Tannoy Di8DC instruction

Di8DC

Product Description Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the TannoyDi8 DC is a high performance, ultra compact surface mount weather resistant loudspeaker. A full bandwidth loudspeaker designed for commercial, professional and residential applications where environment durability and high quality sonic performance are required. Indoor or outdoor,these speakers are ideally suited to stereo or monaural background or foreground music systems in such applications as diverse as theme parks, retail premises, restaurants and cafés, corporate audio visual, residential developments and houses of worship.

Renowned for its extraordinary power handling,high sensitivity, extended frequency response and very low distortion,Tannoy’s Dual Concentric™provides a wide and controlled dispersion ensuring optimum coverage. By placing the high frequency drive unit physically inside the low frequency driver, Tannoyengineers have created a true point source that exhibits constant directivity and unparalleled linearity. Perfect for this type of application, the driver system generates a spherical wave front unaffected by energy loss at the crossover frequency in either vertical or horizontal planes; allowing highly flexible speaker placement on the wall or ceiling with no compromise to performance and vocal intelligibility.

The Dual Concentric™ driver in the Di8 DC uses a 200mm (8.00") complex multi fibre paper pulp mix for the mid bass coneto achieveoptimumacousticperformance, whilea comprehensiveresin treatment process ensuresthe materialsweatherresistance.The concentricallypositioned25mm (1.00") HF unit has a ferrofluid cooled titanium dome, with a neodymium magnet system, equipped with dynamic high frequency protection.

Available in textured black or white painted finish with matching rubber trims, the

outstandingly durable and scuff resistant, high impact polystyrene (HIPS) Di enclosure is weather resistant, rated IP64 to EN60529 (IEC529); a construction fully optimised for

consistent performance in adverse conditions indoors or out.

Modification is possible by application of alternative colour trims. Two standard colour trim

options are availablefrom stock; enabling black or white product to be supplied factory pre-fitted with either red or blue trims.

Other trim colours can also be created to suit specific requirements, but only as a special order customisation subjectto minimumorder quantities.Primarily aimed at corporate branding applications, this aesthetic flexibility will also enable colour coordination for larger installs.

Di8DC specifications

The Tannoy Di8DC is a professional-grade loudspeaker designed to deliver exceptional sound quality and versatility for various applications. With its innovative design and advanced technologies, the Di8DC is ideal for installations in commercial spaces, live events, and high-end audio systems.

One of the most notable features of the Di8DC is its coaxial driver design. This configuration integrates the high-frequency driver with the low-frequency driver in a single unit, which ensures coherent sound reproduction across the frequency spectrum. This design not only allows for superior phase alignment but also ensures that sound is projected evenly across the listening area, minimizing any off-axis coloration.

The Di8DC boasts an impressive frequency response range of 60 Hz to 20 kHz, making it suitable for both music playback and speech applications. The integration of a custom-designed 8-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter allows for rich bass response and clear, detailed high frequencies. The speaker is capable of handling high power levels, ensuring that it can perform reliably in loud environments.

Another key technological advancement in the Di8DC is the implementation of Tannoy's proprietary DC (Dual Concentric) technology. This technology further enhances the speaker's performance by providing improved directivity and dispersion characteristics, allowing it to cover a wider area while maintaining clarity. The dual concentric driver configuration also reduces the risk of unwanted phase shifts, resulting in a cleaner and more defined sound.

The Di8DC is designed for easy installation and integration into various audio systems. It features a robust, weather-resistant enclosure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Additionally, the loudspeaker includes various mounting options, ensuring flexibility for different setup requirements.

In terms of aesthetics, the Tannoy Di8DC is available in a sleek, professional finish that blends seamlessly into any environment. Its durable construction ensures longevity, making it an excellent investment for professionals seeking reliability and performance.

Overall, the Tannoy Di8DC encapsulates a blend of innovative technology, versatility, and exceptional sound quality, making it a top choice for audio professionals looking to elevate their sound experience in any setting. Whether used in a concert hall, house of worship, or corporate event, the Di8DC’s features and performance capabilities deliver impressive results that satisfy even the most discerning audiophiles.
