Behringer PK 108 Passive 8-Inch Speaker

A PK88 Designed for Portable Sound Reinforcement in the Behringer Range

The Behringer PK88 embodies the "ready to go" spirit: a lightweight, robust, and easy-to-deploy passive speaker designed to meet common mobile sound reinforcement needs. Its 8-inch format emphasizes versatility: compact enough for transport and small stages, while still capable of delivering solid sound levels thanks to its power handling rated at 600 W peak.

Within a larger system setup, it naturally positions itself as a main speaker for small events or as a satellite/monitor in a setup with a subwoofer. Its approach favors efficiency and practicality, with stage-oriented connectivity and quick pole mounting.

Intended Uses and Target Users

The PK88 is aimed at musicians, DJs, beginner to intermediate technicians, associations, places of worship, and service providers seeking an easy-to-transport passive speaker without built-in electronics. It therefore requires a power amplifier (or amplifier-mixer) suitable for its impedance and desired power.

Thanks to its size and directivity, it is well suited for sound reinforcement of vocals, keyboards, guitar via modeling, playback, or small live mixes. It can also serve as a monitor when precise mid and high frequency listening is desired, while retaining present bass for an 8-inch speaker.

Acoustic Design: Clarity, Coverage, and Impact

The PK88 is a 2-way speaker combining an 8-inch long-excursion woofer and a 1-inch compression driver. This architecture aims for a balanced response: firm and dynamic bass, clear mids (practical for vocals and instruments), and detailed highs for presence and attack.

8-inch Long-Excursion Woofer: Power in a Small Package

The woofer is designed to produce deep bass and a good sound pressure reserve in a compact size. This is a relevant choice for mobile configurations: saving space without sacrificing the energy needed for stage, speeches, or events.

Large-Format Exponential Horn: Sound Coverage That "Fills" the Room

The compression tweeter is paired with a large exponential horn with wide dispersion. The goal is to maintain clear high-frequency reproduction even when the audience is not perfectly on axis. This coverage helps homogenize the listening experience and limits the impression of sound being "too bright" in the center and "too dark" on the sides.

Ready for the Field: Quick Setup and Stage Connectivity

The enclosure features ergonomic handles and a 35 mm pole socket for fast pole mounting. The 4-pin "Speaker Twist" connectors allow simple integration into a speaker chain, with input and link outputs, convenient for daisy-chaining a second speaker without multiplying cables from the amplifier.
