Tannoy PCI 7DC RB Premium 7" Dual Concentric Ceiling Loudspeaker - TA-PCI 7DC RB

Product Overview

The Tannoy PCI 7DC RB is a premium 7-inch dual concentric ceiling loudspeaker with a rotating baffle for high-fidelity commercial and architectural audio. This ceiling speaker uses Tannoy's point-source Dual Concentric driver and a Tulip waveguide for smooth, wide coverage from a single coincident source. The rotating baffle lets installers aim output toward the listening position, making it well suited to offset placements in boardrooms, multi-purpose rooms, and premium hospitality spaces.

Product Description

The PCI 7DC RB is a high-definition ceiling loudspeaker built around a 7-inch Dual Concentric driver featuring Tannoy point-source constant directivity. A Tulip waveguide produces a smooth, uniform frequency response over a wide coverage area that discrete two-way designs cannot match, while a blue Kevlar cone with a high-excursion rubber surround supports high power handling. The rotating baffle design lets installers angle the driver for optimum sound projection when speaker placement is offset from the main listening position, supporting use as a left, right, or centre channel in distributed layouts. A flow-through bass port optimizes low-frequency performance, and a 3-way variable high-frequency level switch allows tuning to room acoustics. Rated at 80 W continuous and 320 W peak into 8 ohms, the loudspeaker provides strong output for larger rooms. A rigid die-cast chassis improves bass performance and durability, integrated single-unit construction with a self-aligning clamp speeds installation, and the removable grille can be custom painted. This model is part of the wider Tannoy collection at Creation Networks; for a larger-format option in the same series, compare the PCI 8DC.

Key Features

• 7-inch Dual Concentric driver — A point-source coincident driver delivers constant directivity and a coherent, well-imaged response across the coverage area.
• Rotating baffle — The baffle rotates to aim output toward offset listening positions, supporting left, right, or centre placement in distributed layouts.
• Tulip waveguide — The waveguide produces a smooth, uniform response over a wide area that discrete two-way ceiling designs cannot achieve.
• Blue Kevlar cone — A high-excursion Kevlar cone with rubber surround supports high power handling and reliable performance.
• Variable HF level switch — A 3-way high-frequency level switch lets installers tune high-frequency balance to room acoustics.
• 320 W peak power handling — Rated at 80 W continuous and 320 W peak into 8 ohms, with recommended amplifier power of 240 W.
• Flow-through bass port — The port design optimizes low-frequency output for fuller sound in larger rooms.
• Paintable grille — A removable grille can be custom painted to match the ceiling for a discreet appearance.

Typical Applications

• Boardroom
• Conference room
• Commercial meeting space
• Multi-purpose room
• Auditorium

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PCI 7DC RB run on a 70V/100V line system?
No. It is a low-impedance 8-ohm loudspeaker driven directly from an amplifier; the vendor specification lists no transformer taps.

What does the rotating baffle do?
The baffle rotates so installers can aim the driver toward an offset listening position, which is useful when ceiling placement does not sit directly over the audience.

What amplifier power does it need?
Tannoy recommends 240 W per channel at 8 ohms, providing headroom for larger rooms within the 320 W peak rating.

Can the high-frequency balance be adjusted?
Yes. A 3-way variable high-frequency level switch lets installers tailor the high-frequency output to room acoustics.

What warranty and support are included?
The loudspeaker is backed by Tannoy and supported by Creation Networks. Contact our team for specification assistance and a project quote.
