Product Overview

The Tannoy CVS 4 4-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker (sold as a pair) is a compact 160-watt speaker engineered for background and foreground music in commercial sound systems. Its coaxial driver delivers wide constant-directivity coverage with low distortion more typical of a studio monitor than a ceiling speaker. Multiple 70V/100V transformer taps and UL 2043 plenum certification make it ideal for conference rooms, meeting spaces, and air-handling ceilings.

Product Description

Tannoy CVS 4 4-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker pair for commercial AV installation

The CVS 4 combines a 4" mineral-loaded polypropylene woofer with a nitrile rubber surround and a 0.75" ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome neodymium tweeter for durable, long-term reliability. The coaxial layout produces a single point source with a 90-degree nominal coverage angle, delivering warm, clear audio that envelopes the listener without intruding. Multiple transformer taps support 70V and 100V distributed-line systems, or the speaker can run at a 6-ohm direct input for low-impedance applications.

The plated-steel fire-can enclosure with UL 94 V-0 ABS front is UL 1480 certified for fire-protected signalling and UL 2043 certified for air-handling spaces. A security toggle clamp, C-ring, ceiling-tile rails, and cut-out template are included for fast installation, and a steel connector cover with strain relief accommodates fire-rated cable.
