HELIX K 8E.2

Small, smaller, K 8E.2 – here comes by far the most compact housing subwoofer in our K series. Despite its tiny dimensions, the K 8E.2 is a real deep bass specialist that can easily compete with much larger “contemporaries” in terms of maximum sound pressure.

Best with “distance”

The housing feet of the K 8E.2 has a double meaning. On the one hand, they are part of the construction as a downfire subwoofer and create a defined distance from the mounting surface, which is then cleverly used for reflection.

At the same time, thanks to their Velcro inserts, they reliably secure the subwoofer on carpeted floors to prevent it from slipping, so that additional fastening is not necessary in many cases.

Technically sophisticated

An extremely hard membrane made of hand-made paper fibers, in conjunction with a heavy-duty, 50 mm double voice coil, converts the amplifier power into maximum punch effortlessly and without compression effects, without missing the necessary sensitivity.

Flexible connection

The design as a double voice coil woofer offers a lot of flexibility in terms of the choice of amplifier. No matter whether 1 x 4 ohm, 2 x 2 ohm or 1 x 1 ohm impedance - any configuration is possible with these deep bass guarantees.
