About the Tannoy AMS 5DC-WH 5" Dual Concentric Surface-Mount Loudspeaker for Installation Applications (White)
The Tannoy AMS 5DC-WH is a professional 5-inch surface-mount loudspeaker that incorporates Tannoy's legendary Dual Concentric driver technology, engineered for high-fidelity sound reproduction in architectural audio installations. This design places a high-frequency compression driver at the acoustic center of the woofer, allowing both drivers to radiate sound from a single point source. This coaxial alignment results in exceptional phase coherence, precise imaging, and uniform dispersion, delivering a detailed and accurate sonic performance that is ideal for both background music and critical listening applications in settings such as high-end retail, hospitality, executive boardrooms, and residential systems. The white finish allows the speaker to blend discreetly into light-colored ceilings and walls, meeting the aesthetic demands of designers while providing a significant acoustic upgrade over conventional two-way designs.
The speaker's 5-inch Dual Concentric driver consists of a paper pulp bass/mid cone and a integrated 1-inch titanium dome compression tweeter with a Tulip Waveguide. This integrated design ensures perfect time alignment between the high and low frequencies, eliminating the lobing errors and off-axis coloration common in separate driver arrangements. The result is a consistent frequency response and stable stereo image over a wide listening area. The driver is housed in a rigid, sealed enclosure constructed from impact-resistant ABS, which minimizes cabinet resonance and provides a solid foundation for the driver's performance. An integrated, paintable steel grille protects the driver while maintaining a low visual profile, and a multi-angle mounting bracket is included, offering installers the flexibility to aim the speaker for optimal coverage after installation.
Engineered for straightforward integration and reliable long-term performance, the speaker features accessible connection terminals for secure wiring. Its nominal 8-ohm impedance allows for direct connection to standard low-impedance amplifier outputs, providing system designers with greater flexibility in amplifier selection and speaker zoning compared to constant-voltage systems. For audio consultants and installers seeking to deliver true high-fidelity sound in a discreet, surface-mount package, the Tannoy AMS 5DC-WH represents a premium solution. It brings the acclaimed sonic benefits of point-source coaxial technology into the installed sound market, offering exceptional clarity, imaging, and musicality for discerning clients where audio quality is as important as visual discretion.
