Manufacturer's Description for Tannoy Precision 6D Active Studio Monitor
Taking full advantage of significant advances in digital speaker measuring techniques such as Klippell symmetry and nonlinear distortion analysis, laser scanning interferometry, acoustic CAD simulation and cutting edge acoustic technologies, Tannoy engineers have developed 2 new active monitors. The new Precision D 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.
From the Front 40mm MDF sculpted baffle -- stiff, heavy and rigid and minimises diffraction
Recessed drive units flush with the baffle surface - minimises diffraction
10 point fixing maximises contact between drive unit and baffle
Drive unit development using Klippell analysis equipment to minimise offsets and linearise the suspension components
Cast chassis Tannoy Dual Concentric point source constant directivity driver
Smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects
Effectively 2 drivers properly merged into one, with the HF mounted on the back of the LF unit so that both drivers are on the same axis, As a result sound energy is propagated from the same point and delivered through the centre of the low frequency cone providing a true point source. This integrated approach provides a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum offering better transient performance and sound quality with better harmonic alignment than a displaced source monitor design. The crucial benefit at the mix position is the delivery of a more natural and cleaner sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility.
A key benefit of the Dual design is a very wide "sweet spot" with an exceptionally even response throughout the listening area and extraordinary transient response. This phase accurate Tannoy designed drive unit has, for all these reasons, been the choice of professional studio engineers for decades.
Tannoy SuperTweeter extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 50kHz 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.
From the Side 18mm MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration
Internal construction braces 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. Ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange
Front baffle and rear panel tongued and grooved into the cabinet as a mechanical interlock for safety if wall mounted
From the Rear Double insulated to prevent ground loops -- no safety earth required
CSA/CE/CCC/CB full safety approvals including China
Spare fuse in IEC mains connector
On/Off mains isolator switch
Substantial heat sinking for long term cool running and 24/7 reliability
XLR and 1/4 in. jack Combi connector for balanced input
Switch adjacent to XLR selects digital or analogue input
RCA input for SPDIF with 75 Ohm terminating impedance
2nd RCA for SPDIF output for slaving a stereo pair
Yellow LED indicator lights up when digital lock is achieved
3-way switch selects which channel of the SPDIF stream is decoded, marked Left/Right/Mono. Switching is post 2 channel DAC
Trim/Gain control over +6dB/-12dB range reference 0dBV (0.775V) input for full rated output
Trim/Gain control works on SPDIF input post DAC
Switch selection of 12dB/8ve 80Hz hi-pass filter for use with AV subwoofers
First bank of 10 DIP switches controls LF alignment, mid/near/close field and half/quarter/eighth space compensation
Second bank of DIP switches controls mid band and HF shelving trim
Note that the DIP switch flat setting is shown on the back panel artwork
Small hole to the right of the right hand switch bank allows the factory set HF trim on test to be fine trimmed by a service agent if a tweeter needs to be replaced
