Tannoy Precision 8D Active Monitor (Pair)

Precision 8D Active Monitor description:

The Tannoy Precision 8D active monitors offer a combination of outstanding sound, compact footprint and value for your studio.

The Tannoy Precision 8D gets much of its clarity from a cast chassis Tannoy Dual Concentric driver. Effectively two drivers properly merged into one, with the HF mounted on the back of the LF unit so that both drivers are on the same axis, As a result sound energy is propagated from the same point and delivered through the centre of the low frequency cone providing a true point source.

This integrated approach provides a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum offering better transient performance and sound quality with better harmonic alignment than a displaced source monitor design. The crucial benefit at the mix position is the delivery of a more natural and cleaner sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility. A key benefit of the Dual design is a very wide 'sweet spot' with an exceptionally even response throughout the listening area and extraordinary transient response. This phase accurate Tannoy designed drive unit has, for all these reasons, been the choice of professional studio engineers for decades.

Tannoy Precision 8D main fetaures include:

• Clean, natural sound thanks to Dual Concentric driver
• Accurate high frequencies from Tannoy's exclusive SuperTweeter
• S/PDIF digital input plus analog ins
• Adjustable low, mid and high-frequency settings
• Stiff, heavy enclosure with special baffle design
• 40mm MDF sculpted baffle - stiff, heavy and rigid and minimises diffraction.
• Recessed drive units flush with the baffle surface - minimises diffraction.
• 10 point fixing maximises contact between drive unit and baffle.
• Drive unit development using Klippell analysis equipment to minimise offsets and linearise the suspension components.
• Two-way system with 120 watts low-frequency and 60 watts high-frequency power
• Tannoy-exclusive 8" Dual Concentric driver delivers clear, accurate lows, mids and highs
• SuperTweeter extends high-frequency range to 50kHz for accurate phase response
• Frequency range 44Hz-51kHz
• Digital inputs for an all-digital signal path all the way to the monitors
• Adjustable response curves and near/mid/far field settings adapt to your room
• Power amps have substantial heat sinks for reliable long-term performance
