Tannoy Dual Concentric
At the heart of the three-way PCI 45DC + RB’s incredible performance, you will find an all-new development of our legendary and exclusive Dual concentric driver technology. Designed and engineered in the UK, this listener-focused new driver handles up to 280 Watts and is extremely easy to drive. The compact, stylish and state-of-the-art design comprises a single 118.5 mm (4.50") driver with a blue Kevlar cone high-excursion rubber surround and centrally located HF drive. This new Dual Concentric driver offers enhanced dispersion – creating an even more balanced spread of sound around the listening area.
These time-coherent, point source dispersion characteristics make this latest version of the Dual Concentric philosophy perfect for premium audio listening. Performance is full and impactful, the mid-range is detailed, and high frequencies deliver amazing clarity.
Advanced Tulip Waveguide
Performance is further enhanced by the implementation of a highly innovative point source Tulip Waveguide with symmetrical dispersion, which provides a broad soundstage with remarkably focused and accurate stereo imaging
Dual Woofer
The stylish design features dual 126mm (5.00") LF drivers with a high-excursion rubber surround. The dual-driver configuration offers increased cone surface area for exceptional punch and low-frequency extension from a compact and highly efficient design. The dual drivers provide a similar surface area to a much larger single 254mm (10.00”) driver but remain significantly smaller.
Low-frequency performance is full and impactful, with clean, clear and dynamic bass. These characteristics make this design perfect for premium audio listening. The PCI 45 DC + RB is ideal for small, medium and large-sized rooms.
Elegant Simplicity
Engineered to the highest standard the PCI range features powder-coated perforated UV-resistant steel mesh grills that protect from dust and can be removed and painted to match any décor. Unlike many in-ceiling loudspeakers, the PCI DC range has an extremely thin bezel for unobtrusive installation. A rigid diecast chassis improves bass performance and an innovative self-aligning clamping system makes the single integrated unit easy to install.
