The premium ProAc range the ‘K series has now been in production for the last 12 years. The K3, K6 K8 and most recently the K6 Sig have proven to have been very popular choices for people looking for the ultimate in sound reproduction.
With this success we have been asked for a stand mounted K series speaker which we have been developing.
Our exciting new K8
The K8 uses a larger 8 inch bass driver than the K6, the cone is made from Kevlar weave material, then polished and concentrically weighted.
With a new wider cabinet, the midrange horn could now be redesigned. Stewart Tyler decided to make a very shallow midrange horn from billet aluminium. The midrange horn being very shallow gives excellent dispersion this widens the sound stage and reveals details right down to the finest brushed cymbal.
The ProAc ribbon tweeter is also used as it is in most of ProAc’s high end speakers. The tweeters are wonderfully natural and fine detail is produced even at high levels with comfort.
The 8 inch Kevlar bass drivers are made in house these bass drivers are ported through a curved tude in the base of the loudspeaker.
