Beauty is not just skin deep.

Arena HighLine is not just another home
theatre speaker - it's a Tannoy - clearly
not just another speaker company. Our
loudspeaker engineering skills are
legendary. Tannoy studio monitors, used
throughout the professional recording
world, have played a leading role in the
audio production of many blockbuster
movies.

Tannoy never cuts corners when it comes
to loudspeaker design …carefully and
painstakingly rounded off …but never
cut. HighLine 300 is lavishly finished in
silky smooth matt silver or black to
beautifully enhance any contemporary
surroundings.

The picture's amazing …and that's even
before the film starts!

Arena HighLine - a speaker design
tempting enough to make you forget to
switch the screen on.

“YOU ARE TRYING TO SEDUCE ME, AREN’T YOU?”

THE GRADUATE (1967)

Here's looking at you kid.

When it comes to setting up a home
theatre, obviously a great picture is
essential. But to achieve the full scale
and impact of the movie experience, the
soundtrack should get equal billing.

Tannoy HighLine completes the picture
with the best sound ever.

“THIS IS OUR MOMENT TO SHINE,

A multi driver array comprising two 75mm
(3”) midrange units, two 75mm (3”) bass
units and one 19mm (0.75”) ultra high
frequency SuperTweeter™ is used in the
elegantly slim and compact HighLine
300 series.

Using exactly the same driver
complement in each of the loudspeakers
within the full system ensures a synergy
of sound which is a crucial element for
the very best home theatre experience.

Extending the bandwidth of the
loudspeakers by using a SuperTweeter
ensures enhanced intelligibility by
providing a more focussed sound stage
through superior spatial imaging. Vocals
and instruments are clearly more
separate and distinct and percussive
sounds have more reality and impact.

TO SHOW THEM WHAT WE'RE MADE OF.”

Weight …there's something

else… In order to provide

stability to the tall and slender

cabinet the floor standing

versions are provided with a

substantially weighted platform.

Offering the speakers a firm footing

by lowering the centre of gravity

provides additional acoustic benefits

through enhanced floor coupling and

subsequent stabilising of the audio image.

Mounting the high frequency unit
centrally between two midrange drivers
creates a larger radiating area and
controls tweeter dispersion off axis.
Technically known as a D'Appolito driver
configuration, this system provides a
greater uniform coverage area of the
sound. This means that the whole family
gets an equal share of the full home
theatre experience and not just the
person sat in the middle of the sofa!

For maximum acoustic integrity of the
drive units the already robust cabinet is
further internally braced at strategic
points throughout its length to ensure
perfect reproduction. So even if the
postman rings twice …you'll hear exactly
what you're meant to.
