This speaker is part of Tannoy’s CMS series and comes with a blind-mount (BM) back-can, allowing the enclosure to be installed during construction while the speaker assembly is fitted later. The design ensures clean integration into ceilings and protects internal components during building work.
The CMS 503DC BM supports 70V/100V line distributed systems as well as 16-ohm low-impedance operation, providing maximum flexibility for multi-zone installations. A front-accessible low-loss transformer tap selector allows installers to easily configure power levels during commissioning.
Constructed with a durable ABS back-can and powder-coated steel grille, this loudspeaker is designed for long-term reliability in professional environments such as offices, hotels, restaurants, retail stores, and conference rooms. Its wide dispersion pattern ensures consistent sound coverage across listening areas.
