Tannoy CMS 403ICTE 4" Full Range Directional Ceiling Loudspeaker with ICT Driver (Blind-Mount,Pair) - TA-CMS403ICTE

Product Overview

The Tannoy CMS 403ICTE is a directional 4-inch full-range ceiling loudspeaker built around an ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) point-source driver for high-reliability speech and program audio. Sold as a blind-mount pair, it uses Tannoy's third-generation CMS 3.0 platform to deliver consistent broadband directivity with enhanced intelligibility. With adjustable tilt, 360-degree rotation, and 70V/100V transformer taps, this directional ceiling loudspeaker is engineered for constant-usage commercial installations.

Product Description

The CMS 403ICTE is a wide-bandwidth, high-sensitivity loudspeaker that uses a proprietary 4-inch ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) point-source driver with extended frequency range. Inductive coupling eliminates a conventional wired tweeter connection, which is what gives ICT drivers their exceptional long-term reliability under constant heavy usage, making the CMS 403ICTE well suited to high-duty applications. It handles 40 watts continuous and 160 watts peak, with consistent broadband directivity and a 120-degree coverage angle that supports even fill in distributed ceiling systems. A directional design with adjustable tilt and 360-degree rotation lets integrators aim coverage toward listeners even in awkward placements. Multiple 70V and 100V transformer taps support distributed line operation, with a 16-ohm direct input available for low-impedance use, and the system is optimised for Lab Gruppen LUCIA amplifiers running up to eight CMS-series loudspeakers per channel. The blind-mount enclosure ships with an integral moulded ABS back can as a single-unit assembly, and the self-aligning three-way clamp system with included C-ring and tile rails speeds installation. The semi matt white grille is removable for custom painting. This ceiling loudspeaker is part of the wider Tannoy commercial loudspeaker collection; for a dual-concentric alternative in the same blind-mount form factor, compare the Tannoy CMS 403DCE.
