STING 8-74
Versatile point source speaker
STING 8-74 is a versatile point-source speaker designed for near-field portable use, featuring prominent 2 x 8” woofers with a 2.5” VC driver at its heart. Integrating two 8-inch neodymium woofers with a 1.5-inch neodymium high-frequency driver into a perfectly coherent point source design, STING 8 delivers focused directivity and pristine sound power for the most demanding applications.
Main features:
- Components: 2 x 8” woofers with 2,5” voice coil
- Nominal power: 600 W
- Frequency response: 65 Hz – 19 kHz
- SPLmax: 135 dB
- Coverage: 70° x 40° rotatable horn
- Mounting: 2 x VESA 100 x 100, 4 x M8 mounting points
Looking for even better control? With rotatable horns providing different dispersion, STING 8 puts your sound right where it belongs without sacrificing power, smooth response, or reliability.
Mounting accessories were carefully designed to put the user in charge of installation, not the other way around. Speaker stand adapters, vertical and horizontal brackets, and ceiling adapters fit STING 8 in a variety of settings, from concert halls, clubs, and theaters to theme parks and sports arenas.
A point source loudspeaker has quite a few advantages. All in all, if it delivers sufficient SPL with good sound quality and the right coverage area, it can be a more attractive solution than a line array in terms of sound quality, consistency, and ease of use. Just point the speaker cabinet at the desired area and let it do its job. The result of the interaction of modules in a calculator doesn’t need to be calculated. Moreover, with a point source, there are fewer amplification channels and commutation, plus the weight and size of the kit are also significantly reduced.
If you are looking for high-quality sound for a small venue (e.g., a concert hall for up to 300 people, or a small club/restaurant, etc.), then it makes sense to consider the MAG Audio Sting 8 set + suitable subwoofers (depending on the music style). The result is guaranteed to surprise you in a very positive way. More so because we've included the ability to scale up to 2 x Sting 8 when working in a hanging cluster. This considerably expands the possibilities and allows you to cover a wide vertical angle.

The STING 8 is a compact 2-way passive loudspeaker system built with high-quality MAG components in a bass-reflex enclosure: two coherently arranged neodymium 8' woofers and a 1.5-inch neodymium HF driver, which are perfectly phase-matched by design, delivering high performance and very low distortion.

As a first option, there is the ST8-HA, and there is the ST8-PM adapter for 35mm pole mounts that can tilt back and forth. This allows you to install the speakers individually on pole stands as well as on a stand above the subwoofer.

Secondly, there’s the ST8-FL flying adapter that allows adjusting the angle of inclination. An optional ST8-LNK adjustable vertical coupling bracket allows for connecting two speakers at an angle of 20, 30, and 40 degrees to create a vertical cluster.

A third mounting option is a classic U-shaped ST8-UB bracket that helps to install the speaker horizontally on any surface, with flexible angle adjustment. Incidentally, the horn of the driver is not only rotatable (making it easy to choose the dispersion plane) but also replaceable (110° x 40° or 70° x 40°). These can be ordered separately as an accessory.

For easy moving between locations and to protect the appearance of the speaker systems, special travel cases ST8-FC2 are available that can accommodate two STINGs. For outdoor use, we offer IP versions of these speakers that support the IP54 standard and are weatherproof.

Modifications of STING 8:
✔️ STING 8 - 114 (110° x 40° or 40° x 110° rotatable horn)
✔️ STING 8 - 74 (70° x 40° or 40° x 70° rotatable horn)
✔️ STING 8 IP - 114 (IP54, 110° x 40° or 40° x 110° rotatable horn)
✔️ STING 8 IP - 74 (IP54, 70° x 40° or 40° x 70° rotatable horn)
The loudspeaker cabinet and most accessories are also available in white and can optionally be produced in all RAL colors.
The MAG Sting 8 is a very versatile, compact, and high-quality point speaker with powerful and detailed sound that can solve a wide variety of tasks. In many cases, the Sting 8 also eliminates the excessive effort and expense associated with using line arrays.
