Tannoy PCI 5DC IW - 240W 5-inch Passive 2-Way In-Wall Loudspeaker with 90-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The Tannoy PCI 5DC IW is a 240W passive 2-way in-wall loudspeaker, engineered to provide exceptional sound quality for premium audio listening in small to medium-sized rooms. Designed to seamlessly integrate into modern living spaces, the PCI 5DC IW offers a combination of advanced technology, aesthetic appeal, and high performance. With Tannoy's renowned Dual Concentric driver technology, this speaker delivers a natural, coherent sound with exceptional clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, making it perfect for both music and movie applications.

At the heart of the PCI 5DC IW is Tannoy's exclusive Dual Concentric driver. This innovative driver configuration features a 5" LF/MF driver with a blue Kevlar cone and high-excursion rubber surround, paired with a 0.8" high-frequency driver. The result is an incredibly smooth and uniform frequency response, achieving superior sound dispersion and phase coherence. The point-source design ensures accurate stereo imaging and an expansive soundstage, allowing the speaker to provide detailed and immersive audio. The 5DC IW uses Tannoy's highly efficient Tulip Waveguide, which further enhances the speaker's directivity, producing a broad and balanced sound over a wide area, and contributing to the speaker's remarkable performance in a variety of room setups.

The low-frequency response of the PCI 5DC IW is delivered with punch and clarity thanks to the 5" mineral-loaded polypropylene cone, while the midrange is crisp and well-defined. The high-frequency response is equally impressive, with smooth treble that delivers pinpoint imaging and precise clarity, ensuring vocals and high-pitched sounds are naturally reproduced. The speaker's 3-way variable high-frequency level switch allows users to customize the performance, ensuring the speaker integrates seamlessly into different acoustic environments and user preferences.

The PCI 5DC IW is designed with easy installation in mind. Its compact and sleek profile, with an ultra-thin bezel, ensures it blends unobtrusively into the wall, providing a clean and modern aesthetic. The robust, diecast chassis enhances bass performance while offering durability, and the self-aligning clamp mounting system ensures quick and secure installation. The powder-coated UV-resistant steel mesh grille provides protection against dust while maintaining the speaker's sleek appearance. The grille is removable and can be custom painted to match any room decor, making the PCI 5DC IW a flexible solution for interior design needs.

Performance-wise, the PCI 5DC IW offers a frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz (+3 dB) and 30 Hz to 20 kHz (-10 dB), providing deep, full-range sound that suits various applications. The speaker's high sensitivity (85 dB at 1W @ 1m) ensures it can produce clear, detailed sound even at lower power levels, while its rated maximum SPL of 103 dB (average) and 109 dB (peak) ensures powerful output. With an impedance of 8 ohms, the PCI 5DC IW is easy to drive and works well with amplifiers rated at 180W @ 8?.
