Product Description  
Features  
• 150mm (6.00”) high sensitivity, point source and  
constant directivity Dual Concentric™ drive unit  
The Definition Install DC6i has been designed around the unique Tannoy Dual Concentric™  
drive unit to bring class leading performance to a wide range of installation applications;  
from media rooms to home theatre and boardrooms through to high end marine interiors  
these loudspeakers deliver class leading accuracy, sensitivity and dynamics.  
• Constant time delay over the frequency spectrum  
• Exceptional transient performance  
Characteristic of the Dual Concentric™ design is a very wide 'sweet spot' with an  
exceptionally even response throughout the listening area, as well as an extraordinary  
transient response; reasons enough for this phase accurate Tannoy designed drive unit to  
have been the choice of professional studio engineers all over the world for many years.  
• 90 degree conical dispersion  
• Superior harmonic alignment  
• Natural, clean and integrated sound  
• Enhanced intelligibility, sound staging and dynamics  
• Recommended amplifier power 100 to 200W @ 8 Ohms  
• Sensitivity 90dB (1W = 2.83V for 8 Ohms)  
• Maximum SPL 110dB average  
The Dual Concentric™ is effectively two drivers properly merged into one where, unlike  
ordinary drive units, the high frequency unit is positioned on the back of the low frequency  
driver. As a result they are on same axis, so ensuring that sound energy is effectively  
propagated from the same point and delivered through the centre of the low frequency cone  
as true point source. Such integration optimises reproduction quality by providing a constant  
time delay over the frequency spectrum, exceptional transient performance, wide dispersion  
and superior harmonic alignment; all of which delivers to the listening position a natural,  
clean and integrated sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility, sound staging and dynamics.  
• Rugged construction MDF enclosure, vented,  
internally braced and finished with textured black paint  
• Multiple hanging options  
This compact MDF cabinet is vented and rigidly constructed with extensive bracing to be  
acoustically inert. The speaker is designed to be hidden within a custom designed  
installation; mounted on wall either behind the screen or acoustically transparent decorative  
panels with no appreciable loss of performance. The unit can be mounted either horizontally  
or vertically using the integral keyhole mounts and the supplied wall plate.  
Applications  
Designed to be used in left, centre or right locations the DC6i is capable of explosive  
dynamics with stunning detail in both music and movie application in vast array of listening  
and viewing environments.
