Di5

Product Description

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the Tannoy Di5 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.

Equipped with Tannoy’s unique and exclusive point source ICT™ 110mm (4.50") drive unit, the Di5 delivers an acoustic performance of outstanding clarity, definition and detail.

The point source configuration of the Tannoy ICT™ driver’s mid-bass and tweeter sections ensures a wide and controlled dispersion for optimum coverage; this while avoiding the massive loss of energy in the vertical plane, at the crossover frequency, inherent in two-way discrete designs. The ICT™ (Inductive Coupling Technology) drive unit also addresses the two most common component failures experienced in background music and sound reinforcement systems, the tweeter and the crossover reliability. The use of a wireless electromagnetic tweeter means that no crossover is required in the design; this therefore ensures that an ICT™ unit is exceptionally reliable and therefore ideal for applications where constant heavy usage is the norm. This aluminium high frequency dome has a deep drawn skirt that sits on the inside of the low frequency voice coil in the same magnetic gap. The skirt is like a single shorted turn that is induced with high frequency information generated by the low frequency voice coil, which is fed a full bandwidth signal. The mineral loaded polypropylene cone material and nitrile rubber surround further enhance durability and long-term reliability.

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 available from 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 subject to minimum order quantities. Primarily aimed at corporate branding applications, this aesthetic flexibility will also enable colour coordination for larger installs.

Transformer version - the Di5t

The Di5t model option is equipped with an internally mounted low insertion loss line transformer for 70V or 100V distributed sound applications. Wattage taps are easily configurable to the following settings via an easily accessible rotary tapping switch, which is top panel mounted under the rubber trim.

DI5 specifications

The Tannoy DI5 is a sought-after loudspeaker that is part of Tannoy's DCT (Dual Concentric Technology) lineup, showcasing the brand's commitment to excellence in sound reproduction. Designed for both professional and home audio environments, the DI5 boasts a sleek design that complements modern aesthetics while delivering powerful audio performance.

One of the standout features of the Tannoy DI5 is its unique dual concentric driver configuration. This technology allows the high-frequency driver to be mounted at the center of the low-frequency driver. This alignment ensures that sound from different frequencies emanates from the same point, resulting in superior phase coherence and a wide soundstage. As a result, listeners experience an immersive audio experience with accurate imaging and clarity across the frequency spectrum.

The DI5 is equipped with a high-quality 5-inch woofer that produces a rich and detailed low-end response, while the 1-inch titanium dome tweeter delivers crisp and transparent high frequencies. Together, these elements create a balanced audio profile suitable for various applications, from music listening to studio monitoring. The speaker's frequency response spans from 60 Hz to 20 kHz, providing a full-range sound that captures both subtle nuances and powerful dynamics.

In terms of build quality, the Tannoy DI5 is constructed with durable materials that enhance its performance and longevity. The cabinet is designed to minimize resonance, which can color the sound. Additionally, the speaker features a front-firing bass port that allows for flexibility in placement, making it easier to position the DI5 in different environments while maintaining optimal performance.

Connectivity is another strong suit of the DI5, which includes a variety of input options to accommodate different technologies and devices. Whether connecting to a home audio system, workstation, or professional studio setup, users will find it easy to integrate the DI5 into their existing setups.

Overall, the Tannoy DI5 combines advanced technologies, thoughtful engineering, and high-quality components to deliver an exceptional listening experience. Whether for casual music enjoyment or critical studio work, the DI5 stands out for its ability to reproduce sound with accuracy and clarity, making it a valuable addition to any audio enthusiast's collection.
