Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM 6" Full Range Ceiling Loudspeaker with ICT Driver (Blind-Mount,Pair) - TA-CMS603ICT-BM

Product Overview

The Tannoy CMS 603ICT BM is a 6-inch ICT point-source ceiling loudspeaker built for distributed audio in high-usage commercial installations. Sold as a pair, it combines an Inductive Coupling Technology driver with multiple 70V and 100V transformer taps, serving both 70-volt ceiling speaker systems and 16-ohm low-impedance zones. UL 1480 and UL 2043 certifications qualify it for general signalling and air-handling plenum spaces, addressing the code requirements integrators meet in commercial and government environments.

Product Description

This blind-mount ceiling speaker is built on Tannoy's third-generation Ceiling Monitor System (CMS 3.0) platform and uses a proprietary 6-inch ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) point-source driver. The inductively coupled high-frequency section eliminates a conventional crossover, contributing to the exceptional long-term reliability that makes ICT drivers well suited to constant-usage applications. The result is consistent broadband directivity with enhanced speech intelligibility across the listening plane. The blind-mount version ships with a fixed, acoustically enhanced zinc-plated steel back can, so it installs as a single integrated unit. A front-panel rotary switch selects 70V and 100V transformer taps or a 16-ohm direct setting for low-impedance amplifier channels, and the design is optimised for Lab Gruppen LUCIA amplifiers with up to eight CMS loudspeakers per channel. A self-aligning four-way clamp system, included C-ring, and ceiling tile rails speed deployment, while the removable magnetic grille can be custom painted to match the architecture. It carries a 10-year warranty and is engineered in the U.K. Browse the full Tannoy collection, or compare the Dual Concentric variant, the CMS 603DC BM.

Key Features

• ICT point-source driver — The 6-inch Inductive Coupling Technology driver provides extended frequency range and high reliability for constant heavy usage.
• Multi-tap 70V/100V transformer — A low-insertion-loss 60W transformer with front rotary selection supports both 70-volt and 100-volt distributed lines.
• 16-ohm low-impedance option — Direct 16-ohm operation lets integrators run the speaker on standard low-impedance amplifier channels.
• UL 2043 plenum certification — Air-handling space certification allows installation above suspended ceilings in return-air plenums.
• Blind-mount back can included — The fixed zinc-plated steel back can ships attached for fast single-unit installation.
• Self-aligning clamp mounting — The four-way clamp system with included C-ring and tile rails simplifies fitting into ceiling tiles.
• Paintable magnetic grille — The removable powder-coated steel grille can be custom painted for minimal architectural impact.

Is the CMS 603ICT BM sold individually or as a pair?
This listing is for a pair of loudspeakers, supplied with the fixed blind-mount back cans.

What is the advantage of the ICT driver?
Inductive Coupling Technology removes the conventional crossover and improves long-term reliability, making it well suited to constant-usage installations.

Can it run on both distributed-line and low-impedance amplifiers?
Yes. The front rotary switch selects 70V and 100V transformer taps or a 16-ohm direct setting for low-impedance channels.

Is it rated for air-handling plenum spaces?
Yes. It holds UL 2043 certification for air-handling spaces and UL 1480 for general signalling systems.

What warranty and support are included?
The speaker is covered by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program. Contact Creation Networks for system design assistance and project quotes.
