Overview

A black two-way 6.5-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker rated 120 W continuous, the Biamp Desono DX-IC6-B covers 90 Hz to 20 kHz with 94 dB sensitivity and 140° conical dispersion. Its 70V and 100V transformer taps suit paging and background music in indoor rooms, and its Zoom certification makes it a fit for meeting rooms and boardrooms across Doha and the wider country.

What the Desono DX-IC6-B is

The Biamp Desono DX-IC6-B is a two-way ceiling loudspeaker built around a 6.5-inch low-frequency driver and a 1-inch high-frequency driver mounted on a shared axis. Its black finish matches RAL 9017. The unit is 6.75 inches (171 mm) deep with an 11.46-inch (291 mm) diameter body, and it needs a 10.25-inch (260 mm) cutout. At 8.0 lbs (3.63 kg), it is a light, low-profile fitting for ceilings where a bulky speaker would stand out.

Acoustic and power figures to check

Frequency range: 90 Hz to 20 kHz
Sensitivity: 94 dB at 1 W/1 m
Maximum output: 114 dB at 1 m, 124 dB peak
Dispersion: 140° conical
Power handling: 120 W continuous, 480 W peak
Impedance: 8 Ω

Sensitivity tells you how much sound the speaker produces from each watt the amplifier sends it. The manufacturer states that the DX-IC6-B delivers 3 to 6 dB more output while needing half the amplifier power of comparable ceiling loudspeakers, which can reduce amplifier sizing on a new build. The 140° conical dispersion gives a broad footprint, so plan spacing from the room's dimensions and ceiling height. Check the total tap wattage against your amplifier before finalising the layout.

Tap settings and installation

The front-face wattage selector lets an installer change the 70V or 100V tap without removing the magnetic grille. The 70V taps are 60 W, 30 W, 15 W and 7.5 W, while the 100V taps are 60 W, 30 W and 15 W. SpringLock mounting clamps, which are patent-pending, hold the back can on the included tile rails and use a snap-on C-ring, so one person can place the unit overhead. Conduit knock-outs are designed to meet Chicago plenum air-space requirements.

Where it fits in Qatar

Three situations suit this speaker well. A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out corridors and classrooms can run paging and background music through the same ceiling zones. A corporate boardroom in West Bay with a video conferencing setup benefits from a Zoom-certified loudspeaker designed for conferencing environments. A hotel or serviced apartment lobby in The Pearl can use the unit for background music and announcements, but the manufacturer specifies indoor use only, so any space exposed to heat or dust should be confirmed with the SmartRooms Qatar team first.

What to plan before you order

A site survey of the ceiling void, depth above the tiles and access for the 260 mm cutout
An amplifier with 70V or 100V output sized to the total tap wattage
A decision on whether a DX-IC10SUB subwoofer is needed for extended bass
Quantity and zone layout, with black or white finish chosen per room

Questions about Desono DX-IC6

What is the Biamp Desono DX-IC6-B used for?

It is a ceiling loudspeaker for paging, background music and speech in indoor commercial buildings. Its 90 Hz to 20 kHz range and 94 dB sensitivity suit conference rooms, corridors and lobbies, and the manufacturer lists applications including theatres, malls and airports. It is best suited to spaces where clear speech and even coverage from the ceiling matter more than bass-heavy sound.

How is the black DX-IC6-B different from the white DX-IC6-W?

The black DX-IC6-B, item 920-00104-10000, uses RAL 9017 black, while the white DX-IC6-W, item 920-00104-20000, uses RAL 9016 white. Both share the same 6.5-inch two-way coaxial driver layout, 120 W continuous power, 94 dB sensitivity and 140° dispersion. Choose the colour that matches your ceiling tiles or fittings, and quote the item number you need when you request a quote.

Which 70V and 100V transformer taps does it offer?

The 70V taps are 60 W, 30 W, 15 W and 7.5 W, and the 100V taps are 60 W, 30 W and 15 W. You change the tap with the front-face wattage selector, so the magnetic grille does not need to be removed during setup. Set each tap so the total wattage on a line matches the amplifier's output rating, and confirm the line voltage with your amplifier supplier before ordering.

How much amplifier power does each speaker need?

The speaker is rated 120 W continuous and 480 W peak, with 8 Ω impedance and 94 dB sensitivity at 1 W/1 m. The manufacturer states it needs half the amplifier power of comparable ceiling loudspeakers while delivering 3 to 6 dB more output. Because the selected tap sets the wattage drawn from a 70V or 100V line, size the amplifier from the tap settings and the number of speakers in each zone.

Is the DX-IC6-B certified for Zoom?

Yes, the manufacturer lists it as Zoom Certified, which means it is certified for use with Zoom software for dependable compatibility. It is designed for conferencing environments, where ceiling speakers carry the voices of remote participants into the room. Before buying, check with your video conferencing integrator that the rest of the room system works with your Zoom platform.

Can I add a subwoofer for more bass?

Yes. The manufacturer says the DX-IC6-B pairs with the DX-IC10SUB subwoofer to extend low-frequency response for a full-range system. The speaker's own range runs from 90 Hz to 20 kHz. Consider this pairing where background music is central to the brief, such as a hotel lobby in The Pearl or a retail area in Lusail, and confirm the subwoofer's fit and wiring with your installer.

Will it fit my existing ceiling?

It needs a 10.25-inch (260 mm) cutout, and the body measures 11.46 inches (291 mm) across and 6.75 inches (171 mm) deep. At 8.0 lbs (3.63 kg), it is light, and SpringLock clamps hold the back can on the tile rails. Before ordering, check the ceiling void depth, tile rail layout and cable access. A free site survey from SmartRooms Qatar can check this in an office in West Bay or a school in Al Wakrah before the order is placed.

Can it be installed outdoors or in a hot, dusty area?

No. The manufacturer lists the operating environment as indoor only, and the source data gives no operating temperature range. This matters in Qatar, where summer temperatures can exceed 45°C and dust storms are common. For covered entrances, car parks or any space exposed to heat or dust, ask the SmartRooms Qatar team to confirm the environment before you request a quote.

How should I plan the layout for a boardroom in West Bay?

Start with the room's length, width and ceiling height, then position speakers to cover the seating evenly while keeping them clear of the projection screen and air-conditioning outlets. The 140° conical dispersion gives a wide footprint, so spacing depends on the room rather than a fixed rule. Note the tap setting for each unit on the drawing, and send the plan with your quote request so the installer can confirm the cutouts.

Can a government ministry or school buy it on a purchase order?

Yes. SmartRooms Qatar accepts purchase orders (LPOs) and supports government tenders, including those on Monaqasat, alongside payment by bank transfer or cheque. When ordering several DX-IC6-B units for a ministry or school, state the item number, finish, quantity and tap settings on the purchase order. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and a site survey can be arranged before the order is confirmed.

What warranty does the Desono DX-IC6-B come with?

The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty on the Desono DX-IC6-B, and SmartRooms Qatar supplies the product with that manufacturer warranty. Quote item number 920-00104-10000 when you request pricing so the black finish and warranty are recorded on your order. Professional installation planning is also available, including a site survey before any ceiling work begins.
