Biamp Desono D5 2-way White Wired 100 W

Easily fitting locations where larger models cannot, the D SERIES D5 provides designers and installers with an exciting new tool for high-end ceiling-mount loudspeaker systems. This innovative product provides performance normally associated with 6-inch or larger models, at a 4-inch budget. The D5’s capabilities include powerful, clear paging, background music, and mid-level foreground music, while uniform voicing technology makes it easy to combine the D5 with other members of the D SERIES product family. The D5 is particularly effective when augmented with the D10SUB or larger full-range models in the series.

True coaxial design boasts separate magnets for the LF and HF drivers for reduced distortion and industry-leading sensitivity. Providing 3 dB to 6 dB greater output level than competing products, the D5 typically requires only half the amplification power. The proprietary Tru-Phase™ waveguide and perfectly centered driver produce a consistently wide conical polar response up to 16 kHz. Community’s patented Carbon Ring Cone Technology™ increases the effective cone area to further reduce distortion while reinforcing the cone for improved durability.

Exclusive Drop-Stop™ and Twist-Assist™ tabs allow single-handed placement to speed installation and reduce labor time. Drop-Stop’s spring-loaded legs support the back can on the included tile rails and snap-on C-ring, so that the installer no longer needs to hold the can against the tile while tightening the clamps. Twist-Assist performs a similar function for the baffle assembly: when the loudspeaker back cans are pre-installed into a conduit system for termination at a later date, a simple twist of the baffle into the back can brings the Twist-Assist clips together, supporting the baffle assembly while the installer fastens the screws.

The front-face wattage selector switch enables quick adjustment of 70V/100V tap levels. A variety of installation accessories are available to accommodate different ceiling materials.
