Tannoy ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS owner manual Unpacking & Visual Checks, Tannoy WideBand SuperTweeter

TANNOY WideBand™ SuperTweeter™

The Tannoy SuperTweeter™ extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 51kHz 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. The smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects.

CABINET

The cabinet has a 40mm MDF sculpted front-baffle. It’s stiff, heavy and rigid design minimises diffraction. The recessed drive units are fitted flush with the baffle surface which also minimises diffraction. The 10 point fixing maximises contact between drive unit and baffle. Internally, robust bracing supports 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, which ensures a fast, tight bass response and clear midrange.

High efficiency compact Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)

For saving on power consumption and to insure optimal performance, disregarding the quality of mains voltage, the unit is equipped with a high efficiency compact Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS). Using switched technology both in amplifiers and power supply can reduce the heatsink size to about one third the size it would be with a regular power supply and class AB amplifiers.

Unpacking & Visual Checks

To remove the speakers from the carton without damage, open the box in the upright position and fold back the four flaps. Remove the top foam packaging and power cable then lift the unit out by gripping the cabinet, not the tweeter pod. Place the speaker on a stable surface and inspect for signs of transit damage - please note that nothing on, or in, your speakers should rattle. In the unlikely event of transit damage inform the carrier and supplier; keep all the damaged packaging, as this will show evidence of any careless handling.
