{"product_id":"graham-ls8-1","title":"Graham Audio LS8\/1 Loudspeakers","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eThe LS8\/1 is Graham Audio's take on the classic 8 inch bass driver in a 2 cubic foot box format, as used by many designers over the years, including our own Derek Hughes (and his father Spencer, who of course designed the BBC LS3\/6).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome earlier models suffered from reliability problems because of limited power handling. Some had a bass response that didn't work optimally in domestic listening environments. But many were able to give hi-fi enthusiasts their first taste of studio monitor neutrality, especially through the midrange, thanks to the \"thinwall\" cabinet construction and the innovative - for the time - use of plastics for the mid-bass driver diaphragm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Graham Audio LS8\/1 draws on decades of experience and modern techniques. High-temperature motor design and materials permit much greater power handling than ever, while building on the midrange openess and resolution of the original LS3\/6. Sophisticated soft-dome units are used for the tweeter and super-tweeter, both with protective metal grilles, and in common with many Graham Audio designs, the HF level can easily be adjusted from the front panel to help match the loudspeakers to the acoustic environment they are being used in. To do so, the grille can readily be removed as it is held in place with concealed magnets. As with the original LS3\/6, the front and rear panels are attached to the cabinet with screws rather than glued joints, helping to reduce colouration by decoupling the panels, and easing future maintenance, should that become necessary. High quality birch ply is used beneath the premium hand-matched veneers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 Way, reflex loading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThin wall damped construction, birch plywood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReal wood veneer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (w\/h\/d)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm by 63.5cm by 30cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45Hz to 20kHz, ±3dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNominal impedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e87dB SPL (2.83V, 1m)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum output\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOver 100dB for a pair at 2m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e26mm soft dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuper tweeter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19mm soft dome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended amplifier power\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 to 250 watts unclipped programme\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrossover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.5kHz, 14kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Graham Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938459943178,"sku":"GRAHAMAUDI-7355","price":4712.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/3283\/6618\/files\/graham-audio-ls8-1-loudspeakers-33069-p.png?v=1760363171","url":"https:\/\/audioemotion.co.uk\/products\/graham-ls8-1","provider":"Audio Emotion Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
