Tannoy Back Can for CMS 1201 Series Ceiling Loudspeakers - TA-CMS1201-BC

Product Overview

The Tannoy CMS 1201 back can is an acoustically enhanced ceiling loudspeaker back can for the CMS 1201DC. This zinc-plated steel enclosure is designed for pre-installation in newly constructed suspended and non-suspended ceilings, giving AV integrators a way to rough-in containment and mounting before the ceiling is finished. Its internally damped 79-litre volume supports strong low-frequency performance in commercial and architectural installations.

Product Description

The CMS 1201 BACKCAN is an acoustically enhanced, zinc-plated steel back can engineered for pre-installation of CMS 1201DC loudspeakers in new construction. The back can and containment can be fitted before the ceiling is completed, which lets integrators sequence rough-in work ahead of final finishing and reduces project turnaround. Its internally damped 79-litre (2.8 cubic feet) volume provides exceptional low-frequency performance for the paired loudspeaker. Multiple installation methods are supported: steel mounting lugs for fitting to a Unistrut roof-rail system, suspension via four top-mounted eye bolts, or single-point suspension on M10 or 3/8-inch UNC threaded rod. The time-saving design enables one-person installation, and Phoenix connectors are provided for input and link output to simplify daisy-chained wiring. This accessory is part of the wider Tannoy collection at Creation Networks and is intended for use with the CMS 1201DCT loudspeaker driver. It is finished in powder-coated zinc-plated steel for durability in commercial ceiling voids.
