Bundle includes 2xC8 Reference & 1x B88 Subwoofer
C8 Reference - 8" Coaxial Monitor
Designed with precision, the C8-Reference is specifically crafted to serve as a full-range main monitoring system for small to medium control rooms. Its well-designed enclosure volume and high-performance chassis contribute to its ability to deliver accurate and detailed sound reproduction across the entire frequency range.
One notable feature of the C8-Reference is its rear-facing bass reflex port. This port is intelligently designed to minimize audible air turbulence, ensuring clean and precise bass response. The result is a tight and controlled low-frequency reproduction that enhances the overall listening experience.
The 8″ coaxial driver of the C8-Reference is equipped with a carbon fiber membrane, which guarantees that there will be no cone breakup at higher frequencies. This ensures that the speaker can accurately reproduce even the most intricate details without any distortion. Additionally, the use of carbon fiber keeps the weight of the driver minimal, contributing to its overall efficiency.
To complement the coaxial driver, the C8-Reference features a 1″ tweeter that is manufactured in-house. This tweeter is designed to offer the lowest distortion values and maximum neutrality, resulting in a clear and transparent high-frequency reproduction. The special coaxial design of the driver optimizes the dispersion characteristics, ensuring a wide and consistent soundstage.

B88 Reference Subwoofer
The B88-Reference is a compact mono subwoofer designed to enhance the bass performance of the Reference series and third-party monitors.
The acoustic advantages of the B88 Reference
- Universally applicable with high-pass outputs for active satellite speakers
- Subwoofer in a flow-optimized steel case
- DSP (digital signal processor) for exact crossover and equalization and delay
- High sound power in the bottom octave (from 28 Hz)
- Satellite outputs with suitably softened signal
- Delay and level on the subwoofer adjustable
- Volume and filter adjustable via KSD-RC
With its integrated digital signal processing and two power amplifiers, this subwoofer takes your existing audio system to the next level. The two 250W PWM power amplifiers work in conjunction with two high-performance eight-inch chassis, providing a controlled and powerful reproduction of deep bass frequencies. Say goodbye to unwanted roar or pumping and enjoy stress-free, detailed sound.
The B88-Reference features two XLR outputs for connecting satellite monitors, delivering a suitably softened signal above 80Hz. The built-in digital signal processor ensures a linear frequency response, while internal filters allow for fine-tuning to match your room and application. You can even adjust the delay directly on the amplifier to compensate for any spatial offset between the B88-Reference and the satellites.
Thanks to its specially designed high-performance chassis housed in a flow-optimized steel enclosure, the B88-Reference produces an extremely controlled and „dry“ bass signal, free from typical ventilation noises.
Whether you need a mono subbass extension or a third way for your stereo sound setup, the B88-Reference has got you covered. It also excels in transmitting the LFE channel in 5.1 or other 3D audio configurations. Plus, with the optional KSD remote, you can easily make adjustments to gain, phase/delay, and six parametric EQs, giving you complete control over your audio experience.
