Di8 DC data file // issue 1.06 // 15.01.08

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications, the Tannoy Di8 DC is a high

performance, ultra compact surface mount weather resistant loudspeaker. A full bandwidth

loudspeaker designed for commercial, professional and residential applications where environment

durability and high quality sonic performance are required. Indoor or outdoor, these speakers are

ideally suited to stereo or monaural background or foreground music systems in such applications

as diverse as theme parks, retail premises, restaurants and cafés, corporate audio visual, residential

developments and houses of worship.

Renowned for its extraordinary power handling, high sensitivity, extended frequency response and

very low distortion, Tannoy’s Dual Concentric™ provides a wide and controlled dispersion ensuring

optimum coverage. By placing the high frequency drive unit physically inside the low frequency

driver, Tannoy engineers have created a true point source that exhibits constant directivity and

unparalleled linearity. Perfect for this type of application, the driver system generates a spherical

wave front unaffected by energy loss at the crossover frequency in either vertical or horizontal

planes; allowing highly flexible speaker placement on the wall or ceiling with no compromise to

performance and vocal intelligibility.

The Dual Concentric™ driver in the Di8 DC uses a 200mm (8.00") complex multi fibre paper pulp

mix for the mid bass cone to achieve optimum acoustic performance, while a comprehensive resin

treatment process ensures the materials weather resistance. The concentrically positioned 25mm

(1.00") HF unit has a ferrofluid cooled titanium dome, with a neodymium magnet system, equipped

with dynamic high frequency protection.

Available in textured black or white painted finish with matching rubber trims, the

outstandingly durable and scuff resistant, high impact polystyrene (HIPS) Di enclosure is weather

resistant, rated IP64 to EN60529 (IEC529); a construction fully optimised for

consistent performance in adverse conditions indoors or out.

Modification is possible by application of alternative colour trims. Two standard colour trim

options are available from stock; enabling black or white product to be supplied factory pre-fitted with

either red or blue trims.

Other trim colours can also be created to suit specific requirements, but only as a special order

customisation subject to minimum order quantities. Primarily aimed at corporate branding

applications, this aesthetic flexibility will also enable colour coordination for larger installs.

Transformer version - the Di8 DCt

The Di8 DCt model option is equipped with an internally mounted low insertion loss line

transformer for 70V or 100V distributed sound applications. Wattage taps are easily configurable to

the following settings via an easily accessible rotary tapping switch, which is bottom panel mounted

under the rubber trim.

70V: 60W / 30W / 15W / 7.5W / OFF & Low impedance operation

100V: 60W / 30W / 15W / OFF & Low impedance operation
