The new SP-8.1P handles up to 150W at 8Ω, with a sensitivity of 95dB (1W@1m) and a frequency response of 43Hz-180Hz (-10dB) to provide audiences with powerful audio experiences. The subwoofers DSP voice presets provide frequency response tailoring, delay and crossover settings with Ashly’s IS & AW speakers with AquaControl and Protea-equipped processors.

For more flexibility, the system the subwoofer can be hung with the SP-8.1P’s 10mm threaded bolt holes along the top, sides and rear to accommodate optional hanging eye-bolts.

Ashly Audio executive vice president of sales and marketing Noel Larson says: “With the addition of the 8-inch subwoofer to our SP Series, we enable sound system integrators to tailor unique audio experiences to their customers. The compact size of the SP-8.1P allows for installation in areas where a larger subwoofer wouldn’t typically fit. We stand by our commitment to create complete and integrated solutions for everyone – from storefronts and restaurants, to houses of worship and schools – and the addition of the SP-8.1P offers possibility for more installations in more places.”
