Experience premium audio with the Definitive Technology DC-80 MAX in-ceiling speaker, designed for both home theaters and multi-room music systems. With advanced acoustic technology, it delivers rich, dynamic sound while maintaining a sleek, discreet profile.
The DC-80 MAX features an 8″ pivoting mineral-filled poly woofer that ensures deep bass and a well-balanced midrange. Its 1″ aluminum oxide dome tweeter provides crisp, distortion-free highs, extending beyond human hearing for exceptional clarity. The pivoting design allows you to direct sound precisely where needed, creating an optimal listening experience in any room.
A three-position tweeter attenuation switch (-2 dB, flat, +2 dB) fine-tunes high-frequency output to accommodate different room acoustics. The patented Balanced Double Surround System (BDSS™) enhances woofer excursion and bass response, while the Linear Response Waveguide™ ensures even sound dispersion across the entire space.
Installation is effortless with its innovative, tool-free mounting system. The paintable, low-profile grille and hidden flange design allow it to blend seamlessly into ceilings for a virtually invisible appearance. Built to last, the DC-80 MAX boasts an IP55 rating, making it suitable for use in high-humidity areas like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and covered outdoor spaces.
Perfect for front or rear surround channels in a home theater, this speaker delivers an immersive audio experience. Whether used for movies, music, or gaming, the DC-80 MAX ensures superior sound quality with a discreet and stylish design.
