The Comp 8X Active is the fully active version of our award-winning Comp 8 full-range loudspeaker.

The active version makes an amplifier superfluous - you can connect your audio source, eg a network streamer or computer, directly to the speaker.
This is made possible by a specially developed two-channel amplifier module. This drives the full range driver and the 22cm woofer built into the base, each with a separate power amplifier.

In the X-version of the Comp 8 we made a lot of updates and modifications to the well established predecessors.The newly constructed baffle optimizes sonic refractions resulting in an even more flat frequency response you would never expect from a single fullrange driver. Further more, we vibration-decoupled the baffle from the cabinet  and optimised the bottom plate against resonances.This results in an even more vivid, threedimensional and stable reproduction of all music-material. Further more, this modifications give the speakers a slimmer and more straightforward apearance. This takes them more out of the acoustical stage and makes them less dominant in your living / listening room.Also the finished / veneers have been updated. Step by Step we will introduce Black and White Silk-matte and walnut / oak. High Gloss black and white and Mocca will remain available also.

The integrated DSP takes over the work of a classic crossover and also allows you to adapt the loudspeaker to your listening room and your personal listening habits.
The current version 3 of the amplifier module sets another milestone:
The power pack has now been integrated directly into the amplifier module. A linear power supply with 225VA toroidal transformer replaces the external switching power supply of the .2 line and provides even more space and fine dynamics as well as pressure, punch and precision in the bass reproduction.

The new module now also offers the flexibility in terms of upgrades that is already known from the smaller models: all the electronics are located on the module and can be easily exchanged for another module, terminal or the passive crossover. Thus, nothing stands in the way of changes to passive, active or air and your AUDIUMs can grow with your requirements.
