Vonyx SL28 - 2-Way Passive PA Speaker with Dual 8" Woofers and 800W

Vonyx SL28 - 2-Way Passive PA Speaker with Dual 8" Woofers and 800W

The Vonyx SL28 is presented as a robust, professional audio solution, designed for those seeking a perfect balance between power, portability, and sound fidelity. This passive loudspeaker stands out for its 2-way trapezoidal configuration, incorporating a dual 8-inch (20 cm) woofer design that maximizes sound pressure and bass response compared to traditional single-cone systems. It's the ideal piece of equipment for those starting out in the world of professional sound, offering reliable performance in a compact design.

Built to withstand heavy use, the SL28 features a heavy-duty , noise-dampening carpeted enclosure in black, giving it a sleek and understated look while also protecting it from bumps and scratches during transport. Its metal front grille ensures the integrity of the internal components, while the Bass Reflex system optimizes airflow to deliver deep, punchy bass, complemented by a piezoelectric horn that guarantees crystal-clear, defined highs.

Versatility is key in this model. Thanks to its passive design, it allows the user to choose the appropriate amplification for their specific setup. Furthermore, its trapezoidal shape is not merely aesthetic; it allows multiple units to be grouped into an array while maintaining coherent sound dispersion, or even used as a floor monitor in small venues if the situation demands it.

Main features

• Dual woofer system: Equipped with two 8-inch speakers with large ferrite magnets, doubling the emission surface for a fuller, more powerful sound.
• High performance power: Capable of supporting peak power up to 800W , delivering dynamic sound without distortion at high volume levels.
• 2-way Bass Reflex Technology: Acoustic design that extends the frequency response in the low notes, ideal for music with a high bass presence.
• Robust construction for transport: Finished in durable carpet and protective steel mesh, with integrated handles on the sides for easy loading and unloading.
• Flexible connectivity: Rear panel equipped with 6.3mm jack inputs and gold-plated screw terminals (terminals) for clean and secure signal transmission.
• Universal mounting: Includes a standard 35mm insert cup (top hat) on the base for mounting on tripods or wall brackets.

Product benefits

The Vonyx SL28 offers a significant acoustic advantage thanks to its dual-cone configuration. By moving more air than a standard 8-inch speaker, it achieves a much greater sense of volume and presence without resorting to much heavier and bulkier 12- or 15-inch cabinets. This makes it an extremely portable option (weighing only 6.8 kg) without sacrificing the punch needed to liven up a party.

Furthermore, its durability is a major strength. The carpeting not only protects but also helps dampen unwanted resonances from the room, providing a drier, more professional sound. The inclusion of multiple connection types ensures you can integrate it into almost any existing sound system without the need for complex adapters.

Use cases

This speaker box is extremely versatile and adapts to multiple scenarios:

• Mobile DJs and private events: Perfect for weddings, birthdays or house parties where power is needed but transport space is limited.
• Rehearsal and monitoring rooms: Ideal for bands that need to hear their mix clearly without taking up the entire space of the venue.
• Fixed installations in bars and pubs: Its compact size and discreet aesthetics allow it to be hung or mounted on tripods without disrupting the aesthetics of the place.
• Karaoke Systems: The clarity of the piezoelectric trumpet makes the voices stand out above the music, essential for karaoke.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Do I need an amplifier to use this speaker?
  Yes, the Vonyx SL28 is a passive speaker, which means it requires an external amplifier to operate.
• Can I connect it directly to a computer or mixing console?
  Not directly. The signal must first pass through a power amplifier. Connecting a mixing console directly to this speaker without amplification will produce no sound.
• What type of cable do I need?
  You can use standard stripped speaker wire for the screw terminals or cables with a 6.3mm mono jack connector, depending on your amplifier's output.
• Is it suitable for outdoor use?
  Although it is sturdy, it is not waterproof. It can be used outdoors in dry weather or under cover, but should not be exposed to rain or extreme humidity.
