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™.

ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS

Concept & Design Philosophy

The following is an introduction to the concept behind the iDP™ system. Detailed setup guides and explanations of all of the parameter functions can be found in later sections of this manual.

Precision iDP™ Monitors offer the following advantages over conventional monitors:-

System integration and networking (preset recall, central control) Flexibility/adjustment of processing parameters (to the room, personal preference etc.) Extreme precision. (Precise alignment of individual monitors at the factory) Improved audio quality (from intelligent algorithms, and precision custom filters) Direct Digital Reference (Digital Input)

Many of today’s productions are produced or end up in digital format, Precision iDP™ Monitors allow precise monitoring of digital signal, by simply feeding the monitor with an AES/EBU signal. If digital signal is not being used Analog inputs are also provided as standard.

Precision iDP™ monitors are an obvious choice for both stereo and surround setups in applications such as Music Recording/Mixing, Post production, Film, Broadcast, Video-editing etc.

Setting new standards for quality in reference monitoring, the Tannoy Precision iDP™ represents a new generation of active reference monitors featuring wide bandwidth technology. By linking the Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver with a Tannoy WideBand™ SuperTweeter™ in an active system, carrying on the consistent frequency response and dispersion up to and beyond 40kHz, a true wide bandwidth monitoring system has been created for use with contemporary high rate digital audio.

TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC

™

The legendary Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver offers true point-source constant directivity by effectively incorporating two drivers 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, the 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. Another 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.

The Precision iDP™ Dual Concentric™ drivers were developed using Klippell™ analysis equipment to minimise offsets and linearise the suspension components.

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.

ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS

Preliminary Recommendation

A word of warning on high sound levels - these speakers are capable of generating high output levels over sustained periods of time and such levels, over 95dB SPL for 8 hours per day, can eventually cause permanent hearing loss. Since Tannoy monitors have a natural-sounding flat frequency response and low distortion, it's possible not to be aware just how high the sound level is high while working with them.

For continuous exposure we recommend the occasional use of a sound level meter. This should be capable of integrating the sound level over a period of exposure according to noise control standards and used just to check that noise levels are always within safety limits. It is usually accepted that 80dB SPL is a safe level for continuous exposure.

Speaker Placement

Speaker placement, and the listening environment itself, can completely compromise the performance of any loudspeaker. It is important to understand some of the positional limitations of near-field speakers, and the operating environment, in order for you to gain maximum performance.

The construction of the Precision iDP™ incorporates magnetic shielding for the drive units. These monitors can therefore be used in close proximity to TV screens without any picture distortion. The greatest stray magnetic field is radiated from the front of the main driver, but it's unlikely you'd put your VDU right in front of the speaker. Side-by-side placement should be OK virtually touching, and, of course, modern non-CRT flat screens are unaffected by magnetic field.

Orientation

Where do you aim the speakers to give you the smoothest and most consistent sound?

How far apart do you place them to give you a good stereo image?

For a stereo set-up the basic rule is to arrange an equilateral triangle. The distance between the two monitors should be roughly the same as the distance between one monitor and your ears, this in the listening position where you are leaning forward on the console armrest.

This distance translates into a usual listening distance, for a near-field system, of around 1.3m (4'3") from each speaker, implying that the speakers will be around 1.3m (4'3") apart to create the normal equilateral arrangement applied in most stereo set-ups.

The speaker horizontal axis should be aimed at a point halfway between the two extremes of the listening positions (furthest forward and back) used when working. This is typically a range of about 600mm (24"). If possible, line up the vertical axis on a level with your ears referencing to the very centre of the Dual Concentric™ drive unit.

You can now confirm that you are on axis in both planes. First ensure that your head is in your normal listening position, look into the centre of the Dual Concentric™ high frequency unit wave guide, if you can see the gold colour of the HF driver dome in the centre of the WaveGuide™, then you are close to the ideal listening position. Also, having the monitors angled in towards the user minimises high frequency reflections from walls and outboard gear. Keeping close to this height, while moving around horizontally to access extremes of the desk and so on, will maintain a consistent frequency response; experienced as a wide "sweet spot" in which to work. For surround set-ups refer to specific ITU 775 or AES guidelines.

Master & Slave Concept

Two types of hardware exist for each Precision 6 iDP™ and Precision 8 iDP™ (with the exception of the subwoofer – Slave only).

Master – A Master unit is able to:

Receive digital audio on AES/EBU connections (two channels) Receive analog audio (two channels) Send and receive audio and control data via the proprietary TC LINK connection

Master Monitor

To Set a Master Monitor as the System Controller the TC LINK button on the rear panel must be left in the out position

Only one of the Master units must be setup as the System Controller. This is achieved by leaving out the TC LINK button on the rear panel. (See below). Setting up a system is carried out from the System Controller monitor (unless you have iDP SOFT™ or PC-iP™), this includes set-up, task setting and calibration of all connected monitors.

The Master unit distributes Audio and control data to the respective Slave units connected.

System Controller, Master or Slave

To set up a Master unit to be either System Controller or Master/Slave the LINK button on the rear panel must be set up correctly.

Out - The monitor operates as a System Controller In - The monitor operates as either a regular Master with digital or analog Inputs are or as a Slave unit.

Inputs & Outputs

The Master unit contains AES/EBU and Analog input connectors and three Link connectors carrying both audio and control data to connected Slave units.

Connectors

1 x AES/EBU – XLR 2 x Analog inputs 2 x Link RJ45 connectors 1 x Link/Input RJ45 connector 1 x Word clock BNC sync

Master Monitor Network Connections

Option slot

The analog input module can be removed and replaced with an AES Digital Input card giving the option of sending all six channels in a 5.1 setup to one single Master monitor. From there the signal is distributed to 4 slave monitors and Sub via the TC LINK RJ-45 connections creating a fully digital 5.1 setup. The AES Digital input card is also required for other digital surround setups (See the Setups section of this manual)

ACTIVE STUDIO MONITORS

Slave Monitor & Subwoofer

The slave unit is able to receive and distribute audio and control data via the proprietary TC LINK connection

The TS112 iDP™or TS212 iDP™subwoofer can be used in any iDP system.

Slave Monitor Network Connections

The Slave and Sub units contain one RJ45 Input connector and one Link connector. Via the RJ45 input connector the Slave unit is supplied with audio and control data from the Master unit. Audio signal from the source is fed to the master monitor only and the signal is distributed to the connected slave units through a proprietary networking protocol. A master monitor acts exactly the same as a Slave monitor when its TC Link button is set to the “IN” position, hence it is used for audio inputs only. The network system enables all connected monitors in a setup, whether in a stereo or surround format always to be corresponding. Control of the entire system is possible from one point on the network (Master or Slave), providing great flexibility in terms of control.

Initializing the Network

After connecting the units and powering up for the first time, the Master unit scans the setup in order to determine the number of monitors connected. Each monitor is recognized via a unique serial number but can be renamed according to task. After the initial scanning of the set-up, the Master unit will be re-scanning the setup every 5 seconds in order to determine any change.

Remote Control

Precision iDP™ monitor systems can be set up and controlled locally via the Master monitor’s user-interface with the optional remote control or from a PC/Mac. This is achieved by connecting the PC or remote to any free Link connector in the network. Control data is transmitted via the System Controller, and distributed to the other monitors in the network.

iDP SOFT™ - Software Remote

Parameters in the network including setup parameters can be controlled via iDP SOFT™ Additionally, any software upgrades which become available can be installed with this package.

Hardware Remote

This remote control allows access to three user defined Reference level settings, recall of up to four presets, mute/unmute and solo function for each monitor, and Master level adjustment.
