Passive Line Array Top Speaker

The HK Audio Cadis CAD 208 Top is a compact passive line array mid/high module designed for professional installation systems in venues such as theaters, houses of worship, sports facilities, and conference centers. Featuring dual 8-inch low/mid drivers and dual 1-inch compression drivers, it delivers strong output, excellent speech intelligibility, and consistent coverage across large listening areas.

HK Audio Cadis CAD 208 Top Competitive Differences

• Dual 8" low/mid drivers and dual 1" compression drivers for powerful line array clarity
• 100° horizontal coverage with integrated rigging for scalable CADIS arrays

HK Audio Cadis CAD 208 Top Description

The HK Audio Cadis CAD 208 Top is part of the CADIS (Compact Adaptive Installation System) series, developed for permanent sound reinforcement installations where clarity, output, and reliability are critical. The 2.5-way design uses two high-performance 8-inch drivers for low and midrange frequencies combined with dual 1-inch compression drivers mounted to a precision waveguide to ensure even high-frequency distribution.

This design provides consistent sound coverage with a wide 100° horizontal dispersion and 15° vertical coverage per cabinet, making it ideal for building scalable line array systems that cover small to large venues. Multiple CAD 208 Top modules can be flown together to create arrays tailored to the specific acoustic needs of the space.

The enclosure is built from glass-fiber reinforced polyamide, offering exceptional durability while remaining lightweight. This weather-resistant construction makes the speaker suitable for demanding installation environments, including indoor venues and protected outdoor spaces.

An integrated three-point rigging system allows installers to quickly configure array angles between cabinets, ensuring precise audience coverage. When paired with Cadis subwoofers such as the CAD 115 Sub, the system becomes a powerful full-range installation solution capable of delivering both clear speech reinforcement and high-impact music playback.
