  The BFA - Members - Tannoy
Tannoy is one of the longest established audio companies in the world, having been in ‘the business’ for more than 75 years.
The word Tannoy is synonymous with sound, even appearing in the dictionary as: ‘a communications system with loudspeakers, used for making announcements in public buildings.’ The phrase ‘Over the Tannoy’ is universally used to describe a PA announcement.
Over the years, Tannoy has continued to develop its expertise in many areas where there is a requirement for high quality sound - most notably in the area of broadcast, professional recording (both audio and film sound track), and of course the company is renowned world-wide for its extensive range of hi-fi loudspeakers.

 SoundStage! Equipment Review - Tannoy Dimension TD10 Loudspeakers (8/2002)
Tannoy says that the supertweeter corrects for phase anomalies below its effective range by moving the low-pass roll-off point of the entire speaker much higher up in frequency.
Apparently Tannoy noticed an improvement in sound quality when the chassis of the drive unit is grounded, which they claim prevents RFI from being fed back to the amplifier.
With the Tannoys, the depth and width of the soundstage are as they should be, but the images are coherent -- larger and more diffuse, yet less artificial at the same time.

 Musician's Friend - Hands On Review: Tannoy Monitoring Systems
Tannoy's Reveal X was originally designed as a center channel monitor in 5.1 surround systems.
Tannoy's focus on sound consistency in each speaker element they produce ensures a constant sonic landscape when the source material pans across the soundfield from left through the center channel to right.
It soon became apparent to Tannoy that with the robust mid-bass handling offered by the dual drivers used in pairs, the Reveal X underpinned with a PS 110B Active Sub would serve the needs of remixers and DJs.

 Tannoy Dual Concentric drivers - a survey [English]
Curiously, Tannoy have been promoting the virtues of a true point source design, as offered by the dual concentric drivers, for well over 40 years and yet it is only comparatively recently that other manufacturers (e.g.
I have been listening to Tannoys, either professionally or privately, for over 30 years and, while I have heard a great many other classic designs in that time, there is still something about the Tannoy sound that is at once unique and comfortable.
With the Tannoy dual concentric drivers there is a tight physical integration of the high and low frequency drivers, leading to a coherent and linear phase response.

 Home Theater: Tannoy Sensys Loudspeaker System
Tannoy dubbed their "tweeter inside a woofer" design as Dual Concentric, a hallmark of the company's upper-end speakers that dates back to (gulp) 1948.
Tannoy's next-generation TS Series subwoofers were still a few months away when I worked on this review, so I pressed my trusty REL Storm III subwoofer into service.
Tannoy's subs should be at their dealers by the time you read this.

 System 4 - Sony/Tannoy
Tannoy’s hallmark product has been the dual concentric driver, first introduced in 1948, this unique speaker system features a horn compression driver concentrically mounted with the woofer and sharing the same magnet structure.
Tannoy has refined this technology for over 50 years, and it has been implemented in all of their finest speaker systems including the Sensys speakers featured in this system.
Because Tannoy has used the same drive unit in all the speakers in this lineup the result is perfect timbre matching for all channels.We have provided the Tannoy model Sensys DC2 floor standing speaker for the main stereo pair, the matching DCC center speaker and the DC1 bookshelf speakers for surrounds.

 Tannoy Reveal 5A
While it's full of good information, Tannoy has added enough humor to keep what could be a dry, dull manual and made it entertaining, including jokes about the existence of a manual for monitors and a note to discourage placing a potted plant on a speaker.
Finally, Tannoy suggests checking the final placement by playing some music with a solid low end and then placing the speakers on a rubber pad or monitor-mounting surface as opposed to a countertop to hear the difference.
Simply, the Tannoys are true, although it was not easy to turn my own voice up to nearly 90dB to listen for distortion for a solid minute.

 Stereophile: Tannoy Dimension TD12 loudspeaker
The benefit of Tannoy's traditional Dual-Concentric drive-unit topology is that the woofer's and tweeter's radiation patterns are much better matched through the crossover region than is usually the case with diaphragms of such different sizes.
Fig.5 Tannoy Dimension TD12, lateral response family at 50", normalized to response on coaxial tweeter axis, from back to front: differences in response 90 degrees-5 degrees off-axis, reference response, differences in response 5 degrees-90 degrees off-axis on driver side of baffle.
However, the reflection at the 5ms mark is a characteristic of the speaker, possibly the tweeter output reflecting and/or diffracting from the edge of the woofer cone.

 Queen To The Kingdom - Tannoy Dimension TD12 Loudspeaker by Alvin Gold
This is another proprietary technology, a tweeter which is designed to extend the bandwidth of the system to well in excess of 50kHz, and which is housed in a solid aluminum case bolted to the main structure of the speaker.
Rather than using enormously thick chipboard panels to deaden the enclosure, Tannoy has taken the more intelligent route of building the carcass from birch ply, 25mm thick for the main panels apart from the baffle, which is 38mm thick.
Tannoy hasn't rewritten the rulebook, and there is still a suggestion of quintessential Dual Concentric-like mid and upper-midband coloration in the TD12, but they have tamed it's worst manifestations.

Like TC Electronic’s products, Tannoy speakers (such as the System 215 illustrated) are widely used in the professional environment, both for studio monitoring and the kind of sound reinforcement/public address applications for which the company is famous.
Tannoy recently severed its European distribution link with Marantz, and introduced its unusual-looking Eyris speakers, which are designed for wide band applications such as Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio.
TGI (Tannoy Goodmans Industries) was founded in 1987 when Tannoy and Goodmans merged, and until a couple of years ago the company also included two more famous British names, Epos and Mordaunt-Short, both of which companies are now owned elsewhere.

 Stereophile: Tannoy Dimension TD12 loudspeaker
From the earliest days of their involvement with domestic audio, Tannoy believed that one of the great impediments to making a convincing full-range loudspeaker was the fact that different drivers, covering different portions of the audible frequency spectrum, create wavefronts that tend not to blend well: Their dispersion characteristics clash.
Tannoy introduced their solution to those problems in 1947, when Sam Tellig was but a wee lad and the end of World War II made it possible for England to redirect her wartime technologies toward more peaceful things: a one-piece woofer and tweeter, arranged coaxially.
Even with the Tannoys well into the room and away from the walls, the sound was more colored than that of the similarly priced Quad ESL-989 speakers, whose places they'd taken: boomy bass, and odd dips and peaks throughout much of the midrange.

 UltimateAVmag.com: Tannoy Dimension surround speaker system
During World War II, Tannoy speakers became so common on RAF airfields and in British railway stations that the word "Tannoy" became synonymous with "speaker." Your average high-tech company is considered old after 10 years; to reach the age of 75 makes Tannoy positively prehistoric.
Tannoy has invested many years of research and refinement in their Dual Concentric drive-unit, a coaxial design they have used successfully in a wide range of speaker systems.
For this review, Tannoy sent their TD10 for the front left and right speakers (a smaller TD8 and larger TD12 are also available), the TDC center speaker, and a pair of Saturn S8LR speakers, coupled with two ST100 SuperTweeters for the rears.

A set of DIP switches on the rear control panel of the Tannoy Reveal 8D allows the selection of an optimum speaker response for real life and often difficult monitoring situations so that the frequency response at the listener’s ears is always as linear and flat as possible.
Tannoy Reveal 8D monitors can therefore be optimised for varying listening distances in difficult acoustic spaces; varying meter bridge positions, against and adjacent to walls or reflecting surfaces, in corners, in corners on shelves or brackets, table top / space restricted PC/Mac based sound editing environments and stand mounted or soffit mounted configurations.
The Tannoy Reveal 8D monitors are ready to integrate with your analog or digital production environment, with XLR and 1/4 inch jack Combi connectors for balanced inputs, RCA input for SPDIF with 75 Ohm terminating impedance and a 2nd RCA for SPDIF output for slaving a stereo pair.

 Home Theater & Sound Equipment Review -- Tannoy Saturn Home-Theater Speaker System (4/2001)
Tannoy products come in all shapes and sizes and thanks to true trickle-down technology, everything I’ve heard from the company has been pretty good and shares a familial sound.
But Tannoy’s method of mounting the tweeter within the mid-woofer directly addresses this principle, and there are now numerous other high-end companies that do what Tannoy has been doing for decades.
The Tannoys rival some of the most neutral speakers I’ve ever had here, most notably a Dynaudio-based system, for sheer musicality with nary a sharp edge to be found.

Tannoy has been designing and manufacturing speakers in the United Kingdom for as long as anyone can recall.
If a Brit tells you that he just heard something on the "Tannoy," you're more likely to be in a train station than a hi-fi shop, and he's talking about an announcement on the PA system.
Tannoy recommends removing the plugs (the specs reflect the no-plug condition) unless you must position the speakers close to a wall.

 Tannoy GRF page 1
This daunting project took many days and nights of brain tearing carpentry, and the results are spectacular, producing a sound of effortless breadth and midrange/ bass detail that conventional direct radiating loudspeakers are unable to reproduce with the same characteristics.
Having recently heard these enclosures, I have surmised that the main difference between the sound of horns and conventional direct radiator designs is not the amount of bass, or even the frequency response characteristics as a whole, but more the ability to reproduce transients as they occur in real life.
Tannoy released a reissue of the vintage GRF Memory HE which were similar to the Yorkminster corner enclosures, but these are not the horn designs of which there were two.
