iw6 TDC
Product Description
The iw6 TDC is a full bandwidth in wall speaker system, using a 165mm (6.50") Tannoy
Dual Concentric™ point source, constant directivity drive unit with an additional 25mm
(1.00") Tannoy SuperTweeter™. Designed primarily for installation into standard stud
partition wall systems, it may also be used in cavity wall installations constructed with
standard thickness drywall as well as a wide range of other wall construction types with a
surface thickness of up to 25mm (1.00”).
High power handling and 91dB efficiency ensure this compact unit is ideally suited to
applications requiring the combination of premium sonic quality for music and speech
reinforcement and exceptional reliability and intelligibility.
The 165mm (6.50") Tannoy Dual Concentric™ drive unit comprises a multi fibre paper
pulp mid bass cone and a 25mm (1.00") ferrofluid cooled, titanium dome HF unit with
neodymium magnet system. The mid-bass and tweeter sections of this constant directivity
driver are coincidentally aligned to a true point source; ensuring 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 addition of a 25mm (1.00") titanium dome SuperTweeter™ extends the frequency
bandwidth out to over 50kHz, further enhancing the already class leading, low distortion
performance of the iw6 TDC with an exceptionally natural and open soundstage. The iw6
TDC is also equipped with dynamic high frequency protection.
The drivers and passive frequency dividing network are mounted in an injection moulded,
paintable front baffle manufactured from UV/weather resistant UL94V-0 ABS material.
The class leading performance is further enhanced by the inclusion of six self aligning,
spring loaded clamps; allowing for quick install but also for simple removal or reorientation
of the loudspeaker. The rigidity of the clamps and baffle combination crucially provides the
acoustically optimum bond to the wall surface without risk of distortion to the baffle itself.
Gold plated spring loaded terminals are provided for ease of installation and a steel back
can is available as an optional installation accessory.
