Tannoy 12" Large Format In-Ceiling Loudspeaker CMS1201DC

Achieving new standards of full bandwidth coverage control means that the CMS 1201 can be specified in distributed designs with absolute confidence and located as efficiently as possible, minimising the number of devices typically required to cover a given area, reducing install time and cost. All Tannoy ceiling loudspeakers are simple to design into a wide variety of applications using our Ease Address™ design software. Available to download from the Tannoy website, the software calculates the optimum spacing and performance with the input of some simple parameters. Not just another manufacturers 'wizard', you have the confidence that you are using independently measured data, within a well respected simulation package. Better still - its free. Defining new benchmarks in acoustic performance is only part of the CMS 1201's story. As a result of Tannoy's continuing efforts to listen and respond to the specific needs of consultants, integrators and contractors, the CMS 1201 delivers on the demands for versatility, ease of installation, and long-term continuous reliability. Each device comprises of 3 discrete components: the loudspeaker assembly (mounted on ported steel baffle), a separate 79 litre (2.8 cubic feet) steel back-can with multiple mounting points and a white powder-coated steel grille and moulded bevel cover. The custom engineered powder coated steel back-can has been designed to cater for all conceivable installation possibilities making the CMS 1201DC extremely versatile. Internally dampened with 11m OSB2 board, the addition of the back-can provides exceptional low frequency performance on a par with conventional wooden enclosure loudspeakers - but from an in-ceiling format. Steel mounting lugs allow for fitting to a Unistrut roof rail system in a variety of configurations both directly or via secondary prefixed cross struts. The device can also be hung via 4 top-mounted eye bolts, or as a further alternative, the design also caters for a single point central hang via M10 or 3/8 UNC screwed rod - made easy thanks to the slotted mounting saddle on the top of the back-can.Mounting of the loudspeaker assembly to the pre-installed back-can is a one man job thanks to the common sense design approach. One edge of the baffle clips onto the steel box to hold it in place while the installer secures the assembly in place. Connection is simple via terminal barrier strips inside the can, easily accessible via 20mm and 29mm conduit knockouts on all 5 sides of the can. Saving time and man-power during installation has been a driving factor behind the design of the CMS 1201 system. The CMS 1201 is available in both a standard low-impedance variant (CMS 1201DC) and a low insertion loss 60W line transformer-equipped version (CMS 1201DCt) for use on 70V or 100V distributed lines. If later adjustment to the level is required the baffle can be hung from the can via a hinged edge, leaving both hands free to make the required adjustment. Tannoy's focus on maintaining the highest standards of continuous product performance and reliability, through uncompromising quality control of components and manufacturing processes, means you can specify and install CMS 1201DC with confidence. As with all of Tannoy's CMS in-ceiling loudspeakers, theCMS 1201DC benefits from a 5-year warranty.
