TANNOY CMS 803DC Q 8" Full Range Ceiling Loudspeaker with Dual Concentric Driver with Q-Centric Waveguide for Installation Applications (Blind Mount) (CMS 803DC Q)

The CMS 803DC Q is a comprehensive 360-Watt high-sensitivity loudspeaker that integrates our innovative Ceiling Monitor System technology (CMS 3.0). Tailored for high-ceiling applications, the "Q" variant boasts an elongated waveguide design, offering a precise, uniform 70-degree conical dispersion pattern. Featuring an exclusive 8" Dual Concentric point-source driver with Omnimagnet technology on a Torus Ogive Waveguide, this UL certified CMS 803DC Q ensures heightened and more consistent broadband directivity, significantly enhancing intelligibility while maintaining an exceptionally accurate and linear response.

Optimized for Installation

The CMS 803DC Q is meticulously engineered with a 5-way self-aligning clamp system, ensuring rapid, straightforward, and cost-effective installation. It incorporates an acoustically enhanced zinc-plated steel back can and a removable locking screw terminal connector with loop-thru functionality. Additionally, this model includes a low-insertion loss 60 W transformer featuring user-friendly front panel tap switching, a paintable powder-coated steel mesh grille providing dust protection, along with two tile support rails and a C-ring. Separate accessories available for this unit include an Arco style grille designed for complete unit concealment and a plaster (mud) ring tailored for specific installation preferences.

LAB GRUPPEN Ready

The CMS 803DC Q is finished in semi matt white and optimised for use with LAB GRUPPEN LUCIA amplifiers, which accommodate up to 8 CMS Series loudspeakers per channel.
