Based on an all-new evolution of Tannoy’s proprietary Dual Concentric™ point-source driver, the CMS 503DC LP has been fundamentally re-engineered to deliver wider and more consistent broadband directivity, even greater intelligibility, and a more accurate and linear response. With a greatly reduced back-can depth, the ultra low-profile CMS 503DC LP has been engineered specifically for applications where ceiling cavity dimensions are a critical limiting factor.

This specialized ceiling device retains the exceptional sonic performance of the standard CMS 503DC, in a much shallower profile package, achieving similar back-can volume by virtue of a slightly larger diameter (and hole cut-out size). The new Dual Concentric driver design features revolutionary Omnimagnet™ technology and unique patent-pending Torus Ogive Waveguide™ device, together providing more consistent and controlled directivity along with improved high frequency response. Improved time-alignment and greater coherence between LF and HF results in a wider sweet spot for enhanced performance both on and off-axis.

The CMS 503DC LP utilizes a 16 ohm driver, making it ideal for use in high performance low impedance systems, with optimized performance when used in conjunction with Lab.gruppen LUCIA amplifiers. The low-insertion loss 30 W transformer features convenient front bezel switching for taps at 30 W, 15 W and 7.5 W, with an additional 3.75 W tap for traditional constant voltage systems.

The CMS 503DC LP also features extra clamp extension to accommodate thicker ceiling panels, and a locking design that prevents inadvertent over-screwing. Magnetic grille attachment enables easy removal and fitting for custom painting and tapping changes with grilles now available as either traditional style (inset in bezel) or new Arco™ style, which conceals the entire unit for architect-friendly aesthetic appeal.

The CMS 503DC LP is a blind mount loudspeaker device, supplied with an integral back-can, ready to install as a single unit. It comes supplied with classic grille, two tile support rails and one C-ring; Arco grille and plaster (mud) ring are available as optional accessories.
