Tannoy Loudspeaker Specs

- This document provides specifications for two high-power loudspeaker models capable of 10-300W and 10-500W respectively. - Both have a nominal impedance of 8 ohms and a frequency response ranging from 40Hz to 20kHz within a tolerance. - A bi-amping configuration using a crossover unit like the XO5000 can provide sophisticated control over the amplifier output signals to optimize performance when using separate amplifiers for high and low frequencies. - The XO5000 also includes parametric equalization and adjustable time delay to compensate for phase issues due to speaker placement.

A professional studio Monitor from'Iannoy using the renowned I5" (380mm) Dual Concentric drive unit,
which combines a new LF cone and an HF compression driver in one unit, in a re-inforced, damped
enclosure. This unique Tannoy construction with its single point sound source provides excellent Phase
cohercnce for proper stereo imaging. The polr'cr handling is remarkably high (500 watts peak) with
exccllent sensitivity (94dB for I watt at I metle).
+ The Super Red has bccn dcsigned to opcratc in an active system with the Tannoy X05000, an electronic
dividing network and parametric equaliser with time delav and plug-in module carrying passive crossover
The Specification
MAXIMUM OUTPUT POWER 120 watts (31 volts R.M,S.) produces 114dB sound pressure level
(re: 2 x 10-5 N/m2) at a distance of 1 metre under anechoic conditions (4" steradians) over the frequencl'
range 50Hz - 20kHz measured in octave bands. Peak SPL = 121dB at 500 watts peak input.

1 pair of loudspeakers each fed with 60 watts (22 volts R.M.S.) - half power input - pink noise band limited
to 50Hz - 20kHz produce 11OdB* (re: 2 x 10-5 N/m2) at a distance of 3 metres in a control room measuring
7m x 9m x 2.3m and having a reverberation time of 0.35 + 0.1 seconds over the band 100H2 - 10kHz.

*WARNING Continuous sound levels of over 100d8 carr cause permanent hearing damage. Maximum recommended exposure
. time, for example at 1 15dB is not longer than 15 minutes.
