1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Tannoy i8 AW.
Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications the Tannoy i8 AW (All
Weather) is an ultra compact loudspeaker system capa ble of delivering high sound
pressure levels with extremely low distortion, resulting in outstanding clarity, definition
and detail.
A truly universal solution, the i8 AW offers outstanding durability and resistance to
scuffs and knocks. Able to deliver co nsistent performance under a wide range of
adverse conditions the i8 AW is suited to applications indoors or out, whether it be a
theme bar or theme park. Available in charcoal grey or white the i8 AW will effectively
blend into most backgrounds.
Utilisation of the point source Dual Concentric loudspeaker allows the i8 AW to be
mounted on a wall or ceiling in either horizontal or vertical orientations as well as pole
mounted, without affecting its performance. A range of hardware options ensures
simple and effective installation. Also available with built in line transformer (i8T AW).
The i8 AW comprises one 8 inch (200mm) Dual Concentric driver where the low
frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) sources are coincidentally aligned to a point
source, resulti ng in a smooth uniform frequency response over a wide area of
coverage. The sophisticated CAD designed waveguide combines 60° conical
dispersion and excellent acoustic impedance characteristics.
For applications requiring extended low frequency enhancement , a range of Tannoy
sub - bass systems are available and can be used in conjunction with the i8 AW.
