Your electronic drums deserve better than being an afterthought in a PA system built for everything else. The Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2 is a 2000-watt bi-amped speaker designed with one job in mind: making your e-kit come alive. Featuring a precision-tuned 8" woofer, a 1" high-frequency compression driver, and a frequency range spanning 52Hz to 20kHz, it delivers the full sonic spectrum of your kit — from the thump of your kick drum to the crisp crack of your snare — without compromise.
Power That Hits Hard
Most e-drum amps have a habit of whimpering out right when you hit that epic drum solo. The Strike Amp 8 MK2 doesn't flinch. Packing 2000 watts of peak power and a massive 130dB max SPL, it delivers concert-level volume without breaking a sweat. To ensure all that raw power doesn't turn your performance into a muddy bass puddle, it features an HPF EQ switch to roll off stage rumble and a ground lift switch to instantly kill annoying electrical hums.
2000W Peak Power & 130dB SPL: Massive headroom keeps your drums crisp, clean, and ridiculously loud without any unwanted distortion.
52Hz–20kHz Flat Response: Specially tuned to capture the deep rumble of your kick and the shimmer of your cymbals exactly as they were meant to be heard.
HPF & Ground Lift Switches: Instantly filter out muddy low-end frequencies and eliminate ground loop buzzes with a quick flick of a switch.
Plug In. Play. Easy Setup.
There’s nothing worse than showing up to a gig and playing connection roulette. The Strike Amp 8 MK2 skips the stage-fright drama by offering dual combo inputs with independent volume controls, meaning you can dial in your mix without tap-dancing around a separate mixer. Want to jam along to a backing track between sets? Just beam it straight from your phone via Bluetooth.
Dual Combo XLR + 1/4" Inputs: Plug in your e-kit and another instrument at the same time with separate volume controls — no sharing nicely required.
XLR Direct Mix Output: Easily chain multiple speakers together or send your signal straight to the front-of-house sound engineer.
Bluetooth Connectivity: Wirelessly stream backing tracks or rehearsal playlists directly from your device without hunting for a spare cable.
Road-Ready Performance
At just 21 lbs. this is the rare piece of gigging gear that won’t make you question your life choices during load-in. It's built tough enough to survive the depths of your car trunk but remains light enough to carry in one hand. Plus, with three positioning setups, you can tilt it as a floor wedge, stand it upright, or pole-mount it to suit whatever the stage demands.
Lightweight (21 lbs.): A heavy-duty build that won't throw your back out before the downbeat.
Three Position Options: Tilt it as a floor wedge, stand it up, or mount it on a pole to aim your sound exactly where you need it.
Rugged Build Quality: Designed to survive the bumps, scrapes, and occasional accidental kicks of live gigs so your investment actually lasts.
The Bottom Line
The Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2 packs 2000 watts of clean power, flexible inputs, and a featherweight build that might put your chiropractor out of business, it's a serious powerhouse for drummers who care about their tone. If your e-kit deserves to sound like a real, fire-breathing drum kit — and let’s face it, it does — this is the amp that makes it happen.

Absolutely outstanding value and performance. These are not just for Edrums, kids, they have replaced my pa speakers that cost three times the price, and they're damn near silent in stand-by, which I love in the studio.
