A Closer Look at the DW-80 PRO Design and Build
– Discreet, border-free frame with paintable, micro-perforated magnetic grille for a near-invisible installation
– Robust 8.0" mineral-filled woofer ensures low-distortion midrange and tight bass down to 35 Hz (-3 dB)
– Pivoting 1" aluminium oxide dome tweeter delivers pinpoint imaging anywhere in the room
– Premium crossover network optimises driver integration for smooth, balanced response up to 25 kHz
Definitive Technology’s innovative two-piece toolless mounting system means you can fit each DW-80 PRO speaker in minutes — no clamps, no screws, no fuss. The low-profile depth (92.9 mm) and pre-construction bracket options guarantee compatibility with most stud walls and ceilings. Our installers at The Audio Tailor love how quickly these fade into the background, letting the music take centre stage.
– Pivoting aluminium oxide dome tweeter: adjust up to 15° to target sweet spots anywhere in your listening space, achieving lifelike stereo imaging and crisp high frequencies.
– Mineral-filled polypropylene woofer: lightweight yet rigid, offering natural midrange clarity and authoritative bass without enclosure resonance.
– Sophisticated crossover: precise voicing network maintains a flat response from 35 Hz to 25 kHz, ensuring seamless driver blending and minimal phase shift.
– Sensitivity of 87 dB (2.83 V/1 m) and 6 Ω nominal impedance makes the DW-80 PRO an easy load for amplifiers rated 20–120 W.
Whether you’re enjoying orchestral recordings, high-bitrate streaming or immersive Dolby Atmos soundtracks, the DW-80 PRO maintains composure and detail at any volume.
