TANNOY WideBand™ SuperTweeter™ The Tannoy SuperTweeter™ extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 51kHz to correct the phase response from 8kHz to 20kHz within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image. The smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects. CABINET The cabinet has a 40mm MDF sculpted front-baffle. It’s stiff, heavy and rigid design minimises diffraction. The recessed drive units

Since Tannoy monitors have a natural-sounding flat frequency response and low distortion, it's possible not to be aware just how high the sound level is high while working with them. For continuous exposure we recommend
