Description
The Adastra BH8V-B is a 2-way background speaker built for indoor or outdoor use. It pairs an extended low frequency driver with a dome tweeter in a moulded polypropylene cabinet, working through an internal crossover network to keep the sound clean across the frequency range. With an IP44 weather resistant rating, it copes with the damp and dust you get in covered outdoor areas, garden terraces and washdown zones, making it a practical choice for both music and public address (PA) work.
You can run the speaker at 100V line or 16 Ohm, so it fits into distributed installs with long cable runs as well as smaller low impedance setups. The rotary volume tapping switch and spring terminals sit at the rear behind a protective cover, which keeps the wiring tidy and shielded from the weather. Each unit ships singly, so you can buy the exact number you need for a job rather than working around fixed pairs.
A laterally adjustable wall mounting bracket comes with every speaker. It sets to a range of pan and tilt positions, so you can aim the output where it is needed for even coverage across a space. The aluminium grille and 120 degree dispersion angle round out a speaker that suits shops, cafes, bars, sports venues and general background music jobs where reliable, good quality sound matters more than volume. The black finish keeps it discreet against most walls and ceilings.

Product Manual
Frequently Asked
Can the BH8V-B be used outdoors?
Yes. It has an IP44 rating, so it resists splashing water and dust and works in covered or partly exposed outdoor areas as well as indoors.
Does it run on 100V line or low impedance?
Both. You can wire it for 100V line distributed systems or run it at 16 Ohm for smaller low impedance setups.
Is the speaker sold as a pair or singly?
Each BH8V-B is supplied singly, so you can order the exact quantity your installation needs.
What mounting hardware is included?
A laterally adjustable wall bracket comes with each speaker. It offers pan and tilt adjustment so you can aim the sound for even coverage.
How do I set the volume?
There is a rotary volume tapping switch at the rear, protected by a cover along with the spring terminals for the wiring.
What is the dispersion angle?
The BH8V-B has a 120 degree dispersion angle, which helps spread sound evenly across a room or outdoor area.
