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

The Tannoy QCI 6DC is a high-performance 280W ceiling loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality in a variety of environments. Tannoy, with over 90 years of expertise in high-fidelity audio, brings its proven Dual Concentric driver technology to this model, ensuring unparalleled tonal accuracy and a natural, wide soundstage. The QCI 6DC is ideal for applications requiring detailed, dynamic sound in small to medium-sized rooms, making it a perfect fit for both music and film applications. Its compact design, combined with advanced acoustic technologies, makes it suitable for use in home theaters, surround sound systems, and multi-room audio installations.

The QCI 6DC features a 6-inch (150mm) full-range driver with a glass fiber cone and a high-excursion rubber surround, allowing for robust power handling and excellent low-frequency performance. With a peak power handling capability of 280W and a continuous power rating of 70W, it offers an ideal balance between efficiency and output. The driver is equipped with Tannoy's exclusive Omnimagnet technology, which improves time coherence by positioning the high-frequency driver directly within the bass/mid-range driver, resulting in more accurate sound reproduction and a broader listening sweet-spot. The QCI 6DC's Dual Concentric driver also improves dispersion, ensuring a more balanced and natural sound over a wide area.

Performance is further enhanced by the innovative Torus Ogive waveguide, which optimizes high-frequency directivity, improving stereo imaging and creating a more focused soundstage. The QCI 6DC provides a frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz (+3 dB) and extends down to 30 Hz at -10 dB, delivering deep bass and crisp high frequencies. Its sensitivity rating of 85 dB (1W @ 1m) and maximum SPL of 110 dB (peak) ensure that it can fill rooms with high-quality sound, even in more demanding acoustics. The loudspeaker's wide coverage angle of 180° horizontal and 160° vertical at 500 Hz ensures an even distribution of sound, making it ideal for installations where uniform coverage is needed.

Designed for seamless integration, the QCI 6DC features a semi-matt white finish that fits unobtrusively into any environment. Its ultra-thin bezel allows for a discreet and professional installation, blending effortlessly with ceilings or walls. The powder-coated, UV-resistant steel mesh grille provides dust protection and can be removed and painted to match the room's decor, adding flexibility for aesthetic customization. The included self-aligning clamp mounting system simplifies installation, ensuring a secure fit without the need for additional tools or hardware. Additionally, the QCI 6DC comes with both round and square baffles, providing versatile installation options.

Incorporating Tannoy's high standards of craftsmanship and acoustic performance, the QCI 6DC is built to last and deliver audiophile-quality sound for years to come. Whether used in a home theater, multi-room audio setup, or commercial application, the QCI 6DC delivers dynamic, immersive sound with accuracy and clarity.
