Danley Sound Labs

Danley Go-2, up on the roof

The van carries Danley GO2 8CX loudspeakers on its roof, This versatile series of compact loudspeakers can meet a wide range of needs. Each incorporates their SynergyTM design philosophy and crossover topology – resulting in extremely flat phase response and performance that is pure Danley.

The layout means the whole sound leaves from a single point, which is why a race briefing or a finish line call stays intelligible at the far side of a field. Call it home all day in Irish weather too – these are built to be outside.
