The KOALA Series: A New Range Designed for the Field
With KOALA, DEFINITIVE AUDIO offers a series of active speakers with a modern design, engineered to provide an effective balance between sound reproduction, reliability, and mobility. The range is available in several sizes (6, 8, 10, 12, and 15 inches) to cover a wide variety of uses, from occasional reinforcement to main sound distribution. The series' approach emphasizes quality drivers and amplification designed to combine performance and easy transport without complicating setup.
Who Is the KOALA 8 For and In Which Applications Does It Excel?
The DEFINITIVE AUDIO KOALA 8 targets DJs, musicians, hosts, speakers, and service providers looking for a compact active speaker that is simple to adjust and quick to install. Its 8-inch format is particularly suited for small to medium setups: front-of-house sound in a modest-sized room, reinforcement in a secondary area, or stage monitoring when space is limited.
For mobility, its injected polypropylene chassis and top handle facilitate transport, while the 35mm socket allows immediate pole mounting. For installation, the M8 threaded inserts enable fixed integration, convenient for multipurpose rooms, bars, rehearsal studios, or conference spaces.
Controls, Sound Distribution, and Connectivity: A Speaker Ready to Work
Direct Sound Control
The KOALA 8 includes essential controls to quickly adjust the tonal balance: Bass and Treble correction, as well as a volume knob. This approach is ideal when switching from a microphone to a line source or when compensating for room acoustics without necessarily using external processing.
Controlled Sound Dispersion for Front-of-House and Monitor Use
With a specified dispersion of 90deg x 60deg and a 2-way configuration (8-inch woofer and tweeter driver), the KOALA 8 aims for coherent coverage for close audiences as well as stage monitor applications. This versatility facilitates performances alternating between main sound, side fill, and monitoring.
Inputs Adapted to Modern Setups
The connectivity allows connection of both professional and consumer sources: LINE/MIC inputs via XLR and 6.35mm Jack, RCA and 3.5mm mini-jack inputs for audio players, computers, or playback solutions. The LINK output on a male XLR simplifies chaining a second speaker, useful for creating a stereo pair or extending coverage without multiplying mixer outputs.
