The Denon Axis 8 speaker, Axis 12 speaker and Axis 12s subwoofer are the newest additions to the well known Denon DJ renowned for their high output and ability to convey excellent sound quality at the most demanding of times. The Axis 8 speaker and Axis 12 speaker boast a coaxial design whereby the high frequency compression driver is mounted at the centre of and at the same point as the low frequency driver. Not only is the definition, clarity and quality of sound improved by this design it also reduces the cabinet height by more than 30% (compared to usual speakers); useful at live performances with the audiences visual sightlines less impaired! The Axis 12s subwoofer is designed to be used for the most challenging of tasks as it holds a frequency response up to 38Hz and Sound Pressure Level (SPL) over 120dB. Due to its design of inbuilt handles and 35mm pole-mount inserts, the Axis 12s subwoofer is easily transportable ideal when travelling to and from venues.
