The Dutch & Dutch 8c Black / White are full-range active monitors designed to offer precision, control, and extremely natural sound delivery. In this variant, the Black front gives the monitor a technical and professional character, while the White side and back visually lighten the cabinet, creating a sleek and contemporary aesthetic balance.

Dutch & Dutch 8c Black / White: precision for studio and hi-fi

The 8c are designed for those who want to listen to music or work on audio with a reliable reference. The 3-way design, combined with DSP, integrated amplification and directivity control, enables consistent, transparent and highly detailed reproduction.

Full-range monitors with deep low frequencies

The 20 Hz to 20 kHz response allows the entire audible range to be covered without the use of an external subwoofer. This makes the Dutch & Dutch 8c a particularly effective solution for mixing, mastering, audio production, critical listening and high-end hi-fi systems.

RoomMatching Dutch & Dutch for a more controlled room

The room is one of the most important elements in any audio system. The Dutch & Dutch 8c use RoomMatching technology to match the monitor response to the listening room, improving control over low frequencies and making the system more predictable even in less than ideal conditions.

Cardioid design and rear woofers

Cardioid behavior helps control sound dispersion, reducing unwanted energy to the walls and improving perceived accuracy. The rear woofers are designed to take advantage of near-wall placement, turning a possible limitation into a design advantage.

Streaming, DAC and amplification in one system

The Dutch & Dutch 8c Black/White integrate DAC, amplification, DSP and streaming into a single platform. This approach reduces the number of devices needed and keeps the signal path simpler, stable, and optimized.

Roon, Spotify and LAN

Streaming support allows music to be played directly from the local network via compatible platforms such as Roon and Spotify. Stereo and multi-room configuration also allows multiple listening zones to be arranged in a synchronized and flexible manner.

Full control with Ascend and web interface

The Ascend app allows you to manage the main parameters of the Dutch & Dutch 8c, including gain, wall distance, equalization, parametric filters, and firmware. The built-in web interface also enables quick control from a computer, without depending solely on a mobile device.

Black / White design: professional front and bright cabinet

The Black / White finish is ideal for those who want a monitor with a dark, technical front, but with light sides and back for a lighter visual presence. The contrast between Black and White makes this version suitable for contemporary studios, elegant listening rooms, and environments where the monitor needs to communicate precision without weighing down the overall aesthetic.

Platform upgradeable with OTA firmware

OTA firmware updates allow the Dutch & Dutch 8c to evolve over time. New features, operational improvements, and optimizations can be installed via the Ascend platform, keeping the system up-to-date without replacing hardware components.
