  All the Chorus 800 V loudspeakers are

cloth for easy, risk-free cleaning.

 The Chorus V range offers models suitable for custom installation,  
the IC 706 V, IC 706 VST, IW 706 V and outdoor speaker OD 706 V.
This good-looking, two-way spea-
ker,  the only equipped with a 
 
7" 
(18cm) woofer, has the true 
spirit of the legendary dB19: 
powerful bass, a big speaker for 
a guaranteed rock ‘n’ roll sound.
Neutral and balanced, the Chorus 
806 V seduces by the richness of 
its upper midrange and the speed 
of its bass. An entirely refined spea-
ker, ideal to play in rooms under 20 
m
2
 without any limits. And easily 
larger spaces if it is combined with 
SW 800 V. 
Chorus 816 V makes the most of 
the 2 and a half-way configuration: 
elevated performance in lower 
octaves thanks to the combina-
tion of woofers working in unison.  
Up to 30m
2
The star floor-stander of the series 
combines power from its two woo-
fers, double ports and separate 
midrange. A very classy speaker, 
untiring even whilst copiously 
 
performing in rooms up to 40m
2
.
The CC 800 V enjoys the deve-
lopments from the Profile 900 
and the Electra 1000 Be lines: 
a perfectly mastered directionality, 
linearity, neutrality, gentleness and 
dynamics, its timbre is calibrated to 
match that of all of its Chorus 800 V 
loudspeakers.
Three-way, 3 woofers, 5 drivers in 
all… the Chorus 836 V has no fear 
of (very) large spaces. High-end 
in sound and shape, the power of 
the bass will surprise you. 836 V is 
nothing short of a grande dame, 
generous, powerful but refined and 
subtle as well. 
Its capacity to fill surround space 
with precision is spectacular. Its 
behavior is optimized thanks to the 
integrated “Wall Boost Control” and 
with exacting directivity. Compact, 
discrete, but Chorus in its spirit with 
an acrylic finish. 
The power of the SW 800 V climbs 
to 350W RMS and the frequency 
response extends to 32Hz. Over-
equipped and capable of genera-
ting bass with a substantial power 
output of 115dB, it stands arms 
and shoulders above others in its 
category.
