INTRODUCTION

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications the Tannoy DVS is an ultra compact loudspeaker
system capable of delivering high sound pressure levels with extremely low distortion, resulting in outstanding

clarity, denition and detail. A truly universal solution, the DVS offers outstanding durability and resistance to scuffs
and knocks. Able to deliver consistent performance under a wide range of adverse conditions the DVS is suited
to applications indoors or out. Available in black or white the DVS will effectively blend into most backgrounds.

Utilisation of the point source loudspeaker allows the DVS to be mounted on a wall or ceiling in either horizontal

or vertical orientations without affecting its performance. A range of hardware options ensures simple and effective
installation. Also available with built-in line transformer. For applications requiring extended low frequency
enhancement, a range of Tannoy sub-bass systems are available and can be used in conjunction with the DVS.
