Desono ENT206 – Powerful Compact Column Loudspeaker with Extended Directional Control
The Desono™ ENT206 is a high-performance, weather-resistant column loudspeaker designed for superior speech and music reinforcement in acoustically challenging environments. As part of the ENT200 Series, the ENT206 is twice the height of the ENT203, offering extended low-frequency directional control and significantly more output for covering larger areas—all while maintaining a compact, visually unobtrusive design.
Equipped with six 80 mm LF cone drivers and two Compact Ribbon Emulator (CRE) HF tweeter arrays, the ENT206 delivers full-range, highly intelligible sound with a narrow 140° x 20° dispersion pattern—ideal for reverberant spaces where directivity and clarity are critical.
Perfect for indoor or outdoor installations, this versatile speaker is Zoom Certified, supports 70V/100V or low-impedance operation, and includes a pan-tilt bracket for easy, precise mounting. From houses of worship and hotel lobbies to transit stations and swimming pool areas, the ENT206 is built to perform reliably in both foreground and background sound systems—or as delay fill in larger setups.
