Tannoy Ellipse 8 Extended Frequency Advanced Active Studio Monitor (Pair)

Ellipse 8 Extended Frequency Advanced Active Studio Monitor description:

The Tannoy ELLIPSE 8 Extended Frequency Advanced Active Studio Monitor. Futuristic design with high quality referencing.

The Tannoy ELLIPSE 8 monitor is a fully time-aligned, 3-way active system utilising Dual Concentric plus SuperTweeter drive units, the Ellipse 8 has a frequency response extending to above 50kHz for monitoring of wideband programme material. The Ellipse 8 features ninety degree horizontal dispersion, giving you a wide sweet spot for practical working across the console, while analogue signal processing achieves an exceptionally flat frequency response in use. The Ellipse 8 also features discrete MOSFET power amplifiers, with generous power supply, providing more than ample power with extremely low noise and distortion. The unique cabinet shape of the Ellipse 8 not only has a striking appearance but is inherently stiff. Constructed of laminated birch with a massive MDF baffle and rear panel, the enclosure is non-resonant acoustically and mechanically.
