Tannoy Introduces AMS Series Dual Concentric Architectural Loudspeakers

June 17 2015, 03:10
UK loudspeaker manufacturer Tannoy has launched a new range of surface mount architectural loudspeakers incorporating its very latest Dual Concentric technology. The new series was introduced at the InfoComm 2015 show and is targeted at entertainment and hospitality venues where quality and reliability is required.

According to Tannoy, the AMS series loudspeakers have been engineered to produce a sonic characteristic that is perfectly matched with the company’s CMS 3.0 ceiling loudspeaker launched last summer. The AMS Series now provides a uniformly transparent and seamless sound signature throughout a multi-zoned venue equipped with both ceiling mount and wall mount Tannoy speakers. 

Using the latest generation Dual Concentric (DC) technology, the AMS series comprises seven models ranging in three form factors from 5-inch to 8-inch, with elegantly styled moulded enclosures available in black or white as standard and with custom colour being available on special order. According to Tannoy, the new AMS models have undergone the most punishing environmental testing of any product in company’s history – achieving an IP65 rating, which is among the highest in the industry for outdoor use and challenging environments. UUMW ICT driver versions are also available for mission critical voice alarm system applications.

Behind the unobtrusive, smoothly formed, weather-resistant zinc-plated nickel grilles and higher temperature polymer mouldings lies the technical heart of AMS – Tannoy’s revolutionary Omnimagnet technology and a unique patent-pending Torus Ogive Waveguide device. Together these innovations provide more consistent and controlled directivity along with improved high frequency response, as well as much improved time alignment and greater coherence between the low frequency and high frequency drivers.

The AMS range utilises a 16-Ω driver, making it ideal for use in high performance low-impedance systems (with optimized performance when used in conjunction with the new Lab.gruppen Lucia amplifiers). Alternatively, for constant voltage systems, Tannoy have specified as standard, high quality low-insertion loss transformers with variable tap settings.
