Community DS8-B (Black) / DS8-W (White) 8-Inch 2-Way Surface Mount

Community DS8-B (Black) / DS8-W (White) 8-Inch 2-Way Surface Mount

The Community Distributed Design Series Community DS8-B is a professionally designed full-range, compact, two-way system, that's made ideal for use in installations where space is a truly important. Easily outperforming loudspeakers of a larger size format, the DS8 comes providing high power handling, high sensitivity and realistic sound reproduction. It comes along with a modern architectural appearance that aesthetically capable of merging well in most environments, made combined along with weather-resistant capability suitable for use in indirect outdoor use, the DS8 is possible to be used in a wide variety of speech and music applications. It comes equipped along with a built-in autoformer, allowing the full loudspeaker output to be realized with 70V or 100V distribution lines. A convenient front-accessible power tap switch is hidden behind a rotatable logo. Installation is made simple and flexible with the use of the included Infin-A-Ball™ multi-angle wall mounting bracket which is allowing the low profile mounting and precise positioning of the enclosure over a broad tiltswivel range
