Earlier today, I did an overview on the new DN-506SA Professional monitor from Denon. As I said on that overview, Denon held a presentation on January 22, where they announced some of their new audio products for 2015. As part of their presentation, they introduced a new line consisting of 4 new monitors. One of those monitors is the new 220-watt, tri-amplified, three-way DN-508SA Monitor.

This unit was designed specifically for the support of presentation material, collaborative discussions and multimedia playback. It features a 1-inch silk dome tweeter combined with a 8-inch Kevlar woven woofer. A three-position proximity control adapts the speaker’s bass response for placement next to walls. Standard VESA mounting holes under each cabinet extend placement from tabletops and shelves to walls and ceilings. As for connections, they include balanced XLR and ¼-inch and RCA inputs to ensure simple connection to common audio sources. It comes with detachable metal grille surrounded by a liquid-smoke metallic trim. A custom waveguide ensures smooth, wide audio dispersion to the audience and, when powered on, a blue LED assists with placement orientation. Let us know what you think about this product and don't forget to share it with your friends.

Check out the following features for more details!
