DRIVER TECHNOLOGY

Dual Concentric

Tannoy Dual Concentric™ drivers have been incorporated into the Arena system. Intensive research and development has produced an
all-new version of this proven technology that builds upon the legendary performance of this exclusive Tannoy driver design.

The time coherent, point source and constant directivity nature of the dispersion characteristics inherent in the Dual makes it an accepted
industry standard in studio monitoring. By exceeding the rigorous demands of the reording and mastering environment Tannoy can ensure
that playback performance in the home for multi channel home cinema, is strictly controlled to accurately reect the sound engineers artistry.
In nature all sounds emanate from a single point in space. The high frequency unit of the Dual, centrally mounted in the throat of the main

mid/bass driver, is so positioned as to acoustically replicate this single point source; delivering an incredibly natural sound with an incredibly
wide imaging ‘sweet spot’ that creates an expansive soundstage with remarkably focused placement of images.

WIDEBAND

Tannoy has incorporated its own WideBand
resolve ne detail of high frequency information but it also eectively enhances the listening experience throughout the whole frequency
range. The WideBand
and true to life.

Sounds contain transient information and rich harmonics beyond the range of human hearing for pure tones. Even low frequencies have leading
edge transients reaching high frequency unit will accurately reproduce the leading edge of individual sounds allowing the listener to experience
the entire 30kHz. The Tannoy Arena WideBand

In addition, the extension of the frequency response, by fully two octaves, corrects time and phase response within the bandwidth of normal human
hearing. Taking these acoustical phase anomalies beyond the audible range adds realism to the soundstage through improvements in
imaging and the placement of sounds.

™ high frequency system creates an increased immediacy, airiness and impact, making music and movie sound more natural

™ technology into the design of these drivers. Not only does this exceptional in-house technology
