Introduction
The new Precision range combines the latest Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver and WideBand™ Technology to deliver near field monitoring speaker designs that set fresh standards of acoustic performance and accuracy. Exacting manufacturing processes ensure they deliver wide bandwidth, low distortion, smooth response, accurate phase control and high sensitivity performance with input flexibility.
Main Features
The Dual Concentric™ is unlike ordinary drive units in that it is effectively two drivers, properly merged into one. The HF is positioned on the back of the Mid/LF so that they are on the same axis, so sound energy is propagated from the same point and delivered through the centre of the LF cone to provide a true point source. This integrated approach provides a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum for a better transient performance, sound quality and better harmonic alignment than in a displaced source monitor design. The crucial benefit at the mix position is delivery of a cleaner and more natural sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility.
WideBand™ Technology is an essential component enabling delivery of increased tonal accuracy of individual instruments in the recording process - a mix-critical factor allowing the best EQ and placement decisions to be made. Rigid cabinet design combines with class leading acoustic and electronic technologies to provide class-leading precision in studio monitoring.
