As the model name suggests, it is equipped with an 8-inch woofer/midrange driver, two passive diaphragms and Bohne's patented dipole ribbon. As is usual with Bohne Audio, the tweeter and mid-bass drivers are powered by external power amplifiers, which in turn are controlled by the "MiniDSP SHD", which acts as a preamplifier and active crossover with room calibration. Bohne offers the complete system consisting of two BB-8L, the preamplifier MiniDSP SHD and the 4-channel power amplifier BA-200 for 8790 Euro. In addition to the standard colours white and black, there are other RAL colours and even solid wood versions in oak, Macassar or Zebrano. The power amplifier is available in silver or black.
