Danley SM80 - ranked #74 of 83 12-Inch PA Speakers · Editor's rating 2.8/5

#74 Danley SM80 Passive eBay

Pros: Specified at 134dB peak from a molded, pole-mountable 29.5kg box, with a conical 80 degree pattern that is easy to aim. With an ideal subwoofer the vendor data scores 3.07. Measured bass extension of 150Hz (-3dB).

Cons: Vendor measurements show bass stopping at 150Hz (-3dB) and about 99Hz (-10dB), so it must be paired with subwoofers, and its standalone score is -1.06. The on-axis response is uneven (1.41dB average deviation). Sold through dealers with no published price.
