McGrey E-208LA Active Line Array Column System - Return (Condition: Very Good)

Powerful Sound In A Slim Design!

When it comes to PA, solo artists and small acoustic combos prize easy transport, quick setup, convincing sound and an unobtrusive look. McGrey's slim column system brings all these benefits together in a compact, sonically powerful package.

Set Up In Seconds

The E-208LA consists of four components: a subwoofer, two spacer pieces and a full-range line array speaker. These four parts simply plug into each other, with the signal for the tweeter routed through the spacer pieces. The entire setup takes less than a minute!

For One Or More

The column system offers both an XLR and a jack input socket, where the input sensitivity can be set via a Mic/Line switch. This lets you run a dynamic microphone and an instrument directly, or combine several signals via a mixer and feed them to the E-208LA.

Flexible Plug-In System

The E-208LA can be operated without, with one, or with both spacer pieces. Depending on whether you're on a raised stage or level with seated or standing audiences, the E-208LA adapts perfectly to the venue's conditions.

Rich Sound

With an effective output of 100 Watts (200 Watts peak), the subwoofer with its 8" driver and the four full-range speakers deliver an absolutely clear and powerful sound experience, producing strong bass, high speech intelligibility and a balanced tonal image. Thanks to the extremely wide dispersion angle, audience members positioned to the sides also get full benefit. Because the speakers are arranged vertically, the volume drops off much less with distance than with conventional systems, resulting in very even sound coverage throughout the room.

The small full-range speakers, because of their low mass, can respond very quickly to incoming signals, which results in significantly less coloration and distortion of the original sound compared to typical multi-way boxes. Equally, in the critical frequency range for many instruments—and especially for singing and spoken voices—there is no frequency splitting that would inevitably lead to further sound coloration and often irregularities in dispersion behavior. As a result, the overall sound is much more natural and pleasant than that of common multi-way speakers, which is particularly noticeable with voices and acoustic instruments.

Integrated Media Player With Bluetooth

The control panel is located on the back of the subwoofer and includes a full media player. It makes no difference whether your music files are on USB or SD. Of course, any conventional playback device (e.g. smartphone or laptop) can also be connected via the aux input. For wireless streaming the E-208LA also offers a Bluetooth receiver. If you pair the system via Bluetooth with a second, optional E-208LA, you even get wireless True Wireless stereo sound.

Easily Expandable

Whether you connect a microphone directly to the PA or the signal comes from a mixer—use the Line Out to feed your signal to additional column systems. Depending on the size of the event, this ensures an even more uniform sound distribution.

Skip The Monitoring

Because the E-208LA is extremely feedback-resistant, it can be positioned behind the performers without issue. That saves you additional monitor speakers—and therefore space, time, money and weight. And it also looks much better.
