NXT RANGE
The iP5 Mirage is a flat panel that operates as a Distributed Mode Loudspeaker (DML), technology licenced from NXT that has created a flush mounted acoustic tile to fit into a standard suspended ceiling. The end result is a safe, reliable, natural sounding audio solution that blends seamlessly with its architectural surroundings.
This technology has some unique benefits over all cone speakers; relating to the fundamental way in which sound waves from a distributed mode panel are propagated into the environment. The main benefits are extremely wide dispersion, where the sound reacts constructively with the room boundaries, and due to the random nature of radiation, resistance to microphone feedback. All this enables a single iP5 to cover large areas, especially in difficult acoustic environments. The vibrating is constructed from aerospace materials to provide the best combination of stiffness, weight, and pure audio output. This is vibrated by four specially developed exciters to obtain the most natural sound and highest sound pressure levels. Two versions are available the iP5 Mirage, designed for European ceiling tile grid applications, and the iP5 Mirage 2 x 2, sized for North American ceiling tile grids.

In addition there is a range of interface and power supply accessories designed for use with the VNET range of loudspeakers.

TA SERIES

Not Available in North America_
The TA Series of power amplifiers from Tannoy is a compact and versatile line of three professional power amplifiers ranging from 450 to 1050 watts into 2 Ohms, all using conventional toroid iron transformers. To achieve a compact design of 325mm (13.00) deep and 2 rack units high, the latest semiconductor technology is utilised, together with a sophisticated copper cooling system.
The sonic performance inherent in all Tannoy professional products, allied to comprehensive features, ensure these amplifiers are ideally suited to all situations from fixed installations to cost-effective live sound systems. Pioneering work on Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) has lead to an advanced chassis design, within the Tannoy TA series. Incorporating a sandwich construction of different iron materials minimises the magnetic hum field; avoiding issues inherent in conventional toroidal and C-core types of iron transformers have always been a cause of hum problems in power amplifier racks where they tend to interfere with more sensitive circuits in, for example, equalizers and active crossovers.

WALL BRACKET FLOORSTAND
The SFX5.1 satellite and centre channel speakers incorporate Tannoy WideBand technology. Extending high frequency response, in this case up to 78kHz, is not about increasing the amount of high frequencies you hear. The purpose is to effect a reduction of phase error, not only at the top end of the frequency range, but also well within the range of human hearing for harmonic recognition. What does this deliver? Starting even as low as 5kHz, the effect of phase error reduction improves sonic detail, imaging precision and overall system integration. In 5.1 audio applications WideBand improves the total acoustic performance of the system by delivering superior mid-band resolution and remarkable low frequency control, conveying music information with speed, impact and clarity. These essential acoustic characteristics are further enhanced during movie soundtrack reproduction through the provision of an involving and believable soundstage. The natural voicing of the SFX systems five satellites combine seamlessly with the powerful 100W active subwoofer. Aural effects and action sequences are delivered with impact and speech localisation pans flawlessly left to right and front to rear.

SUBWOOFER RANGE

Tannoy produces a range of compact active subwoofers designed to enhance the performance of stereo or multi-channel loudspeaker systems. These versatile subwoofers offer stereo line level inputs, which can either utilise or bypass the systems internal crossover circuitry. An external control allows the low frequency extension to be adjusted manually from around 60Hz down to the units lowest operating frequency. This useful feature ensures the optimum settings for music or home cinema listening, adjustment to match the relative level of the main speakers or just setting to personal taste. Users with balanced systems will be able to make use of the fitted XLR inputs and outputs provided.
The BASH amplifier technology utilised in the subwoofers, is a patented high efficiency power amplifier circuit topology that has taken the best of Class D and Class AB and created a new Class of its own. The digital power amplifier with its patented switch mode power supply delivers exceptional performance and excellent bandwidth with long-term reliability. Other features of the TS series include an auto power on and sleep function whereby the system will go into a stand-by mode if no signal is detected for approximately 12 minutes. Circuitry is fitted to limit the maximum sound output in order to eliminate audible distortion. There is a gain control to adjust output level and a phase control to allow more precise matching with the room and the rest of the system. In their soft-touch grey finish, these new Tannoy subwoofers are unobtrusive in both colour and size.

Please Note: In the North American market, some Prestige models are special order and delivery is 6-8 weeks.
The quality of the crossover components used has been upgraded to the highest standard to optimise acoustic performance throughout the loudspeakers frequency range. Hard-wired crossovers are used throughout and the routing of each cable has been painstakingly considered to ensure there is no degradation in sound quality. Similarly, the components have been carefully arranged to avoid any coupling effects. In particular, incredible transparency in the mid band has been achieved providing an enhanced true-to-life vocal clarity. Acrolink cable is used throughout the speakers; from terminal panels to crossovers, crossovers to drivers, LF board wiring and even the bi-wire links, while high purity silver (99.99%) link wires have been chosen on separate HF crossover board. Hovland Musicaps have been selected for the HF feed capacitor, fitted with a special Tannoy DMT (differential material technology) isolation sleeve, with high quality ICW Musicaps chosen for other areas. Vishay thick film non inductive resistors implemented in the critical areas, fitted with extensive heat sinking where necessary, combine with very low loss laminated iron core inductors on the LF section to provide enhanced and consistent sound quality. Round 5-point (bi-wire and ground point) terminal panels with high quality WBT connectors have been incorporated to ensure easier connection of substantial loudspeaker cable whilst maintaining complete signal path integrity. The overall aesthetic of the cabinet designs remain unchanged with the exception of updated badges and front baffle trim panels to reflect the SE status.

AUTOGRAPH MINI

The Autograph mini is a hugely scaled-down but authentic version of a loudspeaker that was famous throughout the audio world fifty years ago. Reduced to a fraction of the size of the immense and revered original Tannoy Autograph this exquisite replica is the ultimate modern retro audio product. Its diminutive size and accurately detailed finish produce a modern day classic that will embellish the most contemporary surroundings. Remaining true to the cabinet build and finish quality of that yesteryear model, the Autograph Mini naturally incorporates a Dual Concentric driver - the unique engineering statement that makes this speaker a real Tannoy.
Incorporating wide bandwidth technology to ensure breathtaking performance from a unit measuring just 4.00 in diameter, this is the smallest Dual ever manufactured. And following in the footsteps of its proven heritage the driver utilises a heavy cast alloy frame and multi fibre paper pulp cone. Delivering natural midrange and well defined bass, the traditional but high tech cone material also ensures subtlety with stunning detail and expansive imaging. A key component of the Autograph Mini is the titanium diaphragm high frequency unit positioned on the same axis as the bass section. Fitted with a neodymium magnet system to deliver a smooth response up to an incredible 54kHz, this key component in the Autograph Mini enhances the loudspeakers strikingly true to life performance. Ensuring complete signal path integrity, 99.99% high purity silver cable is used to connect the tweeter to the systems minimalist crossover network - a thoroughbred audiophile component in itself that includes low loss inductors and specially damped audio grade capacitors. High density birch ply with hardwood veneers and solid hardwood mouldings are utilised in the unique and chic design of the hand finished cabinet. As with its erstwhile and larger predecessor, authentic oatmeal coloured grille cloth is used to conceal the driver and is also inlayed within the angled sides towards the front of the miniature hexagonal cabinet. A high performance loudspeaker designed for the discerning fashion conscious.

needed. For example, presets can easily be established for the individual performance parameters of the differing standards such as DTS, THX etc. Studios are typically not just working on one project. There may be variable numbers of loudspeakers (2 / 2.1 / 5.1 / etc) being used for different projects and some jobs may span weeks at a time.

Bass management (sometimes called bass redirection) is a very important and useful tool. With conventional studio monitors external electronics is required to achieve bass management. It is in general an absolute necessity if you want to make a multi-channel set-up in a small room. The bass management system is designed to subtract the bass contents of all main channels and reproduce this by the use of a subwoofer. iDP systems provide a number of possible crossover frequencies that can be determined by the user. Tannoy iDP SOFT This software package is a beautifully simple PC or MAC based system controller / software editor. The intuitive on-screen user interface is designed to easily manipulate all parameters in the Precision iDP monitors, making this a flexible day-to-day system configuration tool.
