TANNOY CMS401 Dce Eyeball Ceiling Speakers

The Tannoy CMS401 DCe is a full bandwidth ceiling monitor system suited to high-level
music and speech reinforcement applications requiring exceptional sonic quality with
uncompromised reliability.
The CMS401 DCe features Tannoy's exclusive point source Dual Concentric™ driver. The
mid-bass and tweeter sections are coincidentally aligned to a true point source; ensuring
a wide and controlled dispersion for optimum coverage; this while avoiding the massive
loss of energy, in the vertical plane at the crossover frequency, inherent in two-way discreet
designs.
This point source, constant directivity drive unit comprises a 100mm (4.00") multi fibre paper
pulp mid bass cone and a 19mm (0.75") ferrofluid cooled, titanium dome HF unit with
neodymium magnet system. The WideBand™ high frequency unit in the Dual ensures that
this drive unit delivers an exceptionally detailed and open sound stage for unrivalled
intelligibility. Extending the bandwidth gives percussive sounds more reality and impact,
with vocals and instruments clearly more separate and distinct. This design, with extended
frequency response and very low distortion, is equipped with dynamic high frequency
protection.
The driver and passive frequency-dividing network are mounted in an injection-moulded
pod. This, like the ceiling mounting ring in which the pod can be swivelled, is manufactured
from UV/weather resistant UL94V-0 ABS material.
The inclusion of a premium quality Tannoy THP 30 multi-tap transformer, for distributedline
operation, provides high system sensitivity, wide bandwidth and dynamic range; achieved
with very low insertion loss.
Specifically designed for fast, simple and cost effective installation in new and existing
buildings, the CMS401 DCe can be entirely angled towards the listener within the fixed
ceiling-mounting ring. The challenge of difficult speaker placement, in less than perfect
room configurations, is therefore eliminated by being able to discreetly pivot the loudspeaker
towards the desired area of coverage.
