Tannoy AMS 8DC 8" Dual Concentric Surface-Mount Loudspeaker (Black,Pair) - TA-AMS8DC-BK

Product Overview

The Tannoy AMS 8DC is a full-bandwidth 8-inch Dual Concentric surface-mount loudspeaker, sold as a pair, built for background and foreground music plus speech in indoor and outdoor commercial spaces. Its next-generation Dual Concentric point-source driver with Omnimagnet technology and Torus Ogive waveguide delivers wide, consistent directivity and enhanced intelligibility. With 70V/100V line operation and IP65 weather resistance, it suits multi-zone distributed audio in corporate AV, hospitality, retail, and worship environments.

Product Description

Supplied as a pair, the AMS 8DC is a 360-watt high-sensitivity loudspeaker that uses an all-new 8-inch Dual Concentric point-source driver with Omnimagnet technology mounted on a Torus Ogive waveguide. This combination delivers wide, consistent broadband directivity with the enhanced intelligibility and linear response that AV system designers expect from Tannoy's studio-monitor heritage. The driver places the high-frequency unit at the acoustic center of the low-frequency cone for point-source phase coherence and a 90-degree conical coverage pattern. Multiple transformer taps support 70V and 100V distributed line systems or 16-ohm low-impedance direct drive, and the loudspeaker is optimized for Lab Gruppen LUCIA amplifiers with up to eight AMS-series units per channel. All components are weather resistant to IP65, and the high-temperature-resistant ABS enclosure rated to 120 degrees C suits both indoor and covered outdoor installation. A semi-matt black finish and weather-resistant zinc nickel-plated steel grille keep the unit unobtrusive in retail, hospitality, and corporate environments. An included yoke bracket eases installation, with an optional VARIBALL multi-angle bracket available for precise audience aiming, and a weatherproof cable gland cover protects the connectors and tap selector. The AMS 8DC acoustically matches Tannoy ceiling loudspeakers for a consistent sound signature across multi-zone systems.
