The Tannoy CMS 403ICTE is a professional 4-inch full-range directional ceiling loudspeaker designed for high-quality commercial audio installations. Built for environments requiring precise sound coverage and discreet integration, this speaker uses Tannoy’s ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) driver to deliver clear speech intelligibility and balanced background music reproduction.
The CMS 403ICTE features a directional pivoting design with adjustable tilt and 360° rotation, allowing installers to aim the speaker toward specific listening areas. This makes it ideal for challenging ceiling placements where conventional fixed speakers may not provide optimal coverage.
Designed for distributed sound systems, the speaker supports 70V, 100V, and 16-ohm operation via a built-in transformer with convenient front-panel tap switching. Its blind-mount enclosure with integrated ABS back-can allows clean installation while protecting internal components.
The CMS 403ICTE is engineered for durability in demanding environments such as retail spaces, hospitality venues, offices, and conference facilities. A powder-coated steel grille, UV-resistant finish, and safety ring for load-bearing cable attachment ensure reliability and long service life in professional installations.
