Audio Performance: The Tannoy CVS-8 excels in audio performance with its 8-inch mineral-loaded polypropylene driver and 0.75-inch ferrofluid-cooled neodymium high-frequency driver. This combination delivers clear, balanced sound with warm, nuanced tones and a high degree of detail. The speaker provides excellent sound coverage due to its wide constant directivity dispersion, making it suitable for various audio applications.

Durability and Construction: Designed for durability, the CVS-8 features a UV and weather-resistant front constructed from UL 94 V-0 ABS material. The plated steel fire can enclosure enhances its robustness, ensuring long-term reliability even in challenging environments. The speaker’s nitrile rubber surround and mineral-loaded polypropylene cone contribute to its durability and performance consistency.

Installation and Connectivity: Installation is streamlined with the inclusion of a mounting C-ring and ceiling tile rails. The Phoenix connector with a steel cover and strain relief clamping mechanism provides secure connections for fire-rated cables, ensuring safety and reliability. The speaker also features a low insertion loss 60W line transformer with an accessible tapping switch, offering flexibility in different audio setups.

Design and Finish: The CVS-8 has a semi-matte white finish that blends unobtrusively into any environment, making it versatile for various settings. The powder-coated perforated steel mesh grille not only protects against dust but can also be customized to match the surrounding decor, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.
