Wharfedale Pro Tourus+ A8

TOURUS+ A8 is an 8″ active loudspeaker from our new TOURUS+ Active Series — designed to deliver professional performance, flexibility and reliability in a compact format.

Powered by a Class D bi-amplified system, it delivers 280 W continuous and 560 W peak output with a maximum SPL of 124 dB at 1 m. A custom Wharfedale Pro 8″ LF driver with a 2″ voice coil provides tight, accurate bass, while the integrated DSP offers four FIR presets (NORMAL, LIVE, DJ, SPEECH) for instant optimisation in any environment. Built-in Bluetooth and TWS connectivity allow easy wireless playback and stereo linking.

Featuring dual-angle pole sockets (0° and 3°), multiple rigging points and a rugged polypropylene cabinet with a 45° monitor angle, TOURUS+ A8 is ideal for stage, floor or wall-mounted installation. Compact, durable and versatile — it’s a true all-round loudspeaker solution. Pair it with a T-SUB-AX active sub for perfectly matched low-frequency extension.
