With this TYPHON-AXF series, the goal is clear: to maintain the DNA of a robust and easy-to-deploy active speaker while enhancing sound quality. The hardware design and connectivity remain consistent, but the introduction of more precise crossover filters and a new DSP featuring FIR filtering delivers a noticeable improvement, especially in low-end control and overall coherence. The result: a cleaner speaker in the mix, more intelligible, and more pleasant to use at real-world volumes.
This 2-way 8-inch active speaker is aimed at musicians, DJs, hosts, service providers, and venues seeking a compact, efficient, and quick-to-set-up solution. For front of house, it is perfect for small setups (vocals, keyboards, acoustic guitar, playlists, conferences). For stage monitoring, its size and directivity facilitate close listening while maintaining a comfortable headroom.
The inclusion of Bluetooth also makes it very practical for rehearsals, ambient sets, or events where wireless audio streaming is desired. Finally, the IP54 rating provides peace of mind when performing in more exposed environments.
The core of this upgrade lies in the processing: the DSP incorporates FIR filtering combined with finer crossover adjustments. Practically, this contributes to better continuity between drivers, a smoother response, and tighter bass. Vocals gain in intelligibility; during music playback, the speaker remains more stable and precise, even at higher volumes.
With a stated dispersion of 100 degrees horizontally and 80 degrees vertically, this speaker aims for wide and usable coverage, useful for minimizing "dead" zones and improving audience listening comfort. This directivity also facilitates use as a monitor: it better targets the listening area and reduces unwanted stage spill.
XLR connectivity allows simple integration into most sound setups: connection from a mixing console, daisy-chaining to another speaker, or adaptation to various performance scenarios. The standard 35 mm pole mount simplifies stand installation, while the polypropylene enclosure withstands repeated transport and rigging/unrigging.
