higher than 20kHz are inaudible in all but a few human beings, by extending the high frequency response to 35kHz and beyond we can correct the phase response within the audible band up to 20kHz. Go to www.tannoy.com for our white paper on this 1.0: INTRODUCTION subject. Both drive units are mounted on a massive 40mm thick baffle, curved to minimise diffraction and creating the loudspeakers distinctive styling. The drive units are magnetically shielded to reduce stray magnetic fields and allow

All two way component systems have to live with some listening position dependent compromises at the crossover point. The 2.5: POWER AMPLIFIERS crossover frequency of all of these small systems falls into the center of the midband (2.0kHz to 3.0kHz), where we are most capable of recognising frequency/phase response deviations. The power amplifier should be reasonably well matched in power to the power rating of the speakers (see specifications). The use of a powerful amplifier (i.e. in excess of

Another interesting note, the Tannoy true point-source Dual Concentric™ monitors are free from the physical offsets previously The speaker axis (shown on the diagram) should be aimed at the halfway point between your furthest forward and the furthest described, which means that the behavior of the Dual Concentric™ monitors will not change in the horizontal, vertical or any back listening positions (as indicated by the two heads on the diagram). This is typically a range of about 24" (600mm). If

3.6: EQUALisATION The STRING analyser Our feeling is that you shouldn't equalise monitors at all to compensate for inadequate room design. Variations in the monitor response should be fixed through placement (after all, that's what this manual's about). But we realise that equalisation is sometimes a necessary evil. If you have a choice of equalisers for monitor applications, less is more. The fewer the number of filters, the better the equaliser will sound. A stereo five band parametric is bet

7.3: CROSSOVER The crossover is mounted on the rear of the terminal panel. To inspect it, remove the panel by releasing the hexagonal screws. Take care to avoid undue stress on the cables and components. To remove the crossover completely the cables must be disconnected from the drive unit. Please proceed as above to remove the drive unit. 7.4: LIST OF SPARE PARTS PART NUMBER DESCRIPTION Type 1603 -7900 0747 Driver Kit Type 0294 – 7900 0891B High Frequency Unit Type 1464 – 7300 0937 Passive Cros

The 527.0mm 340.0mm 3 3 20 /4” 13 /8” use of a powerful amplifier (i.e. in excess of the recommended figure) provides headroom, which is useful especially for highly dynamic programme materials. Due of the high peak power handling of Tannoy monitors, responsible use of even more powerful amplifiers should not represent a danger t
