Tannoy PCI 5DC IW Premium 5" Dual Concentric In-Wall Loudspeaker - TA-PCI 5DC IW

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.

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.
