DUAL CONCENTRIC
TECHNOLOGY
TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC™ HAS ITS
ORIGINS IN MANY OF THE WORLD’S HIGH END
RECORDING STUDIOS.
Tannoy Dual Concentric has its origins in many of the world’s
high end recording studios. Introducing the latest generation
into our AMS DC models ensures that playback of recorded
material sounds exactly as the engineer intended, making
them perfect for entertainment and hospitality venues.
DUAL CONCENTRIC BENEFITS
Conventional Method
Discrete driver speaker systems cannot reproduce signals
accurately because their sources are displaced in space.
Conventional Method with Delay
Even when delays are applied to compensate for driver
alignment, signals can only be aligned along a narrow
listening plane on one axis.
Dual Concentric
In a Dual Concentric driver the signal sources are perfectly
aligned, resulting in a smooth response and a wide listening
area in both horizontal and vertical axes.

OMNIMAGNET™
DRIVER
This latest generation of Dual Concentric drivers used
in AMS has its genesis in many of the world’s high end
recording studios, where Tannoy’s benchmark technology
is still used to mix and master a rich collection of legendary
and contemporary classics. With wider directivity at high
frequencies and a 65% improvement in time domain
Ogive phase plug
Ogive refers to the mathematical
denition of the streamlined,‘rocket
cone’ shaped phase plug in the
waveguide assembly. This assists the
critical shortening in the propagation
path of the acoustic wavefront.
coherence, the new AMS loudspeakers ensure that
playback of recorded material sounds exactly as the
engineer intended when it was mixed in the studio, making
them perfect for indoor and outdoor entertainment venues
– in fact anywhere true sonic clarity and long term reliability
is essential.
Torus Ogive Waveguide™
Shallower waveguide with a
more aggressive are allows rapid
expansion of the acoustic
wavefront through the mouth
of the bass driver.
High frequency Torus dome
Torus refers to the donut shape
of the HF diaphragm. Within the
design, the HF ‘dome’ and the
precision engineered Torus Ogive
Waveguide are brought further
forward, providing wider high
frequency directivity.
Omnimagnet™ technology
High frequency and low frequency
drive units utilise a single shared
magnet, offering improved time
alignment and coherence. A
completely new interpretation of
Tannoy’s proprietary point source
drive unit design philosophy.
