Tannoy CVS 4 Micro - 160W 4-inch Passive 2-Way 70V/100V Shallow Back Can Ceiling Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The Tannoy CVS 4 MICRO is a compact, high-performance ceiling loudspeaker designed for environments where both excellent audio quality and space-saving installation are crucial. Ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including restaurants, hotels, houses of worship, and business environments, the CVS 4 MICRO offers powerful sound reproduction and low distortion that you would typically find in high-end studio reference monitors. The result is a nuanced, clear sound that envelops the listener while remaining unobtrusive in the space. Thanks to its shallow back can design, the CVS 4 MICRO is perfect for installations with limited above-ceiling space, making it an exceptional choice for applications with restricted cavity depth.

The CVS 4 MICRO features a coaxial full-range driver configuration, comprising a 100 mm (4.00") mineral-loaded polypropylene mid-bass driver and a 19 mm (0.75") ferrofluid-cooled soft dome neodymium high-frequency driver. This coaxial design ensures precise high-frequency response and extended low-end reproduction, providing excellent sound clarity. The polypropylene cone material and nitrile rubber surround enhance the speaker's durability and longevity, ensuring reliable performance even in demanding environments. The speaker's UV- and weather-resistant UL 94-V0 ABS front and plated steel fire can enclosure protect the internal components, ensuring both long-term performance and safety. The attractive powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille also provides dust protection, maintaining the speaker's performance and aesthetic appeal.

One of the standout features of the CVS 4 MICRO is its shallow back can, which measures less than 4" (98.3 mm) in depth. This makes it an ideal solution for installations where ceiling space is at a premium. Despite its compact size, the speaker delivers exceptional performance, with a frequency response from 77 Hz to 22 kHz at -10 dB, ensuring full-range audio that is suitable for both music and speech reinforcement. The system sensitivity of 87 dB (1 W @ 1 m) and maximum SPL of 109 dB (peak) ensure that the CVS 4 MICRO can fill a variety of spaces with rich, clear sound.

The CVS 4 MICRO is designed with installation ease in mind. It is equipped with security toggle clamps for quick, secure mounting, and the removable locking connector with screw terminals provides a "loop-through" facility for simple wiring. The speaker comes with two tile support rails and one C-ring to facilitate installation, and a plaster (mud) ring is available as an optional accessory for added flexibility. The speaker's semi-matte white finish ensures that it blends seamlessly into any environment, providing an unobtrusive, professional appearance.
