In order to provide visitors to the show with as much information on all of the new products, Tannoy will be combining their ranges of both Commercial and Studio products on stand C22 in Hall 8.
Tannoy is extending its popular in-ceiling range of loudspeakers with four new compact high performance models. All models use ‘in-house’ driver technology in the form of Dual Concentric™ and ICT™ (Inductive Coupling Technology) units. The CMS 501 and 601 make use of 5” and 6.5” ICT drivers respectively.
The ICT™ driver is a true point source, phase coherent design offering excellent vocal articulation and musical fidelity. Famed for its robustness, the ICT™ driver’s HF section is electro-magnetically and not electrically driven, and so the tweeter cannot burn out.
Utilising a newly engineered, small but powerful 5” Dual Concentric™, the CMS 501DC offers all the inherent benefits of this world-renowned driver design in a very neat unit. The HF section of the CMS 501DC driver is in fact an extended bandwidth (54kHz) supertweeter ensuring exceptional intelligibility and clarity for speech and music systems. Offering an enhanced bass dynamic and higher SPL, a larger, 6.5” Dual Concentric™ is used in the 601DC.
All CMS 501 models are fitted with a 30W transformer. When using distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 30W, 15W and 7.5W, with an additional 3.75W tapping for 70.7V line systems. CMS 601 models use a 60W transformer and when using distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for 70.7V line systems. All models are available in a choice of either blind-mount (BM – these come with a pre-fitted back can) or pre-install (PI – there is an optional pre-install back can available for these
models). Exceptional ease of installation is facilitated by the patented self-aligning clamp mechanism and the supplied C-rings and tile bridge rails.
The range is designed to satisfy a vast range of applications where there is a demand for high quality and yet unobtrusive sound systems; commercial installations such as pubs, clubs, boardrooms, AV, leisure or retail stores and residential custom installations for multi room systems or home theatre.-Tannoy
