Tannoy CVS 801S LZ - 400W 8-inch Passive In-Ceiling Subwoofer with 8-Ohm Impedance in White Finish

The Tannoy CVS 801S LZ is a high-performance, low-impedance (8 Ohms) ceiling subwoofer designed to provide exceptional audio quality for background and foreground sound systems. This subwoofer is engineered to offer powerful bass response and deep, extended output, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications, including restaurants, hotels, houses of worship, and corporate spaces. The CVS 801S LZ delivers the sound quality typically found in more expensive subwoofers, while ensuring long-term reliability and durability in demanding environments. Certified to EN 54-24, UL 1480, and UL 2043, this subwoofer is perfect for installations requiring high safety standards, such as fire detection and alarm systems, and air-handling spaces.

The CVS 801S LZ utilizes a 200 mm (8.00") polypropylene long-excursion driver with a butyl rubber surround, ensuring enhanced durability and reliability over time. The subwoofer's design incorporates an acoustic low-pass baffle, allowing for seamless integration with other loudspeakers without the need for an additional crossover. This makes the CVS 801S LZ perfect for applications requiring superb bass output combined with high-quality music and speech reproduction. The subwoofer's frequency response spans from 53 Hz to 200 Hz (-10 dB), delivering rich and dynamic low-end performance, with a peak SPL of 118 dB, which makes it suitable for both small and large venues.

Constructed from UV and weather-resistant UL 94-V0 ABS, the CVS 801S LZ's front is mounted with a plated steel fire can enclosure, providing dust and moisture protection, ensuring longevity in various environments. The subwoofer is supplied with an integral zinc-plated steel back can, recessed termination box, and includes a locking screw terminal connector for secure wire termination and a loop-through facility. Its security toggle clamps, mounting C-ring, and ceiling tile rails ensure quick and easy installation, while a steel cover and strain relief clamping mechanism offer additional support for fire-rated cabling. A semi-matte white finish fits unobtrusively into most ceiling environments, and an optional plaster (mud) ring and 48" tile rail are available for enhanced customization.
