Tannoy CVS 601-BK 6.5" Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker (Black, Pair) - TA-CVS 601-BK

Product Overview

The Tannoy CVS 601-BK 6.5-inch coaxial ceiling loudspeaker (sold as a pair) is a black-finish 200-watt speaker engineered for background and foreground music in commercial sound systems. Its coaxial driver delivers wide constant-directivity coverage with low distortion, and EN 54-24 certification makes it suitable for voice-alarm and life-safety applications. Multiple 70V/100V transformer taps and UL 2043 plenum certification make it ideal for conference rooms, meeting spaces, and air-handling ceilings where safety is a priority.

Product Description

The CVS 601-BK combines a 6.5" polypropylene woofer with a butyl rubber surround and a 0.75" ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome high-frequency driver for durable, long-term reliability. The coaxial layout produces a single point source with wide constant-directivity dispersion, delivering the power handling, wide frequency response, and low distortion typically found in more expensive products. EN 54-24:2008 Type A certification for fire detection and fire alarm systems makes the CVS 601-BK the right choice where safety is a top priority.

The speaker is UL 1480 certified for fire-protected signalling systems and UL 2043 certified for air-handling spaces. Multiple transformer taps support 70V and 100V distributed-line systems, or an 8-ohm direct input for low-impedance operation, served by a low-insertion-loss 30 W line transformer with an accessible tapping switch. The plated-steel fire-can enclosure with UL 94 V-0 and 94-5VB ABS front, semi-matt black finish, and powder-coated aluminium grille keep the speaker discreet, while an included C-ring, ceiling-tile rails, and steel cable-clamp cover speed installation with fire-rated cable.
