Tannoy 8001 6290 CVS 8 70V 8" Coaxial In-Ceiling Speaker

The Tannoy 8001 6290 CVS 8 is an 8-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker designed for high-quality, distributed audio in commercial and residential 70V/100V constant voltage systems. This speaker integrates Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver technology, where a high-frequency compression driver is mounted concentrically within the voice coil of the low-frequency woofer. This design ensures that sound from both drivers emanates from a single, coherent point source, resulting in exceptional phase coherence, precise imaging, and uniform dispersion, which is a significant advantage in ceiling-mounted installations where listeners may be positioned off-axis.

The speaker is engineered for versatility in commercial sound applications such as background music, paging, and public address in hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, and offices. Its 70V/100V transformer allows multiple speakers to be connected in parallel over long cable runs without significant power loss, with multiple power tap settings to balance output levels across different zones. The flush-mount design features a paintable grille and magnetic trim ring for a discreet, professional appearance that blends into ceiling tiles or drywall. The inclusion of an optional back can (not always included) allows for installation in plenum spaces, providing an acoustically sealed enclosure that isolates the speaker from insulation and open ceiling cavities to ensure consistent bass performance.

Built with a robust die-cast chassis and durable materials, the 8001 CVS 8 is designed for reliable, long-term operation. Its coaxial design delivers clear, intelligible speech reproduction and musical fidelity, making it suitable for both music and voice reinforcement. This speaker exemplifies Tannoy's commitment to combining sophisticated acoustic engineering with practical installation features for professional audio distribution.
