  theaudioandvideoguy's review "can get loud"

  Overall Opinion

  I have seen the RCF Monitor 8 used in so many different situations, so I was questioning if it would work for me at home. Well lets just say this speaker is extremely loud, there is no way that I can do my mixes on it at loud volumes at home because it is just too loud. The other people in this apartment would go nuts if I played this thing higher than halfway up. This speaker is made for moving the dance floor and when I DJ some local parties and events for friends and family this is all that I need. It sounds amazing when used with dance music and club music. Even sounds great with some drum and bass and even dub step. I have seen this speaker in local bars and night clubs and know several DJ’s that use this speaker. No negative things to say about it.

  This speaker is made to play loud with. Do not purchase this if you are looking for a speaker to have at home and mix and practice with. There is just no way , you wont get the best out of the speaker keeping it at less than halfway turned up. It is made to play at high volumes for a room full of people.
  
  

  The sound that comes out of the RCF Monitor 8 is very clean and the bass is amazing. I love a lot of bass in the music that I play at parties and events and this will do the trick. I have even heard several people say it could be used as a great PA speaker, I have not tried it in that aspect yet though.
  
  
  
  This is a great speaker, it was the only speaker that I needed to do parties with. I was very happy with it when I was using it about a few years ago. I purchased it used, for a great price.

  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Overall Opinion

  (Originally written by ainhoa/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
  
  
  
  Bought secondhand to a guy who didn't know what it was worth!
  
  (Although I must admit that I didn't know either!)
  
  
  
  I can't list the features but I give it a 10 (see last statement).

  For such a small woofer, the low-end is incredible and I give it a 10 (again, see last statement)!

  I've been using it for 7 years.
  
  There is nothing I don't like.
  
  
  
  The monitor 8?
  
  Terrific!
  
  This loudspeaker is as compact as it is powerful.
  
  It produces what I cal a very "pure" sound.
  
  
  
  Before I was able to buy something more expensive I used them as:
  
  - P.A. system in a screening room for 80 people.
  
  - P.A. for dance clubs with up to 200 people in a bi-amplified system with two 18" subwoofers.
  
  However I must say that I did break a woofer diaphragm at it, but honestly...!!!
  
  
  
  It was fed with 300 watts RMS coming from a Yamaha XS 350 (which has an integrated crossover).
  
  
  
  They are still in the screening room as of today.
  
  
  
  I give them a 10/10 considering the EXTREME abuse I submitted them to, their reliability and their sound quality.

  Overall Opinion

  I use them as part of my job for 4 years.
  
  20 years ago that I am in Animation (Animation all!) And what I most prfre without hsiter is the purity of the sound they produce.
  
  The report qualitprix is ​​normal.
  
  And this choice I would do without worry.
  
  A BMOL however: membranne the tweeter is quite fragile. I change at least 2 times each speaker ...

  Overall Opinion

  Speaker installation.
  
  
  
  2 Channels: 8 "(21 cm Lower) + Tweeter 25 mm
  
  Power: 300 W
  
  BP: 50 to 23 kHz + - 2 dB
  
  Sensitivity: 93 Db
  
  Impedance: 8 Ohms
  
  Filter crossover frequency: 1.8 kHz Low = 12 dB / oct High = 18 dB / oct
  
  Directional tweeter: 110 ° x 80 °
  
  Weight 9.8 KG.
  
  Connection: Neutrik Speak-on
  
  Use indoors and outdoors thanks to the boom in carbon (one of the best 8 "of walking ...)
  
  
  
  An enclosure enjoy sound very clear, easily passes the tweeter 20 Khz (Ca !!!!! breathing) with a serious attack and a lot of hitting, whatever the short, normal for a 21 Cm.
  
  
  
  Associating Monitor 2 to 8 msw8 and you get a system that tape actually very safe and a hallucinatory image brightness.
