Desono DX-IC8-W 8" 2-Way High Output Ceiling Mount Loudspeaker

Powerful In-Ceiling Loudspeaker for Demanding Audio Applications

The Desono DX-IC8-W is an 8-inch high-output coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker designed to provide exceptional performance in commercial and professional environments. Engineered for superior intelligibility and full-range coverage, this ceiling-mounted speaker blends powerful audio output with sleek design. Whether you're outfitting a conference room, retail environment, or entertainment venue, the DX-IC8 offers a balance of clarity, efficiency, and installation ease—making it a top choice for architects, integrators, and end users alike.

Consistent Wide-Angle Coverage in Any Room

Featuring a 100° conical beamwidth, the DX-IC8 delivers uniform sound dispersion across a wide area, ensuring that every listener experiences balanced audio—no matter where they're seated. The true coaxial design uses separate magnets for the low- and high-frequency drivers, which results in reduced distortion, wider frequency response (60 Hz – 20 kHz), and more precise sound reproduction. This makes it ideal for applications such as paging systems, background music, or even foreground audio with subwoofer reinforcement.

Efficient Installation with SpringLock Mounting System

Biamp’s patent-pending SpringLock™ mounting clamps simplify the installation process with a secure, single-handed locking mechanism. The speaker ships with all necessary mounting hardware, including tile support rails, a snap-on C-ring, and a paint mask for grille customization. The 4-position Euroblock connector and front-face wattage selector ensure hassle-free wiring and 70V/100V tap adjustments post-installation—perfect for dynamic system configurations.

Elegant Design for Modern Environments

Aesthetically, the DX-IC8-W is built with a modern, low-profile appearance featuring an edgeless magnetic grille that blends effortlessly into ceiling surfaces. Its clean white finish complements most interior décors while maintaining a discreet footprint. The grille can also be painted to match custom color schemes, further enhancing its integration with a room’s architecture.

Flexible Operation for a Variety of System Needs

With support for both 8-ohm and constant-voltage (70V/100V) operation, the DX-IC8 adapts seamlessly to distributed audio systems. It includes a high-quality internal autoformer for maximum output across voltage ranges, and it's compatible with recommended amplifiers rated from 150W to 300W. This makes it equally suited for small venues or as part of a larger, multi-zone system.

Rugged Construction with Safety-Certified Performance

Designed for commercial use, the DX-IC8 meets UL1480, UL2043, and CSA62368-1 safety standards and is certified for air handling spaces in accordance with NFPA 70 and NFPA 90. Its rugged internal structure supports high SPL output up to 123 dB peak while ensuring reliability over time—even under demanding usage conditions.
