Tannoy CVS 6 BK 6" Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker (Black, Pair) - TA-CVS6-BK

Product Overview

The Tannoy CVS 6 BK is a compact 6-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker in a semi-matt black finish for distributed commercial audio. Sold as a pair, this ceiling speaker pairs studio-grade power handling with multi-tap 70V/100V line operation, making it well suited to restaurants, hotels, retail, and houses of worship. Its coaxial design and wide constant directivity deliver even coverage with warm, low-distortion sound, while the black finish blends into darker architectural ceilings.

Product Description

The CVS 6 BK is a compact 240-Watt ceiling loudspeaker that offers the power handling, wide frequency response, and low distortion more typical of a studio reference monitor than a distributed ceiling speaker. Its 6-inch mineral-loaded polypropylene driver with a nitrile rubber surround is engineered for durability and long-term reliability, and a 0.75-inch ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome neodymium high-frequency driver extends clarity. The coaxial layout provides wide constant-directivity dispersion for even coverage across the listening area. Multiple transformer taps support 70V and 100V distributed line systems or 6-ohm direct connection, allowing integrators to standardize on one loudspeaker across mixed audio zones. The unit is UL 1480 certified for fire-protected signalling and UL 2043 certified for air-handling (plenum) spaces, and a Phoenix connector with steel cover and strain relief accommodates fire-rated cable. The semi-matt black finish, included C-ring and ceiling tile rails, and a security toggle clamp design keep it discreet and quick to install. This model is part of the wider Tannoy collection at Creation Networks; for a white version with the same coaxial driver, compare the CVS 6 (White).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the CVS 6 BK sold individually or as a pair?
This listing is for a pair of loudspeakers, which simplifies procurement for stereo and multi-speaker distributed zones.

Can it run on a 70V or 100V distributed line system?
Yes. The 60 W line transformer provides multiple taps for both 70V and 100V systems, and it can also be wired for 6-ohm low-impedance direct operation.

Is this loudspeaker suitable for plenum ceilings?
Yes. It is UL 2043 certified for air-handling spaces and UL 1480 certified for fire-protected signalling systems.

How does the black version differ from the white CVS 6?
The CVS 6 BK uses the same coaxial driver and electronics but in a semi-matt black finish for darker ceilings; performance and installation are equivalent.

What cabling does it support?
A Phoenix connector with steel cover and strain-relief clamping accommodates fire-rated cable, with loop-through wiring for daisy-chaining multiple units.

What warranty and support are included?
The loudspeaker is covered by Tannoy's 10-Year Warranty Program. Contact Creation Networks for specification support and a project quote.
