The Desono DX-IC8 rewrites the cost-to-performance equation for high-end ceiling loudspeakers. Able to fulfill a wide variety of needs, the DX-IC8 exceeds the performance of competing high-ceiling models. Foreground music, high-level paging, and augmentation of large music systems as a delay or fill speaker in ancillary zones are all within the capability of this versatile performer. It is ideal for high ceiling applications.

Uniform voicing among the Desono DX product family makes for an easy match to the other models in the series, while a host of design innovations set the DX-IC8 apart from other products in its size and price range. Featuring a genuine coaxial design with separate magnets for the LF and HF drivers, the DX-IC8 exhibits reduced distortion and industry-leading sensitivity permitting 3 dB to 6 dB greater output level, while requiring half the amplification power of competing products.
