Tannoy VMS 1-WH Пасивна тонколона

Compact Install Monitor for Professional Sound Reinforcement

Tannoy VMS 1 White is a full-range surface-mount loudspeaker engineered for fixed-installation applications where speech intelligibility and music reproduction matter equally. Built around monitor-grade transducers and a phase-optimized crossover network, this passive speaker system brings Tannoy's professional audio heritage to commercial venues, hospitality spaces, and nearfield monitoring setups. It operates as a 2-way design with spring-load speaker terminals for straightforward wiring integration into existing amplifier systems.

Monitor-Grade Transducers with Auto-Overload Protection

What distinguishes this install monitor from typical commercial speakers is the combination of a custom 5-inch paper cone low-frequency driver and a 13 mm PEI dome high-frequency driver, both designed to Tannoy's monitor specifications. The high-precision crossover operates at 5.2 kHz with phase-optimized circuitry that ensures absolute phase linearity across the frequency spectrum. Built-in auto-overload protection prevents tweeter damage from excessive power surges and resets automatically, safeguarding the investment in demanding commercial environments.

Driver Configuration and Frequency Response

The transducer pairing determines how accurately the speaker reproduces both low-frequency warmth and high-frequency detail. Using a properly matched woofer and tweeter with precision crossover design ensures smooth transition between drivers, eliminating response gaps that cause muddled vocals or thin-sounding music playback.

• LF Driver: 135 mm (5.3") black paper cone — delivers extended low-frequency response with natural midrange character
• HF Driver: 13 mm (0.5") black PEI dome — provides crisp high-frequency extension without harshness
• To maintain coherence, the crossover frequency is set at 5.2 kHz, which allows for phase-optimized driver summation.

Power Handling and Sensitivity Specifications

Understanding power handling ratings helps match speakers to appropriate amplifiers while avoiding distortion or driver damage. Sensitivity ratings indicate how efficiently a speaker converts amplifier power into acoustic output, directly affecting maximum volume capability in a given space.

• Continuous Power Handling: 25W — suitable for background music and speech reinforcement in small to medium venues
• Peak Power Handling: 100W — accommodates dynamic program material with transient peaks
• Sensitivity: 86 dB (1W @ 1m) — moderate efficiency requiring appropriately sized amplifiers for adequate headroom
• Maximum output reaches 100 dB, which is sufficient for most installed sound applications without compression.

Dispersion Pattern and Coverage Area

Dispersion characteristics determine how sound energy spreads throughout a listening space. Wide, controlled dispersion patterns ensure consistent sound pressure levels across seating areas, reducing the need for multiple speaker zones and simplifying system design for installers.

• Horizontal coverage extends to 150°, easily handling broad seating areas from a single mounting position.
• Vertical dispersion is 115°, helping minimize ceiling and floor reflections.
• Nominal impedance is 4 ohms, making the VMS 1 White compatible with most commercial and prosumer amplifier outputs.

Installation Professionals and Venue Operators

This model is the right choice for AV integrators, installation contractors, and venue operators who need reliable, discreet loudspeakers for permanent mounting in commercial environments. Restaurants, bars, retail stores, hotels, theme parks, and houses of worship benefit from the combination of professional-grade sound quality, durable construction, and unobtrusive aesthetics. The included wall-mount bracket and rear-panel safety attachment loop point simplify installation while ensuring secure, code-compliant mounting. The matte-white finish and perforated steel grille allow the speakers to blend into most interior designs without drawing visual attention.

Tannoy's Legacy in Professional Audio

Tannoy has built its reputation on dual-concentric driver technology and monitor-grade loudspeaker design since 1926. The VMS series applies this heritage to the installation market, bringing the same attention to driver matching, crossover design, and enclosure engineering that defines Tannoy's professional monitoring products. The VMS 1 White represents an accessible entry point into Tannoy's installed sound solutions, offering the brand's sonic character in a compact, cost-effective format suitable for projects where budget constraints cannot compromise audio quality.
