Kramer AW−8D is a powerful, high−performance 8” all−weather PoE−powered Dante speaker, designed to deliver deeper, fuller sound with enhanced sensitivity for both indoor and outdoor environments. Built to withstand harsh weather conditions while meeting the requirements of indoor installations, the AW−8D is the ideal solution for mixed−use deployments where high−quality audio and consistent design are essential.
Engineered with the system integrator in mind, the AW−8D includes a built−in amplifier, DSP, and mixer, allowing for two−channel mixing and precise sound tuning. Advanced features include configurable parametric EQ, high−pass/low−pass filters, input compression, output limiting, power management, a “Find Me” tone trigger, and firmware updates—all managed through Kramer’s intuitive Speaker Utility software.
The AW−8D also supports integration with Kramer Control and third−party control systems via a robust API, enabling remote control of volume, mute, and more.
Available in black or white, the AW−8D combines premium audio performance with sleek, professional design for any commercial installation.
