DX8 – Dual 8” Coaxial Loudspeaker

Product Series: TQ Install

DX Series 3-way loudspeakers provide the output and pattern control of two low frequency transducers in an enclosure size that would typically house a conventional 2-way system. They include a single-neodymium-magnet coaxial transducer and a powerful ceramic magnet low frequency transducer. The two low frequency devices both operate down to the lowest frequencies, resulting in mutual coupling that provides unusually high efficiency and impact in the critical 80 Hz to 500 Hz range. The dual 8 inch model comes with a 90° x 60° horn.

Overview
The DX896 coaxial loudspeaker provides the output capability of
a dual 8 inch loudspeaker in an enclosure size typically associated
with a single 8 inch, 2-way system. Its coaxial transducer can be
rotated in 45° increments, which allows its coverage to be tailored
to best suit an application’s requirements, and its dedicated low
frequency transducer provides additional low frequency directivity
and mid bass impact. The enclosure’s 25° rear chamfers allow it to be
mounted close to walls; alternatively the enclosure may be rotated
for mounting close to ceilings and under balconies. When rotated,
the DX896’s low profile also makes it very useful as a high output
front fill system when placed on the edge of or installed into a stage
apron.
Fulcrum Acoustic’s TQ™ processing is an integral part of the DX896
design. Sound, innovative acoustical design combined with state
of the art digital processing leads to exceptional clarity and precise
transient response, even at very high sound pressure levels. The
required digital signal processing can be provided by one of many
supported platforms.
The DX896’s 90° x 60° high frequency horn is particularly effective
for systems where targeted pattern control is desirable. This makes
it an ideal choice for small live reinforcement systems, nightclubs,
restaurants, theme parks, A/V screening rooms, and more.
