8c

Introduced 2018$12,500 MSRP

The Dutch & Dutch 8c is a compact, stand-mounted, three-way active loudspeaker with fully integrated DSP, digital crossover, and Class D amplification, distinguished by its acoustic cardioid midrange/bass design that minimizes rear-wall reflections. Each cabinet houses dedicated Pascal Audio Class D amplifiers, Texas Instruments DACs, and an Analog Devices DSP chip that linearizes frequency response and aligns phase using FIR filtering, making the 8c a Roon Ready, network-connected all-in-one monitor requiring no external amplification.
