The Biamp Desono DX-S5 is a compact, high-performance 5-inch surface mount loudspeaker designed for distributed commercial audio systems that require excellent intelligibility, consistent coverage, and reliable outdoor capability.
Part of the Desono DX loudspeaker family, the DX-S5 shares the same acoustic components and voicing as the DX ceiling loudspeakers, ensuring tonal consistency across mixed installation environments.
Despite its compact footprint, the DX-S5 delivers high efficiency, strong output, and low distortion, making it ideal for installations where space is limited but audio performance is critical.
High-Performance Compact Design
The DX-S5 features a coaxial 2-way driver configuration, combining a 5-inch low-frequency driver with a 1-inch compression driver for uniform coverage and excellent speech intelligibility.
Its wide 130° x 125° coverage pattern ensures even sound distribution throughout listening areas while minimizing hot spots.
Flexible Mounting with ClickMount™
Installation is fast and flexible using Biamp’s patented ClickMount™ pan-tilt bracket, allowing precise aiming with a low-profile design.
Key mounting benefits include:
-
Vertical or horizontal installation
-
Pan-tilt adjustment without repositioning the bracket
-
Power tap selection before mounting
-
Tamper-resistant bracket design
Models are also available with a U-Bracket and ClickPlug connector for installations requiring additional mounting options.
Built for Indoor & Outdoor Use
The DX-S5 features a weather-resistant design suitable for direct outdoor exposure, making it ideal for both interior and exterior commercial installations.
Durable construction includes:
-
UV-resistant high-impact ABS enclosure
-
Marine-grade aluminum grille and bracket
-
Powder-coated finish
-
