Product Overview
The Tannoy CVS 301-BK is a 3-inch full-range ceiling loudspeaker for background and foreground music in commercial audio installations. Sold as a pair, it offers power handling, wide frequency response and low distortion typically found in larger products, making it a cost-effective choice for distributed 70V/100V line systems. EN 54-24 and UL certification make this commercial-grade ceiling speaker suitable for restaurants, hotels, retail, and life-safety voice-evacuation projects. It supports constant-voltage line operation and 8-ohm direct connection.
Product Description

The CVS 301-BK uses a 3-inch polypropylene full-range driver with a butyl rubber surround for long-term reliability in continuous-duty commercial systems. Wide constant-directivity dispersion provides even coverage, letting installers space speakers for consistent intelligibility across a zone. Multiple transformer taps support 70V and 100V distributed audio plus 8-ohm direct input, so the same speaker fits small single-zone designs and larger multi-zone systems. With a 20 watt continuous, 80 watt peak rating, it delivers clear background music and paging in restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces.
A UV and weather-resistant ABS front with a plated-steel fire-can enclosure and powder-coated aluminum mesh grille keep the speaker durable in demanding interiors. EN 54-24:2008 Type A certification, UL 1480 certification for fire-protected signalling, and UL 2043 certification for air-handling (plenum) spaces make it appropriate where fire and life-safety compliance is required. A mounting C-ring and ceiling tile rails are included for fast installation, and the strain-relief clamping mechanism accepts fire-rated cable. Browse the full Tannoy collection or step up to the coaxial CVS 401-BK ceiling loudspeaker for higher output.
