The DT8R is a ceiling superstar with excellent value for money for multi-room applications and home theaters. Enjoy the performance of large speakers, near-invisibility, and unsurpassed ease of installation.
Bold and powerful, the DT8R features an Woofer and Pivoting Dome Tweeter in a round form factor engineered for in-ceiling audio excellence. Every component in the DT8R is conceived and developed in-house for a listening experience that delivers and a product that endures.
Teeming with high-tech components such as annealed aluminum tweeters, polypropylene mineral-filled mid/bass cones, and anti-diffraction surfaces, the DT Series reproduces audio with the legendary voicing you've come to expect from Definitive Technology.
The ultralight, rigid construction of the DT8R's aluminum dome tweeter enables it to play significantly higher frequencies than can hear, allowing for optimum linearity within the range of human hearing. The swivel mechanism lets installers orient the tweeter for precise direct sound or diffuse surround sound- or anything in between.
Using only four common tools and a pencil, installers will find it a breeze to install the DT8R. With strong yet lightweight construction, integrated pivoting lock arms, paintable grilles, and magnetic grille fasteners, you’ll have your DT8R installed and playing sweet audio in no time.
When using DT8R as front speakers in a home theater setup or as stereo speakers in a distributed audio system, installers can aim the tweeter toward the main listening position for improved imaging and detail. When using as rear/surround speakers, installers can aim the tweeter toward an adjacent wall or ceiling for a more diffuse sound field.
Rotating lock arms, magnetically-attached grilles, and heavy-gauge speaker wire push terminals enable a faster, simpler installation using fewer tools.
All DT Series speaker grilles and grille frames are paintable, with easy step-by-step instructions. Once you have your perfect look, powerful neodymium magnets attach the grilles to the speakers for a secure, tool-free finish.
