T8 is the compact member of the industry’s first robotically controlled line source family. Featuring PK Sound’s patented multi-axis robotics, T8’s stunning output – with peak SPLs reaching 143.5 dB – is precisely controlled down to 400 Hz in both the vertical and horizontal planes, offering system operators maximum flexibility in making coverage adjustments after the array is flown.

Integrated inclinometers and network-based Auto-Array via PK .dynamics software enable each module to recognize its position and angle within the system, enhancing the speed, safety, and accuracy of any deployment. Robotic control, onboard DSP, and AVB end points are routed through the world’s first implementation of Neutrik’s DR Series of IP65-rated connectors for maximum stability.

A pair of vented 8” Tetracoil transducers with custom phase plugs manage low-frequency response while a dual ring radiator coaxial compression driver handles mid and high frequencies. This three-way, high-directivity design offers detailed and variable pattern control of frequencies from 20 kHz down to 400 Hz, resulting in significant SPL reductions between on-axis and off-axis coverage points. A two-channel VE15 1,400 W Class D amplifier maximizes headroom while maintaining crystal clear audio and exceptional output.

T8’s waveguide is robotically manipulated to offer variable symmetric and asymmetric horizontal dispersion from 60°-120° so users can shape an array’s radial directivity remotely and in real time. This enables the configuration of tapered arrays, precisely tailored to the meet the unique coverage requirements of any venue or event.

Flown straight, the array’s directivity is then configured remotely using industrial linear actuators. Vertical angles are variable with 0.1° accuracy. Finally, a combination of FIR and IIR filters is applied to ensure smooth frequency response throughout the listening area.
