About the Tannoy CVS 6 6" Coaxial In-Ceiling Loudspeaker for Installation Applications
The Tannoy CVS 6 is a 6-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver clear, reliable audio for distributed sound systems in a variety of commercial and residential installation settings. It employs a coaxial driver design where a 6-inch polypropylene woofer is integrated with a 0.75-inch polyamide dome tweeter positioned at its center. This unified point-source configuration ensures that high and low frequencies originate from the same acoustic location, promoting coherent sound dispersion and consistent tonal balance across a wide listening area. The loudspeaker is engineered to provide articulate vocal reproduction and pleasing music playback, making it a versatile choice for background music and paging applications in environments such as retail stores, restaurants, offices, and educational facilities.
Built for straightforward installation and long-term durability, the CVS 6 features a rigid, die-cast chassis that provides a stable mounting platform and minimizes cabinet resonance. The chassis incorporates an adjustable clamp system with dog-leg brackets, allowing for a secure and rattle-free fit in ceilings of varying thicknesses. A key functional element is its integrated multi-tap line-matching transformer, which offers multiple power settings for seamless integration into both 70V and 100V constant voltage public address systems, as well as a direct 8-ohm bypass for use with standard low-impedance amplifiers. This flexibility makes the speaker an adaptable and cost-effective solution for system designers configuring audio across multiple zones or large spaces.
With a design focused on practical performance, the Tannoy CVS 6 offers a balance of good sensitivity, solid power handling, and an extended frequency response suitable for general audio reinforcement. Its white, paintable grille allows for subtle visual integration with most ceiling finishes. The loudspeaker's sealed back design helps optimize low-frequency performance and protects the driver from dust and debris in the plenum space. As a dependable workhorse in the commercial audio landscape, the CVS 6 provides a combination of proven coaxial technology, installation versatility, and consistent sound quality for everyday audio distribution needs.
