🔊 Clear, Wide, and Balanced Sound

At the core of the DN-108S is a 2-way coaxial design with an 8″ polypropylene woofer and 1″ silk-dome tweeter. This pairing ensures smooth frequency response with strong low-end presence and detailed highs—perfect for music playback or speech applications.

The speaker’s conical 115° coverage pattern provides wide sound dispersion, allowing fewer speakers to cover larger areas evenly. It’s a go-to choice for installers who want powerful, intelligible sound without hot spots or dead zones.

It also supports 8-ohm bypass for standard low-impedance systems, making it compatible with residential audio amps or premium AV receivers.
