Description
The AS108II is a pair of 8 in., two-way acoustic suspension loudspeakers. They use a long-travel, composite woofer with a butyl-rubber surround and feature compression-style tweeters, mated to 60 by 40 degree horns for long throw and smooth coverage. The cabinets are finished in a durable ACX textured coating that stands up to rough handling and exposure to the elements. Integral pole sockets allows easy stand or pole mounting for getting the sound out over the crowd.
Yamaha speakers have established themselves as a reliable and trusted favorite with a wide variety of owners. From houses of worship to gigging bands; from DJs to live entertainment venues, the mixture of great sound quality and robust construction has proved irresistible.
The all-new Yamaha AS108II speaker system comes from the highly respected Yamaha Thomaston factory in the USA. This background ensures that, even though the price of these speakers is low, the build quality is never compromised. They go through the same quality control procedures as the top-end Yamaha V series loudspeakers.
These little speakers are ideal for a wide variety of PA applications:
-- For when you need to fit the entire PA in the trunk of a standard car.
-- For when you need to get the PA up several flights of stairs.
-- For when the installation requires powerful, yet discrete speakers.
With their robust ACX spray finish, durable full-frontal metal grills and steel carry handles, AS108II speakers are designed for life on the road or demanding environments.

"Smokin' bargain"
Quality:
amazingly rugged for the price! The flip up handle in the back would be strong enough to lift a speaker five time the weight.
Value:
excellent bang for the buck.
Desirability:
This speaker's small size and realatively big sound make it a very versatile addition to my gear list. I found out about them when I borrowed a pair from a friend to do a party and had to buy a pair as soon as I returned the loaners. The fill a niche that I don't see a lot of other speakers filling.
Sound:
FOR THE PRICE these are suprisingly good sounding speakers. Of course they need to be used within their limitations. I'm using them as my high/mid cabs crossed over to low bins at around 200hz. My club is small (1250sqft) and I don't like to deafen my guests. I'm using a 400watt NAD hifi amp to power them for dance music and some band and karaoke vocals. They sound powerful and present without being shrill or peaky in the high end.
Ease of Use:
I think to get the best sound out of these boxes you need to know a bit about PA set-up. They should be mated with subwoofers to do the heavy lifting, time aligned to the subs and hung or put up on stands. Otherwise, they couldn't be simpler - just a 1/4" in and 1/4" loop through.
Overall:
I will replace these speakers in my club system when I can afford higher end boxes, but I will keep these for a back up or second room system. If these blew or were stolen I would buy another to replace them. What a bargain.
