Sold by pairs and designed for both speech and music nearfield applications, the 100-Watt VMS 1 utilises monitor-grade 5" low frequency and 1" high frequency driver for extended frequency range, low distortion, and exceptional long-term reliability.
Thanks to the speakers versatile and compact design, the VMS 1 is ideally suited for a wide range of applications, including stereo and surround setups, home recording studios, audio and video production, as well as fixed-installation sound systems for restaurants and bars, theme parks, hotels, retail stores and houses of worship.
The VMS 1 design includes custom, monitor-grade 5" low-frequency and 1" high-frequency drivers, in an enclosure robust enough for commercial applications. The phase-optimized and high-precision crossover delivers highly accurate and linear response, along with built-in auto-overload protection that prevents tweeter damage from excessive power surges. This configuration handles up to 100 Watts to deliver exceptional dynamics, realism, and enhanced intelligibility, all in a compact and highly-efficient system that is well-suited to a wide range of amplifier options including entry-level amplifiers.
The highly-durable and scuff-resistant ABS enclosure features a matte-black painted finish, along with an aesthetically-pleasing, powder-coated perforated steel grille and seamless rubber accents, all of which helps VMS 1 blend beautifully into any décor. Setting up is quick and easy thanks to the included colour-matched mounting bracket and spring terminals, or VMS 1 can simply be used as bookshelf speakers. For more complex installed-sound applications, the VMS 1 is designed with multiple internal rigging points and universal mounting points for optional industry-standard brackets.
The loudspeaker shall be of the passive full range type, consisting of one 5" (127 mm) LF driver and one 1 soft dome HF driver (24 mm). Performance specifications of a typical production unit shall meet or exceed the following: frequency response, measured with swept sine wave input, shall be flat within ±3 dB from 85 Hz to 20 kHz and within -10 dB from 70 Hz to 20 kHz. Nominal dispersion, at -6 dB points, shall average 150° H x 115° V. Nominal impedance shall be 4 Ohms. Power handling shall be 25 Watts continuous, 100 Watts peak. Sensitivity, measured with 1 Watt input at 1 metre distance on-axis, mean averaged over stated bandwidth, shall be 86 dB. Maximum SPL (peak) measured with music program input at stated amplifier power shall be 100 dB. Dimensions (H x W x D): 235 mm x 159 mm x 142 mm (9.25 x 6.25 x 5.6). Net weight: 1.8 kg (3.96 lbs). The loudspeaker system shall be the Tannoy VMS 1. No other loudspeaker shall be acceptable unless submitted data from an independent test laboratory verifies that the above combined performance/size specifications are equaled or exceeded.
