR output link, volume and a switchable EQ Mode (Flat/
Boost). The amplifier features a solid mechanical aluminium structure which
not only stabilize the amplifier during transportation but also assist in the
heat dissipation.
ART 708-A MK II amplifier is mounted on an aluminium plate that integrates
the rubber-coated aluminium top handle. This structure design results in a
stronger and easy to transport cabinet.
All the transducers in the Art 7 Series speakers feature light weight
neodymium magnets in order to guarantee a better performance and make
for easier transportation. The compression driver uses a 1” throat diameter
titanium dome featuring a vented suspension and is powered from a massive
high flux neodymium magnet and an edge wound 1,5” aluminium voice coil.
This top class driver offers a high output, transparent midrange sound and
clarity in high frequencies reproduction.
ART 708-A MK II features a 8” inch woofer that, with a 2” inside-outside
aluminium coil and a powerful magnetic structure, guarantees a fast and
accurate mid-bass frequency range.
The loudspeaker design looks aggressive whilst retaining familiar Art
ergonomics and is the result of extensive combined functional and acoustic
research.
ART 708-A MK II features two M10 threated fly points, one at the top one at
the bottom, for installation purposes with vertical “U” bracket.
A steel front grille is provided with a special foam on the inside. The amplifier
presents both XLR/Jack (combo) balanced inputs and XLR output link.
The back shape of the speaker is ideal also for monitoring, in left or right
position.
