Tannoy QCI A1-WH - 240W 5-inch Passive 2-Way Surface-Mount Loudspeaker with 90 x 90-Degree Coverage in White Finish

The Tannoy QCI A1-WH is a versatile and high-performance loudspeaker designed for both residential and commercial environments. With a rich heritage of over 90 years in high-fidelity sound, Tannoy loudspeakers are trusted by the world's most discerning audio professionals, including recording engineers, film composers, and broadcasters. The QCI A1-WH continues this legacy, delivering superior tonal accuracy, exceptional clarity, and an impressive dynamic range. Ideal for a variety of installations, this speaker ensures high-quality sound in both indoor and outdoor settings.

At the heart of the QCI A1-WH is Tannoy's exclusive Dual Concentric Driver technology. This renowned design provides a near-perfect point source, with the high-frequency driver placed centrally to ensure better time coherence, improved dispersion, and a wider listening sweet spot. The result is a more natural, well-defined sound that remains faithful to the original material. The QCI A1-WH utilizes a 5-inch glass fiber driver, complemented by a high-excursion rubber surround, making it capable of handling up to 240 watts of peak power. This makes the QCI A1-WH extremely easy to drive, and it's suitable for a wide range of amplifiers and applications.

To further enhance performance, the QCI A1-WH integrates a highly innovative Tulip Waveguide. This waveguide improves symmetrical dispersion, enabling the speaker to produce a broad soundstage with remarkably focused and accurate stereo imaging. The result is a speaker that delivers exceptional high-frequency clarity, articulation, and a seamless listening experience across a large area. The speaker's rugged and durable enclosure ensures long-lasting performance, even in challenging environments.

The QCI A1-WH is built to withstand the elements, featuring a PC (polycarbonate) enclosure and UV-resistant materials that provide both dust and water protection, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor installations. It meets the IP54 standard, ensuring reliable performance in various conditions. The minimalistic, compact design features an all-white finish, allowing it to blend seamlessly into any decor while maintaining a discreet profile. A UV-resistant mesh grille offers dust protection and can be removed and painted to match the surroundings, providing customization options for a perfect fit in any environment.

Installation is simple and efficient, thanks to the included color-matched wall-mount bracket and finger-adjustable hardware, which allows for easy positioning and secure mounting. The QCI A1-WH is designed to provide top-tier audio performance in a wide range of spaces, including multi-room systems, home theaters, and commercial applications. Whether used for background music or as part of a larger audio setup, this speaker's versatile performance ensures that it meets the needs of both audiophiles and professionals alike.
