Tannoy has introduced the VLS Series passive column array loudspeakers offering a balance of performance and cost, when active beam-steering may neither be required nor affordable. The VLS Series is the first Tannoy product to incorporate FAST (Focused Asymmetrical Shaping Technology), which delivers unique acoustic performance benefits.

Tannoy has introduced the QCV Series, a new range of “open ceiling” hanging pendant loudspeakers, designed for applications such as airports, railway stations, malls and large double/triple height commercial floors. The unique cylindrical form-factor has been conceived to meet the exacting demands of the architectural sector, minimizing the impact on aesthetics and allowing the systems designer to locate the loudspeakers discretely, at a desired height without regard to the physical ceiling height, and in a manner that won’t conflict with…
