DVS 8T-WH
Designed to excel in a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the full range DVS 8T-WH is an ultra-compact 280-Watt surface mount loudspeaker that provides both exceptional value and inspiring acoustic performance. The DVS 8T-WH is ideally suited for stereo or mono background/foreground music applications in theme parks, hotels, restaurants and bars, retail stores, as well as corporate AV, residential developments, and houses of worship.
Superb Point-Source Performance
DVS 8T-WH’s point-source design comprises a 200 mm (8.00") mid bass driver with a coaxially mounted 19 mm (0.75") high frequency section mounted in a stylish injection moulded ABS enclosure. Certified for water and dust ingress protection to IP64 standard, the DVS 8T-WH is an exceptional choice for challenging environments such as indoor swimming pools, saunas, or work areas with unusually high levels of dust or moisture, and outdoor applications where weather conditions are moderate.
Attractive and Easy to Install
The highly durable and scuff resistant ABS enclosure features a white painted finish, and comes with an aesthetically pleasing aluminium grille. Installation is quick and easy, thanks to the included colour-matched steel mounting bracket and finger-adjustable hardware on the enclosure top and bottom. The DVS 8T-WH is equipped with an internally mounted low insertion loss line transformer for 70 V or 100 V distributed sound applications. Wattage taps are configurable over a range of settings via a rotary tapping switch located on the back panel. Phoenix connectors for input and link output are provided for convenience.
