Thursday, March 6th, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the MC-106b, 6.5″ loaded tower marine cans. The MC-106b cans are light weight, compact, high output, wide bandwidth water-resistant speakers designed for outdoor use in harsh environments. Each component of the design was engineered to optimize the performance and durability. Aesthetically, the speakers are enhanced with remote controlled multifunction RGB LEDs in the grill and rear logo panels. The reinforced ABS injected cabinet comes with an integrated metal clamp featuring 45 degree locking tilt for secure and long lasting mountability.

Sound quality of the MCs was a priority in the design process where DD AUDIO opted for premium parts to be used. The 6.5” midwoofer cone is an injected molded poly composite. Selected for being light weight yet highly rigid, this poly composite material is internally dampened to yield an optimal combination of high output and smooth midrange response. The motor system uses a large OD for high magnetic flux to high overall efficiency and control. The 25mm dome tweeter also uses an oversized motor to play at high levels without strain.

The MC-106b 6.5s are tuned for full, rich sound belying their compact size. High efficiency design requirements enable high output on modest amplifier power while the overall light weight prevents the system from being too top heavy.

Check out the 6.5 inch MC-106b Loaded Tower Marine Cans today, and be sure to take a look at all the latest Adventure Ready products from DD AUDIO.

Friday, February 21st, 2025 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the VO-XN300s. These new Voice Optimized Series Neo Coaxials continue the tradition of blending the latest in Hi-Fidelity technology with the qualities of high-end Pro Audio to produce a tonally smooth, low distortion frequency response over a wide bandwidth through an undeniably powerful broadcast to give listeners near and far a gratifying interaction with loud and clear audio.

The VO-XN300 replaces the VO-XNa models, starting with 6.5” and 5.25” options. The 6.5” combo drivers feature a larger Neodymium motor than their predecessors, accommodating a new voice coil that increased to 1.8” for a 25% greater area, resulting in substantially improved power handling and output capability, while the more compact 5.25” option is made to fit in Honda Gold Wings, Indian motorcycles, and even some retro rides.

All VO-XN300s feature the recently introduced 4th generation of B1 compression driver, introduced separately in late 2024 as the VO-MBTN125 Mico Bullet Tweeter. Fully integrated with the VO Neo Mids, this titanium dome tweeter offers the same outstanding performance and quality as its predecessor in a smaller package making, giving installers more space in stock locations for loud and clear audio with a massive frequency range.

As with most Voice Optimized speakers, these coaxials include exclusive adventure ready design features, like sealed voice coil gaps and water resistant, synthetic resin cones made for unyielding rigidity and ultra-light moving mass, all to overcome the harsh conditions and environmental noise you’ll encounter on road and off.

Check out the 6.5 inch VO-XN306 and 5.25 inch VO-XN305 today, and don’t forget the VO-MBTN125 Micro for all those tight spots in pillars, dashboards and more.
