The QCI range is designed with the same high standards and attention to detail as our flagship professional and hi-fi loudspeakers.

Tannoy Dual Concentric
Designed and engineered in the UK, the full-range QCI A1-BL comprises a single 5" Glass Fibre driver and high-excursion rubber surround. Capable of handling up to 240 Watts, the QCI A1 is extremely easy to drive and suits a wide variety of amplifiers and applications. The QCI A1-BL features our legendary and exclusive Tannoy Dual Concentric Driver technology. With over seven decades of continuous refinement, the Dual Concentric driver delivers a near-perfect point source. The high-frequency driver is located centrally dramatically improving time coherence. The benefits are outstanding tonal accuracy - faithful to the original material, better-controlled dispersion and a more natural sound with a wider listening sweet-spot.
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.
Beautifully Elegant
The stylish and highly durable PC injection-moulded surface mount enclosure blends unobtrusively in any décor and benefits from IP54 dust and water protection for outdoor use. Installation is quick and easy, thanks to the included colour-matched mounting bracket and finger-adjustable hardware on the enclosure top and bottom.
