HK Audio MOVE8, Battery-Powered 2-Way 60W 8-Inch Speaker

The HK Audio MOVE8, Battery-Powered 2-Way 60W 8-Inch Speaker uses 60W Class-D amplifiers to drive an 8" woofer and a 1" high-frequency driver. This combination provides a full-range frequency response (65 Hz to 18 kHz) with plenty of volume (123 dB SPL).

The MOVE 8 also features a four-channel mixer with 2-band EQ and a reverb effect. Channels 1-2 have combo XLR-1/4" mic/line inputs, while channel 3 has a 1/4" input for Hi-Z inputs such as a guitar. Channel 4 has a 3.5mm Aux input and a Bluetooth receiver. The MOVE 8 can be remotely controlled via the free Android/iOS MOVE 8 REMOTE app. Two batteries and a power supply are included.

Sound Quality

MOVE 8 delivers the familiar transparent PREMIUM PR:O full-range sound with high speech intelligibility and fatigue-free listening. A highly efficient 8″ bass/midrange speaker offers powerful and impressive performance even at high volumes, with long battery life at the same time. The 1″ driver with horn provides an excellent and balanced sound up to 20 kHz. All components are built into a light and stable multi-functional wooden housing, which can be placed vertically on a speaker stand thanks to the speaker stand flange or horizontally as a floor monitor.

Uninterrupted Battery Replacement

What makes MOVE 8 unique compared to its competitors is the Dual Battery Slot – a slot that can hold the supplied batteries. The loudspeaker can be powered by one or both batteries simultaneously. The highlight – during operation, a tool-free battery replacement can be performed without interruption (‘Hot Swap’ function). Even Bluetooth audio streaming remains.

Integrated 4-Channel Mixer

The integrated 4-channel mixer with modern Bluetooth 5.0 audio streaming, Master control and Aux input make an external mixing console unnecessary for most applications with microphone, keyboard, acoustic guitar or DJ equipment. In addition, the mixer offers direct access to EQ and Reverb for channels 1 – 3. Thanks to the switchable cab simulation, guitar pedals connected to the instrument input sound authentic.

Remote App for Remote Control and Extended Range of Functions

The free MOVE 8 REMOTE App is not just a remote control for your MOVE 8 it also adds some sophisticated features that make it even more fun. The App can be used to control all the channel settings (EQ, reverb, volume) as well as the master volume. In addition, a 2-band EQ is available for channel 4 (Aux/Bluetooth), and the karaoke function can be activated for Bluetooth audio streaming and Aux In including Vocal Cancellation and Transpose. The integrated effects (chorus, tremolo, and flange) as well as the 3 Celestion cab simulations can be selected on channel 3 and can be used to optimize the sound of an electric guitar, for example. All EQ settings can also be stored and quickly recalled.
