Fulcrum Acoustic CX826 - ranked #4 of 47 8-Inch PA Speakers · Editor's rating 4.1/5

#4 Fulcrum Acoustic CX826 Passive eBay

Pros: Vendor measurements score it 3.69 on its own and 7.11 with an ideal subwoofer, well ahead of most 8-inch PA speakers, with consistent directivity (3.1dB variation) across its wide 120 by 60 degree pattern. At 7.7kg with a 16 ohm load it is easy to rig in numbers on one amplifier channel. Measured bass extension of 106Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Bass rolls off at 106Hz (-3dB) and about 82Hz (-10dB), so it needs subwoofers for anything beyond speech and fill. Passive, needs Fulcrum’s TQ processing presets, and sold through pro dealers with no published price.
