DK 8 MW - 100 V/70 V/8 OHM

Speakers Overview

The DK 8 MW - 100 V/70 V/8 OHM is a round horn loudspeaker manufactured by Visaton GmbH & Co. KG. It features an 8-ohm impedance and supports multiple voltage configurations including 100V, 70V, and direct 8-ohm operation. The unit has a rated power handling of 15W and delivers a sound pressure level of 108 dB. Its frequency response ranges from 450 Hz to 5.5 kHz with a self-resonant frequency at approximately 300 Hz. The physical dimensions are 232.00 mm in diameter and 309.00 mm in height.

Speakers Feature Summary

• Re-entrant horn design for high sound pressure levels
• Multi-voltage compatibility for flexible installation
• Optimized for clear speech reproduction

Speakers Applications

• Public address systems
• Speech projection environments
• Commercial audio installations

Speakers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage configuration required for your system before ordering, as this model supports 100V, 70V, and 8 Ohm inputs. Confirm that the mechanical dimensions fit the intended mounting space. Ensure the power rating of 15W aligns with the amplifier output capabilities to prevent damage. Check for any regional compliance requirements such as RoHS or REACH status if applicable to your project specifications.

Speakers Selection Notes

Select this component when high intelligibility of spoken word is prioritized over full-range music reproduction. The re-entrant horn structure provides efficient acoustic coupling suitable for demanding acoustic environments. Consider the physical size constraints carefully due to the large diaphragm and horn assembly. This model is ideal for applications requiring robust performance in noisy settings where voice clarity is critical.

Speakers Part Context

This part belongs to Visaton's DK series of horn loudspeakers, which are engineered for professional audio applications. The series emphasizes durability and high efficiency. The DK 8 MW variant specifically targets mid-range frequencies, making it distinct from full-range or tweeter models within the same product line. It represents a specialized solution for voice reinforcement rather than general-purpose music playback.

Speakers Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Visaton DK series models with similar voltage ratings and horn designs. Verify that replacement units maintain the same 15W power handling and 108 dB sensitivity to ensure consistent system performance. Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed if mounting hardware is fixed.
