Equator Q8

q8header
iDeal Audio is pleased to announce the Equator Q8 studio reference monitors are now shipping. Currently the smallest and most affordable monitor in the Q Series catalog, the Equator Q8 employs the identical design characteristics that have enabled the Q8's larger siblings to obtain such critical acclaim.

Measuring a mere 13" x 13" x 13" and featuring an 8-inch woofer coupled with a high-powered, 1-inch compression horn driver, the new Q8 delivers the power and accuracy of Equator Audio's larger Q Series models, but with a more compact form factor. A 2-way active system, the Q8 enclosure is constructed of 13-ply Baltic Birch and is heavily braced for cabinet rigidity.
