ANAHEIM, CA, January 25, 2007-SLS Loudspeakers introduced its new 8290 multipurpose portable PA box at Winter NAMM 2007. While its vast applications include multimedia installations, public speaking and speeches, as well as house and stage monitor usage, the 8290‘s full-range passive high-quality dual 8‘‘ design incorporates a compact multi-angled cabinet with maximum sound pressure levels.

Established as a solution for professional applications that require the highest quality and intelligibility of sound, the 8290 is equipped with SLS‘ PRD500 planar ribbon driver that is contained within a 90 degree die-cast aluminum waveguide. Its dual 8” woofers provide increased control in the vertical plane.

“The SLS 8290 offers the best of both worlds – providing professional sound with simplicity and convenience,” says Jeff Lowry, Director of Marketing for SLS. “While its compact, multi-angle cabinet design allows for quick interchangeability for vast applications, it also distributes exceptional sound quality suitable for a variety of monitor and main applications.

The publicly traded company (SLSZ) was founded in the 1970s and its products are used in hundreds of installations worldwide.
