Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM 6" Full Range Ceiling Loudspeaker with ICT Driver for Installation Applications (Blind Mount)

$0.00

The CMS 603ICT BM is built on Tannoy's third-generation Ceiling Monitor System technology (CMS 3.0), featuring a proprietary 6.5-inch ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) point-source driver. The ICT driver uses electromagnetic coupling to wirelessly drive the tweeter, eliminating the need for a crossover and minimizing the common failures associated with high-frequency drivers. The result is a highly reliable speaker with consistent, wide-bandwidth sound dispersion, ensuring excellent off-axis performance and voice intelligibility. The unit is constructed with a durable mineral-loaded polypropylene cone and housed in an acoustically enhanced zinc-plated steel back can for optimized low-frequency performance. 
A multi-tap, low-insertion loss 60W line transformer allows for flexible installation in 70V and 100V line systems, with settings conveniently accessible via a front-panel switch. For easy integration into low-impedance systems, a 16-ohm input is also available. The speaker is supplied with a paintable, magnetic steel mesh grille for a discreet and customizable look.

About the Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM 6" Full Range Ceiling Loudspeaker with ICT Driver for Installation Applications (Blind Mount)

The Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM is a high-performance ceiling loudspeaker engineered for commercial and institutional distributed audio systems, featuring Tannoy's innovative Intra-Cellular Torsional (ICT) driver technology. This 6-inch coaxial driver integrates a high-frequency transducer within the structure of the low-frequency cone, achieving true point-source sound reproduction with precise time alignment. The result is a coherent and uniform sound field with exceptionally clear midrange and smooth high-frequency dispersion, making it ideal for applications requiring consistent audio coverage and intelligibility, such as retail environments, hospitality venues, conference centers, and educational facilities. The speaker is specifically designed for "blind mount" installation, where the entire loudspeaker enclosure is installed above the ceiling tile line, leaving only a low-profile, paintable steel grille visible from the room below. This creates a discreet and architecturally clean appearance while maintaining professional acoustic performance.

The loudspeaker's construction prioritizes durability and long-term reliability, featuring a mineral-filled polypropylene cone and a rigid die-cast aluminum chassis that resists deformation and ensures stable performance in varying environmental conditions. It includes a built-in multi-tap transformer with several power settings, allowing for easy integration into constant-voltage (70V/100V) audio systems commonly used in commercial installations. This enables system designers to balance volume levels across multiple zones by selecting the appropriate power tap. The spring-clip terminal block simplifies wiring during installation, supporting standard two-conductor cable. With its high sensitivity and power handling, the CMS 603ICT BM can deliver ample sound pressure levels while maintaining low distortion, ensuring background music, paging announcements, and program material are reproduced with fidelity and clarity.

For audio consultants and system integrators, the Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM offers a compelling blend of advanced acoustic engineering and practical installation features. Its ICT driver technology addresses common issues of phase coherence and off-axis response, providing a listening experience that remains consistent across a wide area. The blind-mount design streamlines the installation process and meets the aesthetic demands of modern commercial spaces. As a reliable component within a larger sound masking, paging, or entertainment system, this loudspeaker delivers the performance and durability required for demanding 24/7 operation, making it a trusted choice for professional installed sound projects.
