CMS801 sub

Product Description

The Tannoy CMS801 subwoofer is a compact unit is specifically designed to complement
the full range CMS ceiling monitor systems; delivering low frequency extension into
applications that require a combination of premium sonic quality and output level for music
and speech reinforcement.

The 200mm (8.00") driver, with long throw multi fibre paper pulp cone, and a 2nd order
160Hz passive crossover are mounted in a vented, injection moulded, paintable front baffle
manufactured from UV/weather resistant UL94V-0 ABS material.

Two CMS801 subwoofer model versions and a separate back can are available to satisfy
the vast majority of installation application requirements:

CMS801 sub BM (Blind Mount) - supplied with an integral back can.
CMS801 sub PI (Pre-Install) - supplied without a back can.
CMS801 PI Back Can (Pre-Install back can) - use with the CMS801 sub PI.

The CMS801 sub BM model is equipped with a low insertion loss 60W line transformer
mounted within the back can. This is easily configurable to the following settings via front
baffle mounted rotary tapping switch:

70V systems: 60W / 30W / 15W / 7.5W / OFF & low Impedance operation
100V systems: 60W / 30W / 15W / OFF & low Impedance operation

The CMS801 sub PI is supplied without a transformer. If the product is to be used without a
back can a 60W line transformer (7600 1658) is available as an optional accessory for easy
connection to the baffle mounted control switch circuit. Installing the transformer in this
manner (flying) requires installation in accordance with local building regulations.

NOTE: For optimum performance and full compliance with safety ratings Tannoy
recommends using the CMS801 PI back can (8001 4570) accessory option in which the
transformer is pre-fitted.

The zinc plated steel back cans have an integrated, recessed termination box. The
removable locking connector has screw terminals for secure wire termination and "loop
through" facility. Strain relief is provided by a clamping mechanism for use with plenum
rated cable or conduit.

Architectural specifications

he Ceiling Subwoofer System shall consist of a 200mm (8.00") transducer, with long throw multi fibre paper pulp cone, and a 2nd order 160Hz passive

T

rossover mounted in a vented, injection moulded, paintable front baffle in UL94V-0 ABS material.

c

The back can in both PI (pre-install) & BM (Blind-mount) variants shall be constructed of zinc plated steel. A recessed termination box shall be integrated with

the back can, a removable locking connector with screw terminals for secure wire termination with "loop through" facility shall be provided. Strain relief will be

provided by a clamping mechanism for use with plenum rated cable or conduit.

For pre-wiring the PI (pre-install) back can is provided with conduit knockouts (19mm/22mm/28mm, 0.75"/0.87"/1.14"). A safety ring is located on the rear of

the back can for a load bearing safety bond.

Performance of the Ceiling Subwoofer System shall meet or exceed the following criteria: Frequency range measured on axis shall be 42Hz - 300Hz (-10dB

from rated sensitivity, measured in an IEC baffle in an anechoic chamber with no equalization). Sensitivity shall be 92dB (1W @ 1m where 1W = 2.45V for 6

Ohms). Long term power handling capacity as defined in EIA-426B test shall be 100W, recommended amplifier power 200W. The nominal system

mpedance shall be 6 Ohms (in low impedance setting).

i

The Ceiling Subwoofer System shall be equipped with a 60W high performance line transformer for use in 70.7 or 100 Volt distributed audio systems with 60,

30, 15, 7.5* Watt taps available. An easily accessible rotary switch located on the front baffle shall be available for selecting transformer and low impedance

settings. A weather resistant perforated steel grille covers the transducer and switch.

Two support rails and one C-Ring shall be included with the ceiling monitor system.
