## About

The biggest two-way LYD: an 8-inch MSP cone on 80 watts rather than 50, crossed at 3.9 kHz, in the same cabinet the three-way LYD 48 uses lying on its side. It reaches the same 55 Hz as the LYD 7 but with 3 dB more headroom, which is the honest summary — the extra cone is buying output, not extension, and Bass Extension in the DSP is there if you want to trade one for the other. Rear-ported, 10.2 kg, XLR and RCA, class D. $799 each.
