Introduction
Taking full advantage of significant advances in digital speaker measuring techniques such as Klippell™ symmetry and non-linear distortion analysis, laser scanning interferometry, acoustic CAD simulation and our own cutting edge acoustic technologies, Tannoy engineers have developed the Precision D active monitors.
Main Features
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.
These models provide superior bandwidth, significantly low levels of distortion, very smooth response, extremely accurate phase control, high sensitivity levels and input source flexibility. Add in a comprehensive calibrated EQ facility for mid / near / close field working in full / half /quarter and eighth space environments, mid-band and high frequency trim shelving controls, a choice of power and cabinet sizes, analogue and digital input trim facilities, and user requirements can be satisfied for all listening environments and applications.
