DESCRIPTION
The Desono COLW81 two-way 8 x 3.3"
column loudspeaker is an excellent
choice when sonic clarity and predictable
directional control are required from an
unobtrusive loudspeaker designed to blend
in with the background.
The highly-focused dispersion pattern
and improved speech intelligibility of the
COLW81 enables it to excel in reverberant
environments like houses of worship and
auditoria, while it's weather-resistant
construction allows it to be used in outdoor
applications such as patios or concourses
The COLW81 utilizes a 4-position
switchable transformer ranging from 15W
to 80W with low-impedance bypass for
constant-voltage operation, making it an
excellent choice for large areas of BGM.
The Desono COLW81 is an excellent
choice for both indoor and outdoor
distributed audio applications that need
speech intelligibility and background
music reproduction
