Tannoy used ISE 2026 to launch the CVS 601 PoE and DVS 601 PoE, the newest evolution of the company’s installation series.
The new models retain the acoustic signature of Tannoy’s CVS (ceiling) and DVS (surface mount) series, while introducing the streamlined efficiency of Power over Ethernet (PoE).
Designed to reduce installation complexity without compromising audio quality, the new models utilise a wideband 6.5-inch driver – known for speech intelligibility and music reproduction. The shift to PoE allows installers to deliver power, audio and control through a single standard Ethernet cable.
Each loudspeaker incorporates a high-performance two-channel integrated PoE amplifier providing up to 60 W of output power. In addition to driving the primary loudspeaker, the amplifier can power up to three additional passive loudspeakers, enabling flexible, scalable system designs from a single network connection.
By delivering power, audio and control over standard Ethernet cabling, the new PoE models claim to reduce installation time for retail, hospitality, corporate and education applications.
The CVS 601 PoE and DVS 601 PoE loudspeakers will be available in Q2 2026 via authorised Tannoy distributors worldwide and the price is currently TBC.
