The Biamp Desono DX-S5-UB-W is a compact, high-output 5-inch surface mount loudspeaker designed for professional commercial audio installations. Part of Biamp's Desono DX Series, the DX-S5-UB-W combines high intelligibility, wide coverage, low distortion, and flexible 70V/100V or low-impedance operation in a durable white enclosure.
Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the DX-S5-UB-W features an IP54-rated enclosure, marine-grade aluminum grille, and included U-bracket for flexible installation and precise aiming. Its compact design makes it an excellent choice for restaurants, hotels, retail spaces, corporate facilities, houses of worship, sports venues, and outdoor entertainment areas.
The DX-S5-UB-W uses a 5-inch low-frequency driver and coaxially mounted 1-inch compression driver to provide consistent, full-range audio coverage. With a nominal 130° horizontal × 125° vertical dispersion pattern, the speaker delivers even sound throughout distributed audio environments while maintaining excellent speech intelligibility.
High-Output 5-Inch Coaxial Design
The Desono DX-S5-UB-W uses a two-way coaxial loudspeaker design with:
-
5-inch low-frequency driver
-
1-inch exit compression driver
-
1.5 kHz crossover frequency
-
130° × 125° nominal coverage
-
92 dB sensitivity at 2.83V
-
75 Hz–20 kHz operating range
-
Low-distortion, high-efficiency performance
The coaxial driver arrangement provides consistent coverage from a compact enclosure, making the DX-S5-UB-W suitable for both music playback and speech reinforcement.
70V, 100V & Low-Impedance Operation
The DX-S5-UB-W provides flexible connectivity for commercial distributed audio systems.
The integrated transformer offers selectable power taps for 70V and 100V distributed audio systems, while low-impedance operation provides additional flexibility for applications that do not use constant-voltage amplification.

Designed for Indoor & Outdoor Commercial Audio
The DX-S5-UB-W is engineered for installations where loudspeakers may be exposed to demanding environmental conditions.
Its enclosure uses high-impact UV-resistant ABS, while the grille and mounting hardware use marine-grade aluminum construction. The speaker carries an IP54 environmental rating and has been tested for solar radiation, salt mist, sulfur dioxide, and chlorine exposure.
This makes the DX-S5-UB-W well suited for:
-
Outdoor entertainment areas
-
Restaurant patios
-
Hospitality facilities
-
Sports facilities
-
Commercial buildings
-
Transportation environments
-
Retail spaces

Included U-Bracket for Flexible Installation
The DX-S5-UB-W includes a U-bracket and ClickPlug connection system, providing a practical installation solution for commercial audio contractors and system integrators.
The U-bracket allows the loudspeaker to be mounted securely to a variety of structures while providing indexed aiming control. The ClickPlug connection system simplifies installation and provides a secure speaker connection.
The DX-S5 family is also available with Biamp's ClickMount pan-tilt bracket, depending on the model selected.
Excellent Speech Intelligibility & Wide Coverage
For commercial paging and voice reinforcement applications, intelligibility is critical. The DX-S5-UB-W combines high efficiency with a wide 130° × 125° coverage pattern to distribute sound evenly throughout the listening area.
The speaker is also designed with the same components and voicing as Biamp Desono DX ceiling loudspeakers, helping maintain consistent sound when surface-mount and ceiling speakers are used together in the same installation.
