Tannoy OCV 8 Coaxial Pendant Black Loudspeaker, 8 Inch

Tannoy OCV 8 Coaxial Pendant Loudspeaker, 8 Inch

The Tannoy OCV 8 8" Coaxial Pendant Loudspeaker is a passive commercial installation speaker for open ceilings and suspended applications. Its coaxial 8" low-frequency driver and 1" high-frequency driver deliver 80-degree conical coverage, while 70W average power handling supports clear music and speech reinforcement in larger spaces.

The OCV 8 suits retail environments, transportation facilities, hospitality spaces, conference areas, atriums, and other commercial locations where conventional in-ceiling speakers are impractical. An integrated 60W transformer supports 70V and 100V distributed systems, with selectable taps and a low-impedance 16-ohm mode for compatible amplifiers. A removable Euroblock connector also provides loop-through wiring for multi-speaker installations.

Its cylindrical ABS and steel enclosure combines a compact architectural profile with professional installation hardware. The OCV 8 reaches 114 dB peak SPL, covers frequencies from 75 Hz to 20 kHz within its -3 dB response, and carries UL-1480, UL-2043, and CE ratings. Included suspension and safety hardware supports secure pendant installation in permanent commercial AV systems.
