Product Overview

The Biamp Desono EX-S8 is an 8-inch two-way surface-mount loudspeaker in a black finish that provides detailed voicing with strong projection. It is an excellent fill or distributed loudspeaker for systems where pristine voice clarity, higher output, and more bass are desired. This model ships with the included indexing U-bracket and weather cover. It is rated for indoor and outdoor use.

Product Description

The EX-S8 uses coaxially mounted HF and LF drivers for uniform coverage, with a 5-position switch that selects 70V/100V taps or low-impedance bypass. Designed for fast installation, Biamp's patented ClickMount brackets offer two distinct mounting options: a pan-tilt bracket with indexed aiming control for quick vertical or horizontal mounting, and a U-bracket for low-profile or exterior use that includes a ClickPlug with an integrated gland nut for weather-resistant applications. Both brackets are theft and tamper resistant. This version is supplied with the indexing U-bracket and weather cover. The loudspeaker is ETL listed to UL 1480A, CSA 62368-1, CE marked, RoHS compliant, and EN54-24 certified.
