Thanks to an efficient 3-way design with dual 8" woofers and a concentric tweeter, the surprisingly compact CVA-28 powered speaker pushes out 800 watts peak.

Rock any style of music on Cerwin-Vega's powerful, powered CVA-28 speakers. Versatile and easy to install, the 2x8-inch, 800-Watt CVA-28 provides the kind of power handling, amplification, and frequency response you need for blasting hip-hop, jazz, pop, rock, and more. Push any sonic material through the three-way speaker and enjoy tight bass and rich mid-range reproduction.

Three Transducers in a Space-Saving Configuration

The CVA-28's three-way, dual 8-inch design is the selling feature of the system, as it allows the speaker to deliver superior directionality and a clean off-axis response, along with awesome power handling, tight bass, and rich mid-range reproduction. Impressive imaging comes by way of a compression driver placed in the middle of the top woofer in a concentric configuration. That means these speakers deliver much bigger sound than you might expect for their size.

Advanced Power Handling

Built-in amplification means the loudspeaker supplies its own power, eliminating the need for an external amp. The Cerwin-Vega CVA-28 boasts a 400-Watt, integrated 3-way amplifier able to output 800 Watts peak and up to 128 dB SPL, with an EQ contour switch for high-SPL applications. Avoid competing system frequencies by flipping the speaker's Sub/NoSub switch, which lets you roll off the low end when used with a dedicated subwoofer.

Flexible Installation

Place the CVA-28 wherever you need great sound. Integrated fly points, flyware kits, and a pole mount, plus read more dual and triple speaker mount accessories provide easy options for installing and mounting the active full-range speaker alone or with other Cerwin-Vega ActiveSeries units.

Connect All

On the rear of the speaker, you get microphone, line, and instrument inputs through balanced XLR and 1/4-inch connectors. Housed in a rugged hardwood enclosure, the CVA-28 is primed and ready for gigging, touring, you name it.

I am a mobile DJ, prior to getting my set of CVA28 's I was toting around 2 Behringer B115D and a pair of Peavey PV215D Mid way threw my first show I turned off everything but my CVA28s and my single CVA18 The sound was incredible. These things are amazing. I have sense sold everything but my Cerwin Vega speakers. These little thinga are a bit heavy, but I am now able to load everything into the back of my grand cherokee. I have not looked back.
