Alesis Drums Strike Amp 8 MKII 2000-Watt 8" Drum Amplifier with Bluetooth

The Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2 is a high-performance bi-amped speaker specially designed for Electronic Drums. It outputs a massive 2000 watts, so you have enough headroom for almost any performance or rehearsal. The heavy duty 8” woofer and 1” high-frequency compression driver are tuned for a flat response across the spectrum to deliver the most accurate and authentic representation of acoustic and electronic drum sounds from your instrument. Strike Amp 8 MK2’s performance is exceptional, with a max 130dB SPL and a 52Hz-20kHz frequency range; wide enough to deliver the full thump of your kick drum, right up to the crystal-clear snap of your snare and hi-hats.

All the Connections You Need - including Bluetooth®

Strike Amp 8 MK2 features two combo XLR + 1/4" combo inputs for connecting your electronic drum kit and/or a multipad instrument, each with their own independent volume controls. You can also wirelessly connect a mobile device to the Strike Amp 8 MK2 via Bluetooth, so you can stream music wirelessly while rehearsing or during set breaks. There is also an XLR output for chaining more than one speaker together or sending the signal from your Strike Amp out to a front of house mix. 

Adapts to Any Stage or Room

Stages and rehearsal rooms can easily become dense and muddy sounding as lower frequencies from different instruments battle each other; Strike Amp 8 MK2 has a HPF EQ switch to quickly pull troublesome frequencies out and make sure your tone sits perfectly in the mix. Unwanted electrical noise can also be a common problem; Strike Amp 8 MK2’s ground lift switch can eliminate hums and buzzes resulting from ground loops.

Road-Ready Lightweight Design

Strike Amp 8 MK2 is rugged yet lightweight and easy to transport (at 21 lbs. / 9.53 kg) making load-ins at the gig or rehearsal space easier than ever. While you can use Strike Amp 8 MK2 in its intended wedge position, its versatile design means that it can also be used in an upright or pole-mounted position, making it easier to direct your sound wherever you need it, which is especially helpful at outdoor gigs or other places where PA backline is limited.
