Introduction

In order to maintain our leading position in the worldwide professional studio market, the core technologies of Tannoy are constantly being refined. The latest updates have resulted in a fully re-engineered Dual Concentric™ drive unit and an improved, ultra high performance SuperTweeter™, which is a key component within Tannoy’s long-term development programme of WideBand™ technology. Due to our partnership with the TC Group of companies, Tannoy’s highly experienced engineering team also have direct access to leading edge digital and electronic technologies.

The Precision iDP™ range represents state of the art studio monitors of immense ability, designed by Tannoy to exceed the performance expectations of the audio professional, integrating unique technology with such acoustic benefits as to ensure that there is much more to Precision iDP™ than innovative design.

Precise room optimisation has now taken a quantum leap forward thanks to the development of Tannoy iDP™ (interactive Digital Programming) Technology and its incorporation into the Precision models. Precision iDP™ is a brand new and stunningly versatile intelligent active monitoring system, combining the unique Tannoy Dual Concentric™, WideBand™ technology with the latest cutting edge digital processing from TC Electronic.

Precision iDP™ studio monitors provide the professional user with complete control over the entire monitoring operation. Preset storage / recall and total acoustic alignment flexibility are all executed with ultimate precision via remote control. iDP™ technology also allows the user to control parameters in ‘real time’ - such as bass management, global level, recall of different preset settings, solo / mute functions etc. With its built-in equalization capability, perfect matching to the listening environment is possible. Each loudspeaker can be individually optimised, taking into account its exact position within the room relative to the room boundary, and its own performance relative to the acoustic properties of the room itself.

Incorporating DSP technology, networking intelligence, class D digital amplifiers, plus Tannoy’s acclaimed driver technology, the Precision iDP™ loudspeakers provide new levels of performance and operation convenience in studio monitoring.

When any software updates become available, Precision iDP™ monitors in a setup can be updated via the network connections. This is done using a PC/Mac running iDP SOFT™ or PC-iP™software.

Follow the Software update procedure as described, or refer to the section of this manual describing iDP SOFT™.
