Tannoy QCI 6DC IW - 280W 6-inch Passive 2-Way In-Wall Loudspeaker with 180 x 160-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The Tannoy QCI 6DC IW is a high-performance 280W passive in-wall loudspeaker designed to seamlessly integrate into your space while delivering exceptional sound quality. With over 90 years of audio engineering expertise, Tannoy continues to push the boundaries of high-fidelity audio, providing loudspeakers trusted by professionals across the world. The QCI 6DC IW is part of the prestigious QCI series, which upholds Tannoy's tradition of delivering audiophile-grade sound for both home and commercial applications. Featuring Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver technology, this speaker ensures impeccable tonal accuracy, wider sound dispersion, and an extraordinary listening experience.

At the core of the QCI 6DC IW is the 6-inch (150mm) Dual Concentric driver with a glass fibre cone and high-excursion rubber surround. This driver is capable of handling up to 280W of peak power, making it suitable for both music and film applications in various environments. The patented Tannoy Dual Concentric technology places the high-frequency driver centrally within the low-frequency driver, which dramatically improves time coherence. This arrangement ensures better-controlled dispersion, providing a more natural sound with a wider sweet spot and greater tonal accuracy. The result is a speaker that faithfully reproduces the original material with clarity and precision.

The QCI 6DC IW's performance is further enhanced by the innovative point source Tulip Waveguide, which provides symmetrical dispersion. This design feature ensures a smooth and uniform frequency response across a wide area, allowing for optimal stereo imaging and a broad soundstage. The speaker offers a frequency response range from 50 Hz to 20 kHz (+3 dB), with a low-frequency extension that reaches down to 30 Hz at -10 dB, delivering deep and impactful bass. With a sensitivity of 85 dB (1 W @ 1 m), this speaker is easy to drive and can be paired with a wide range of amplifiers to suit various installation needs.

Designed with both performance and aesthetics in mind, the QCI 6DC IW features an ultra-thin bezel for a discreet, unobtrusive installation. The loudspeaker comes with a reflex-loaded ABS baffle and is equipped with a powder-coated, UV-resistant steel mesh grille that provides dust protection. The grille is removable and can be painted to match any decor, ensuring that the speaker blends seamlessly with its environment. The integrated self-aligning clamp mounting system simplifies installation, making it easy to secure the speaker in place. The QCI 6DC IW is ideal for a wide range of applications, from home theaters to multi-room audio systems, offering high-quality sound without compromising space or design.

With a net weight of 6.4 lbs and a compact design, the QCI 6DC IW is easy to install and integrate into both small and large rooms. It's a versatile speaker that works perfectly for applications requiring clear and accurate sound with broad coverage. Whether used in a stereo, surround sound, or multi-room system, the Tannoy QCI 6DC IW delivers exceptional audio performance with a refined, natural sound signature.
