Tannoy TA-CVS 401 4" Coaxial Ceiling Loudspeaker (Pair) - TA-CVS 401

Product Overview

The Tannoy CVS 401 is a 4-inch coaxial in-ceiling loudspeaker, sold as a pair, built for background and foreground music in commercial interiors. With wide constant-directivity coverage and multiple 70V/100V transformer taps, it suits distributed audio in restaurants, hotels, houses of worship, and retail. EN 54-24 and UL certifications also make this compact ceiling speaker appropriate for fire-protected signalling and voice-alarm systems where life safety is a priority.

Product Description

This listing is for a pair of CVS 401 loudspeakers. Each unit combines a 4-inch polypropylene driver with butyl rubber surround and a 0.75-inch ferrofluid-cooled soft-dome high-frequency driver on a coaxial axis, delivering a coherent point-source response with power handling, wide frequency range, and low distortion usually associated with more expensive products. Rated at 30 watts continuous and 120 watts peak, the CVS 401 maintains intelligibility at background and foreground music levels in smaller zones. A low-insertion-loss 25W line transformer offers multiple taps for 70V and 100V distributed systems or 8-ohm direct connection. The loudspeaker carries EN 54-24:2008 Type A certification for fire detection and alarm systems, UL 1480 certification for fire-protected signalling, and UL 2043 certification for air-handling plenum spaces, making it a strong choice where both music and life-safety paging share one system. The UL 94 V-0 and 94-5VB ABS front with a plated-steel fire can, an aluminium mesh grille with dust protection, and a fire-rated cable clamp support code-compliant installation. Mounting C-rings and ceiling-tile rails are included for fast fitting. Explore the full Tannoy collection at Creation Networks, or compare the larger Tannoy CVS 601 for higher output.
