DS18 PRO-HY8.4MSL 8-Inch Shallow Coaxial Hybrid Mid-range Loudspeakers

The DS18 PRO-HY8.4MSL is a slim-profile, high-output 8-inch hybrid loudspeaker designed to deliver maximum volume and full-range audio performance in tight spacing applications. Engineered specifically for open-air environments—including motorcycles, UTVs, side-by-sides, and custom Jeep pods—this hybrid speaker combines a powerful mid-range driver and a high-intensity compression driver horn into a single, shallow-mount frame.

Built to handle challenging conditions, the speaker features an IP65 water-resistant rating. It utilizes a water-resistant paper cone, a treated cloth surround, and an included protective grille backed with water-and-sun shielding cloth. With a mounting depth of just 3.11 inches, it easily drops into shallow fairings or restricted panels while projecting clean, distortion-free sound directly through heavy wind and road noise.

Key Features:

• 2-Way Hybrid Technology: Features an 8-inch mid-range woofer combined with a built-in 1-inch titanium compression driver horn for balanced, full-range frequency delivery.

• Shallow Slim Design: Compact mounting depth of 3.11 inches allows for streamlined installation in applications where standard pro-audio drivers will not fit.

• IP65 Weather Resistance: Water-resistant cone and specialized cloth-backed mesh grille safeguard internal components against moisture, dust, and UV exposure.

• Dual-Magnet Motor Structure: Utilizes a rugged ferrite magnet for the mid-range cone and a lightweight, high-flux neodymium magnet for the compression driver to achieve peak acoustic efficiency.

• High Sensitivity Rating: Boasts a 94 dB sensitivity rating, enabling extreme loudness and clarity even when paired with compact amplifiers.
