About Denon DN-308S

Outstanding performance for presentations, meetings and multimedia reproduction
The two-way DN-308S is a premium bi-amplified loudspeaker, designed to support presentations, meetings and critical multimedia playback. The speaker features studio-grade acoustics, luxurious aesthetics and innovative proximity controls for flexible placement options.

• 8" woven Kevlar low frequency driver
• 1" natural silk dome high frequency driver
• 130-watt (70 LF + 60 HF) class A/B bi-amplification
• 3-Position Acoustic Space control
• 4 VESA mounts on bottom panel and M10 rigging port

Top Quality Components
The 130-watt DN-308S provides you with clear, dynamic sound reproduction for mid- and small-size meeting and presentation spaces. Combining 1.25-inch silk dome tweeter with an 8-inch woven Kevlar woofer, it offers a dynamic, wide-range frequency response far beyond the capabilities of the conventional in-ceiling or laptop speakers usually used in these circumstances. A three-position proximity control adapts its bass response for placement next to or away from walls, so the sound is always clear and well balanced, regardless of its position in the room.

Standard VESA mounting holes on the bottom panel of the cabinet expand your placement options from just tabletops and shelves to walls and ceilings. Balanced XLR and 1/4-inch (6.3mm) inputs ensure simple connection to common audio sources. A custom high-frequency waveguide precisely focuses and directs the treble energy into the listening field, ensuring a solid and stable sonic image while minimizing the random acoustic "scatter" that would otherwise cause the acoustic image to be unfocused and indistinct.

High-Powered Internal Amplification
Two individual internal amplifiers provide power to each of the speaker elements. These amplifiers are specifically tailored to the drivers they are matched with, for seamless operation and system synergy that is virtually impossible to equal using bulky, expensive outboard amplifiers and passive speakers. Smooth-sounding, high-current Class A/B amplification (130 watts total) provides ample headroom for even the most demanding situations. The carefully selected crossover points divide the frequency spectrum into very precise bands so that each individual driver only handles the exact frequency range where it is most accurate.

Beautiful Aesthetics and Thoughtful User-Friendly Touches
Finally, the DN-308S pays close attention to cabinet details as well. It's radiused at the edges to aid dispersion and reduce audibly-destructive edge diffraction. Also, the cabinet's internal bracing has been optimized to ensure that the drivers have a solid, vibration-free platform from which to launch their sound and it used computer calculations to determine the woofer port's characteristics for the best possible bass response. The speakers come with detachable metal grilles framed by an elegant liquid-smoke metallic trim. When powered on, a blue LED assists with placement orientation. The grille attaches to the baffle board by way of hidden neodymium magnets, which ensures a smooth, fastener-free appearance, adding the final refined touch to its sophisticated design.
