Audiophile-Grade Acoustic Technologies

At the heart of the DC-65 PRO SI is a 6.5” mineral-filled poly woofer paired with dual pivoting 0.75” aluminium oxide dome tweeters. The tweeters pivot to tailor dispersion, ensuring precise imaging and an expansive soundstage from every listening position. A premium crossover network integrates the drivers seamlessly, offering a smooth frequency response from 36Hz to 25kHz (-3dB) and an on-axis sensitivity of 89dB.

With IP55-rated protection against dust and low-pressure water streams, these speakers bring exceptional audio clarity to bathrooms, kitchens, pool decks and alfresco living areas without fear of moisture or humidity compromising performance.

Installation and Integration

The innovative toolless mounting system utilises pivoting dog-leg arms for a secure fit in minutes. A two-piece design and included hole-cutting guide streamline new-build or retrofit installs, saving valuable time and labour. For those building a multi-room ecosystem, timbre-matching across the Dymension, Dymension CI and Mythos series ensures uniform tonality and cohesive performance.
