DAS Audio has once again paved the way for success with the installment of their new DECO Series Loudspeakers to their product line. Engineered for high performance and aesthetic versatility, the DECO Series is designed to integrate seamlessly into both commercial and residential spaces while delivering the high-quality sound performance DAS is known for. This modern designed speaker series, crafted to be utilized as in-ceiling or pendant loudspeakers, includes various models tailored to different audio needs. DECO Series is making waves as the ideal distributed audio solution for environments such as auditoriums, houses of worship, hotel ballrooms, and meeting rooms.

All DECO speakers share a few highlighted features, which are significant technological and design additions. The first, which helps with efficient installations, is the auto-locking tabs for secure, hands-free mounting. All-speaker models can also be transformed into a pendant system using the optional PK accessory for added flexibility. This optional speaker solution is ideal for spaces where ceiling mounting is impractical, but an eye-pleasing installation is still a requirement. Another design benefit of this series is the frameless grille. This minor addition in black and white allows speakers to blend seamlessly into any environment to solve aesthetic needs.

Along with many other characteristics, the DAS engineering teams have put the spotlight on simplicity for this new speaker series. Every speaker in the series utilizes a multi-tap transformer for 8-ohm nominal impedance or in a 70V/100V line system. The addition of the easy-access power tap selector assures hassle-free power adjustments post-installation, while the 4-way Phoenix connectors simplify wiring and allow for easy parallel connections of multiple units. The engineering and design successes of the DECO Series speakers do not cease with good looks and professional performance. With long-term durability in mind, each speaker’s steel enclosure provides long-lasting performance, while the polypropylene front ensures reliable sound dispersion.

DECO Series was manufactured as a high-performance ceiling speaker system designed for premium audio delivery and aesthetic integration in various professional installations. Although each speaker system has similar looks on the outside and reliable execution on the performance side, it encompasses highly engineered differences that created the iconic DAS Audio “Sound with Soul.”
