TOA F-08BT/F-08WT 8-inch 2-Way Surface-Mount Speaker
Versatile 8-inch 2-way surface-mount speaker system available in black (F-08BT) and white (F-08WT)
The TOA F-08BT (black) and F-08WT (white) are premium 2-way surface-mount speaker systems from the F-BOX Series, engineered to deliver exceptional audio quality across a wide range of commercial and professional environments. Available in two distinct finishes to match any interior design scheme, these versatile speakers excel in both foreground and background music reproduction, as well as clear public address announcements, making them ideal solutions for retail spaces, restaurants, educational facilities, corporate environments, and houses of worship. With their bass-reflex enclosures housing robust 8-inch (20 cm) polypropylene cone woofers and precise 1-inch (25 mm) dome tweeters, both the black and white variants produce identical powerful, articulate sound with extended low-frequency response and detailed high-frequency reproduction, covering an impressive frequency range of 50 Hz to 20 kHz.
Aesthetically, both the F-08BT (black) and F-08WT (white) feature a minimalist design based on TOA's "Basic Shape" concept, which eliminates unnecessary protrusions and embellishments that create visual noise. This sleek profile allows the speaker to seamlessly integrate with walls and ceilings, complementing any architectural style while maintaining a professional appearance. The black F-08BT model (RAL 9011 equivalent) provides a sophisticated look that blends discreetly into darker interior designs, while the white F-08WT variant offers identical performance with a clean finish that integrates perfectly with lighter color schemes. This dual color offering ensures complete design flexibility for architects and integrators working on projects with specific aesthetic requirements. With substantial yet manageable dimensions of 9.88" × 15.43" × 8.5" (W × H × D), both models deliver powerful performance while maintaining a proportionate presence in the installation environment.
Installation efficiency is a key advantage of both the F-08BT and F-08WT models, thanks to their innovative mounting hardware that incorporates a temporary hanging feature. This thoughtful design allows for secure positioning during installation, freeing the installer's hands for wiring connections and angle adjustments without having to simultaneously support the speaker's 11.46 lb (5.2 kg) weight. Both color variants offer identical flexible mounting options for wall and ceiling applications, with adjustable angles to optimize sound coverage in any space. With a directivity angle of 100° horizontally and 100° vertically, these speakers ensure broad, uniform sound dispersion throughout the listening area. Compatible with both high and low impedance systems, the F-08BT (black) and F-08WT (white) provide multiple tap settings for 100V and 70V line operations, as well as direct 8-ohm connection capability, offering the versatility needed for various installation requirements. With a rated power handling capacity of 90W (8Ω) and a continuous program power capacity of 180W (8Ω), both models deliver identical impressive output and clarity for larger commercial spaces, making them suitable for environments where substantial sound reinforcement is required.
