Product Overview
The Tannoy PCI 5DC IW is a premium 5-inch Dual Concentric in-wall loudspeaker for high-fidelity music and AV playback in finished commercial and residential interiors. Its point-source constant-directivity driver and Tulip Waveguide deliver smooth, even coverage from a compact footprint suited to tighter wall cavities. With a thin bezel, self-aligning clamp mount, and paintable removable grille, this in-wall loudspeaker installs discreetly in offices, lounges, and multi-purpose spaces.
Product Description

The PCI 5DC IW centers a 0.8-inch high-frequency unit within a 5-inch blue Kevlar cone for true point-source behaviour, giving coherent imaging across a wide listening area that discrete two-way in-wall speakers cannot match. The Tulip Waveguide maintains smooth, uniform frequency response over a broad coverage area, and a high-excursion rubber surround supports 60 watts continuous and 240 watts peak power handling. A 3-way variable high-frequency level switch lets the integrator tune the top end to the room and decor, while a rigid diecast chassis improves bass performance and durability. Integrated single-unit construction, a self-aligning clamp mounting system, and an extremely thin bezel keep installation fast and the finished look low-profile. The removable powder-coated steel grille is UV resistant and can be custom painted, and the Tannoy grille badge is removable for a clean appearance. Rated maximum SPL is 106 dB at 8 ohms. Explore the full Tannoy collection at Creation Networks, or compare the larger Tannoy PCI 6DC IW for higher output.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of the Dual Concentric driver?
It places the tweeter at the acoustic center of the bass cone for a single point source, producing coherent imaging and consistent off-axis coverage.
Can the high-frequency output be adjusted?
Yes. A 3-way variable high-frequency level switch lets the installer tune the top end to suit room acoustics and listener preference.
Does it need a back can?
It installs without an enclosure in most walls; an optional BACK CAN IW is available where a rear enclosure or added isolation is required.
Can the grille be painted?
Yes. The grille is removable and a paint mask is included, so it can be custom painted to match the wall finish.
What amplifier is recommended?
Tannoy recommends around 180 W at 8 ohms. Creation Networks can help match amplification and plan the install. Contact us for a project quote.
