Our Hawaii professional sound system brings the music festival to your private lounge environment and fills the room with the vibes you love. In fact, Hawaii perfectly matches the sonic signature of L-Acoustics professional stage systems used for mixing at the world’s most sought-after music events and tours.
The X8 concentric speaker design at the core of Hawaii makes it the preferred desk monitor choice of leading front of house engineers worldwide. X8 puts you in the position of experiencing the dynamics of live music as if you were at the mixing console yourself, faders up. Way up if you like. There is ample SPL available.
As for the bass, this 2.1 setup pairs two X8 with two Syva Sub, a subwoofer that combines all of our most advanced pro audio technologies to optimise low frequency delivery while keeping turbulence under control and improving articulation.

I use the X8 loudspeakers as nearfield monitors for live concerts, both as a reference speaker for mixing ‘virtual soundchecks’ from previous show recordings, and as a reinforcement speaker to supplement the main PA system when mixing in less than ideal locations. They are small enough to sit on the back of my mixing console, while still being powerful enough for me to hear them perfectly clearly, when necessary, over the level of the main PA system.

Combined with an SB18 subwoofer, they fit seamlessly with the sonic character of the other L-Acoustics products, so I know that what I am hearing at the console will be consistent with what the audience is hearing from the PA. X8 were also used around the stage for the Arcade Fire ‘in the round’ arena system to cover the audience standing right up close to the stage.
Hawaii will elevate your listening at home. You’ll also hear these loudspeakers in many exciting places around the world.
