Description
Laney Audiohub 3 Channel 80W Speaker with Delay EQ AH80
The Laney AH80 is a compact, versatile powered speaker designed for home studio setup, instrument tracking, and multi-source audio monitoring. Its dual position kickback cabinet and manageable 13.5 kg weight make it easy to position on a desk, stand, or floor, while the 80W RMS output delivers clear reference monitoring without overwhelming a modest recording space. Built-in effects and multi-channel inputs make it equally capable of blending multiple sources during production or serving as a dedicated monitor for instruments during recording sessions.
Design & Build
The cabinet features carpet covering for durability and a professional appearance, with a dual position kickback that allows angled or upright placement depending on your monitoring position and studio layout. At 433 x 413 x 368 mm and 13.5 kg, this speaker fits compact recording spaces without sacrificing acoustic presence, making it ideal for home studios where desktop or shelf placement is necessary while maintaining usable monitoring volume.
Audio Performance & Connectivity
The 1 x 10" custom driver with bullet tweeter delivers defined mids and articulate highs across the mix spectrum, critical for tracking and producing accurate recordings. Three independent channels accommodate multiple recording sources: Channel 1 (XLR + 1/4" jack), Channel 2 (2 x 1/4" jacks), and Channel 3 (1/4" jack), plus a 1/8" aux input. Individual level controls for each channel, a 5-band graphic EQ, and master volume enable precise tone shaping for balancing instruments in your mix, while the integrated delay effect with time, feedback, and level controls adds spatial depth to monitoring without requiring external processors.
