Tannoy 8" 8 Ohm 100W In-Ceiling Subwoofer - CVS 801S

Overview

The Tannoy CVS 801S is an 8-inch in-ceiling subwoofer designed to provide extended low-frequency reinforcement for background and foreground music systems. Engineered for commercial applications such as restaurants, hotels, and retail spaces, this subwoofer features a long-excursion polypropylene driver with a butyl rubber surround. It is capable of handling 100W continuous and 400W peak power, delivering deep, punchy bass without the need for an external crossover thanks to its acoustic low-pass baffle design.

Built for professional installation, the CVS 801S is housed in a UV- and weather-resistant ABS baffle with a durable zinc-plated steel back can. It carries UL 1480 certification for fire-protected signaling systems and UL 2043 certification for air-handling spaces (plenum rating). The speaker offers flexible connectivity with a low-insertion-loss transformer for 70V/100V distributed lines or a standard 8-ohm direct input, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into a wide variety of audio configurations.
