AlphaTheta WAVE EIGHT 8" Battery Powered Loudspeaker + SonicLink

The WAVE-EIGHT is a portable DJ speaker designed for partying and DJing anywhere. With features including SonicLink ultra-low-latency wireless technology, professional sound quality, effortless setup, built-in battery, and IPX4-rated waterproof design, it can be used anywhere.

Our Review on the Alpha Theta Wave Eight:

We have used the Wave Eight at various events since release with great results. During an events on Bonhams in London, we were tasked with providing audio in a neighbouring room to the main event. The Wave Eight speaker was the perfect solution, providing high quality, latency free audio without the need for messy cables. The built in battery also meant we didn't need to setup by a power outlet, meaning we could place the speaker where we wanted. After a 3 hours event, the battery was still at 75% and we had good feedback from those in attendance. There was no audio drop-outs during the event, even with the amount of potential interference from guests and neighbouring properties. We have the speaker available to demonstrate in our London based DJ shop along with the Omnis Duo, which is also battery powered.

SonicLink ultra-low-latency wireless technology

Finally, cable-free DJing is possible, with the WAVE-EIGHT, thanks to SonicLink. This new ultra-lowlatency technology wirelessly transmits audio much faster than a Bluetooth connection so only a fraction of a second passes between pressing play on the decks and hearing the track through the speakers, meaning DJs can mix without missing a beat. And if the WAVE-EIGHT is combined with the new OMNISDUO portable all-in-one DJ system, which also features battery power, it’s possible to DJ cable-free for total freedom.

Professional sound quality with effortless setup

With a highly efficient Class D amplifier, a newly developed 8-inch driver, and a Vortex Bass Accelerator which delivers clear and powerful bass, the WAVE-EIGHT brings the vibes and the punch to a party’s sound, even in outdoor settings. To cover larger events and spaces, more units can easily be added to a setup via the SonicLink connection: e.g., using 2 speakers in stereo for an expansive experience, or with a third added as a dedicated subwoofer for a club-like heavy bass sound. There are even several modes, that are easily changed between with a single switch, to create the type of sound needed, including Mono, Stereo, and Subwoofer mode.

Battery power and waterproof design

A full battery charge gives 8 hours of music on the WAVE-EIGHT so the tunes will keep going throughout the evening and night. The unit is also waterproof, with an IPX4 rating, so it’s ideal for using outdoors. And, if someone needs to charge a phone or another device, they can plug it into the USB Type-C port.

Easy portability

The extendable handle, casters, and additional grab handles make it easy for one person to carry the WAVE-EIGHT to any location. There’s a pole socket built-in too, so the speaker can be mounted on a stand for extra height, making it ideal for use in a variety of locations.
