SoundTube Entertainment has released the LA880i-II and LA808i-II line array speakers in white with an updated aluminum casing. The new array aesthetic was initially introduced in 2021.
“SoundTube LA880i-II's proprietary LAPS (Line Array-Point Source) 3-way design provides a very short near-field extent and hearty far-field performance to create clear and concise sound,” according to the announcement. “The LA880i-II maintains a more consistent ratio of array height to radiated wavelength with frequency tapering of low and mid-frequency passbands, ensuring a stable vertical beamwidth that out-performs many other single box line arrays.”
Measuring only 7.91" x 40.87" x 11.99", the LA880i-II features eight 4.5-inch woofers, eight 2-inch midrange drivers and one 2.5-inch planar magnetic ribbon high-frequency tweeter for high-frequency response.
"Our commercial and pro AV customers needing public announcement and sound reinforcement solutions have been asking for a white version of our line array speakers. The trim and sleek look of the new extruded aluminum cabinet will make a beautiful addition for contemporary spaces," says Michael Sipe, vice president, sales. "The LA880i-II and LA808i-II line array speakers are perfect for applications requiring well-defined audio for large groups in corporate, classroom and higher ed, theater, music and spoken word.”
SoundTube’s LA808i-II is designed to extend low frequency vertical directivity from 500Hz to 200Hz when added to the LA880i-II line array, which eliminates reverberation issues and makes low frequency audio clearer. Identical in size to the LA880i-II, it can be used only in conjunction with the LA880i-II line array either placed directly above or below it.
The LA880i-II and LA808i-II line array speakers are now available to ship in both black and white.
