About the Tannoy VQ 64DF-COM 64DF-COM 2 Way Down-Firing Dual Concentric Mid-High Loudspeaker for High Performance Installation Applications
The VQ 64DF-COM is a sophisticated, high-output loudspeaker engineered for demanding fixed installation environments where superior sonic fidelity and precise coverage are required. It features Tannoy's proprietary Dual Concentric driver technology, a design where a high-frequency compression driver is mounted concentrically within the larger mid-range cone, creating a true point source. This configuration ensures exceptional phase coherence and a stable, focused sound field, resulting in superior stereo imaging and reduced listening fatigue over long periods. The unique down-firing orientation is a deliberate design choice for vertical array applications, allowing the speaker to be positioned above the listening area to deliver consistent, wide-dispersion sound from an unobtrusive location.
This two-way system is built around a robust 6.5-inch Dual Concentric driver, optimized for high power handling and low distortion. The down-firing design, combined with a carefully engineered constant-directivity waveguide, provides precise control over vertical and horizontal dispersion, making it ideal for covering large, complex spaces like auditoriums, houses of worship, performing arts centers, and high-end corporate atriums. The enclosure is constructed from void-free, multi-laminated plywood with a textured, impact-resistant paint finish, ensuring durability in both indoor and semi-sheltered outdoor environments. Its form factor includes integrated rigging points compliant with industry standards, facilitating safe and secure mounting in flown arrays or on structural supports.
The loudspeaker is designed for seamless integration into large-scale sound reinforcement systems. It operates in a passive configuration, requiring connection to an external amplifier and system processor. Its performance characteristics are optimized for use with compatible signal processing that provides system tuning, equalization, and protection. The combination of point-source accuracy, high output capability, and controlled directivity makes the VQ 64DF-COM a critical component for integrators and consultants who need to deliver pristine speech intelligibility and high-fidelity music reproduction in acoustically challenging, high-profile installations where performance cannot be compromised.
