Tannoy DI-5-DC Brochure

Di5 DC

Product Description

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the Tannoy Di5 DCt 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, Tannoy engineers 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 Di5 DCt uses a 110mm (4.50") complex multi fibre paper pulp
mix for the mid bass cone to achieve optimum acoustic performance, while a comprehensive
resin treatment process ensures the materials weather resistance. The concentrically positioned
19mm (0.75") 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 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 Di5 DCt

The Di5 DCt 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.
70V: 30W / 15W / 7.5W / 3.75W / OFF & Low Impedance operation
100V: 30W / 15W / 7.5W / OFF & Low Impedance operation
