Additional Photos:
The Alesis Strike Amp 8 MK2 is a high-performance bi-amped speaker specially designed for Electronic Drums. It outputs a massive 2000 watts, so you have enough headroom for almost any performance or rehearsal. The heavy duty 8 woofer and 1 high-frequency compression driver are tuned for a flat response across the spectrum to deliver the most accurate and authentic representation of acoustic and electronic drum sounds from your instrument. Strike Amp 8 MK2s performance is exceptional, with a max 130dB SPL and a 52Hz-20kHz frequency range; wide enough to deliver the full thump of your kick drum, right up to the crystal-clear snap of your snare and hi-hats.
All the Connections You Need - including Bluetooth
Strike Amp 8 MK2 features two combo XLR + 1/4" combo inputs for connecting your electronic drum kit and/or a multipad instrument, each with their own independent volume controls. You can also wirelessly connect a mobile device to the Strike Amp 8 MK2 via Bluetooth, so you can stream music wirelessly while rehearsing or during set breaks. There is also an XLR output for chaining more than one speaker together or sending the signal from your Strike Amp out to a front of house mix.
Adapts to Any Stage or Room
Stages and rehearsal rooms can easily become dense and muddy sounding as lower frequencies from different instruments battle each other; Strike Amp 8 MK2 has a HPF EQ switch to quickly pull troublesome frequencies out and make sure your tone sits perfectly in the mix. Unwanted electrical noise can also be a common problem; Strike Amp 8 MK2s ground lift switch can eliminate hums and buzzes resulting from ground loops.
Road-Ready Lightweight Design
Strike Amp 8 MK2 is rugged yet lightweight and easy to transport (at 21 lbs. / 9.53 kg) making load-ins at the gig or rehearsal space easier than ever. While you can use Strike Amp 8 MK2 in its intended wedge position, its versatile design means that it can also be used in an upright or pole-mounted position, making it easier to direct your sound wherever you need it, which is especially helpful at outdoor gigs or other places where PA backline is limited.
Powerful, Professional Sound
2000 watts of peak power ensures you have enough headroom for almost any live performance or rehearsal.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
