DVS 8t (black) - wall speaker set Tannoy

Peak SPL of 118 dB and 400 W peak power handling make the Tannoy DVS 8t a commanding choice for commercial audio installations that demand both clarity and authority. This 8-inch 2-way surface mount loudspeaker pairs an 8" woofer with a 1" ICT tweeter inside a rugged, IP64-rated enclosure, delivering consistent, high-output sound for bars, restaurants, retail spaces, and outdoor venues.

Overview

The DVS 8t is a passive loudspeaker built for versatility and reliability. Its 8" woofer produces robust low-frequency response down to 55 Hz, while the 1" ICT (Inductive Coupling Technology) tweeter ensures smooth, extended highs up to 30 kHz. A 90° conical dispersion pattern covers wide areas evenly, reducing the number of speakers required for uniform coverage. The speaker includes a wall-mount bracket compatible with OmniMount systems, simplifying installation.
