Biamp Desono Surface Mount Loudspeakers are low profile, compact enclosures with dynamic sound quality and excellent intelligibility. The subwoofer is available for extended low frequency enhancement.
For larger installations, the 8-inch DS8 provides higher sound pressure levels, higher sensitivity and greater bass extension. The DS8 also easily outperforms competitive 10-inch format loudspeakers. The DS models are equipped with built-in autoformers, allowing the full loudspeaker output to be realized with low impedance or 70V or 100V distribution lines.
All Desono series surface mount loudspeakers are elegantly styled with paintable black and white finishes. For durability and improved sonic quality, the cabinets feature thick-wall, internally-reinforced high impact ABS construction with rounded surfaces that greatly reduce the acoustic resonances common in flat-sided cabinets. The easy to install enclosures also feature zinc-rich epoxy dual-layer powder-coated grilles and mounting brackets, stainless steel hardware and an included IP56 wiring cover.
With a modern architectural appearance that aesthetically merges well in most environments, combined with weather-resistant capability, high output and HF compression driver intelligibility, the D SERIES surface mount models are ideally suited for use in a wide variety of high quality speech and music applications.
