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.
