Tannoy CVS 4 MICRO 4" Coaxial In-Ceiling Loudspeaker with Shallow Back Can (Pair) - TA-CVS4MICRO

Product Overview

The Tannoy CVS 4 MICRO is a compact 4-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker with a shallow back can for background and foreground music in space-constrained commercial ceilings. Sold as a pair, it delivers wide constant-directivity coverage and the low distortion of a studio reference monitor from a low-profile footprint. UL 2043 certification for air-handling spaces and 70V/100V transformer taps make this in-ceiling loudspeaker well suited to plenum and distributed-audio installations.

Product Description

The CVS 4 MICRO pairs a 4-inch mineral-loaded polypropylene woofer with a nitrile rubber surround and a 0.75-inch ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome neodymium tweeter in a coaxial layout, producing warm, detailed sound with wide constant directivity. Its shallow back can is designed for limited ceiling-cavity depth, suiting restaurants, hotels, houses of worship, and commercial facilities where space above the ceiling is tight. The system handles 40 watts continuous and 160 watts peak, and it is UL 1480 certified for fire-protected signalling systems and UL 2043 certified for air-handling (plenum) spaces. Multiple 70V and 100V transformer taps support distributed line operation, with a 6-ohm direct input available for low-impedance use, and a low-insertion-loss 15 W line transformer with an accessible tapping switch simplifies level setting. A UV- and weather-resistant ABS front with a plated steel fire-can enclosure, a powder-coated steel mesh grille, and a Phoenix connector with a steel cover and strain-relief clamp for fire-rated cable complete the installation-grade build; mounting C-ring and ceiling tile rails are included. This ceiling loudspeaker is part of the wider Tannoy commercial loudspeaker collection; for a larger 8-inch coaxial option, compare the Tannoy CVS 801.
