Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

MON 8 A G3 is the compact member of LD Systems’ powered coaxial monitor range. The 8-inch monitor pairs a 50° x 90° CD horn with a 33° monitor angle and reaches 59Hz at -10dB. Its stated uses extend beyond stage foldback: it can serve in a DJ setup, on a speaker stand as a FOH speaker, as a 2.1 satellite, or as a delay-line speaker. Signal and PowerCON-compatible power loop-through support tidy multi-speaker wiring.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Stage-monitor use where an 8-inch powered coaxial cabinet keeps the footprint less conspicuous.
  • DJ setups, speaker-stand FOH positions, 2.1 satellite systems, or delay-line reinforcement.
  • Multi-speaker setups that need signal and power passed through from one cabinet to another.
