Spatially balanced sound with 180° dispersion

The Complete K-overage ESD™ design with four angled titanium tweeters achieves nearly 180° wide-angle sound dispersion. This ensures even sound distribution throughout the entire room—regardless of the audience's seating position. Ideal for rooms with variable seating arrangements and acoustic challenges.

Flexible operating modes for music or speech

The Yarden 8-T features a switchable speech and music mode. In speech mode, speech intelligibility is specifically optimized, while the music mode offers an extended frequency range for a fuller sound. This allows the speaker to adapt precisely to the respective application.

Stereo or mono—switchable at any time

An integrated switch allows you to switch between stereo and mono operation. This feature enables precise adaptation to the existing audio infrastructure—whether as a single speaker with stereo playback or as part of a larger, mono-based installation.

Easy to install and securely mountable

The magnetically held front cover with additional security screws makes installation and maintenance easier. The Yarden 8-T is designed for standard ceiling formats and comes with two grille sizes, ensuring a perfect-fit integration into different ceiling systems.

Reliable in professional environments

Thanks to high-quality materials, plenum-compliant certifications (UL 1480 & 2043), and wide temperature and humidity ranges, the Yarden 8-T is also ideally suited for demanding environments. It meets all the requirements for modern audio installations in public and commercial buildings.
