The Desono™ DX surface mount loudspeakers provide high efficiency, high output, high intelligibility and low distortion in an attractive design. These loudspeakers install quickly and have the same components and voicing as the DX ceiling loudspeakers. The DX surface mount loudspeakers are equipped with a built-in 70 V/100 V autoformer and low impedance input.

For larger installations, the 8" coaxial DX-S8 provides higher sound pressure levels, higher sensitivity and greater bass extension. The DX-S8 also easily outperforms competitive 10" format loudspeakers. With a modern appearance that merges well in most environments, combined with weather-resistant capability suitable for direct outdoor use, the DX-S8 can be used in a wide variety of speech and music applications.
