With our own cutting edge acoustic technologies, Tannoy engineers have developed two new active monitors. The new Precision D Active range incorporates the latest Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver and WideBand™ Technology to deliver near field monitoring speaker designs that set new standards of acoustic performance and accuracy.

From the front:

• 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.
• Cast chassis Tannoy Dual Concentric™ point source constant directivity 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 SuperTweeter™ extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 50kHz 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.
• Smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects.

From the side:

• 18mm MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration.
• Internal construction braces the sides and rear of the cabinet against the rear of the bass driver to provide a rigid reactive mass for the moving cone assembly. Ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange.
• Front baffle and rear panel tongued and grooved into the cabinet as a mechanical interlock for safety if wall mounted.

From the rear:

• Simple foolproof gold plated terminal panel. No degradation due to bi-wire links in the HF signal path.
• OmniMount friendly fixing points for wall mounting.
