technology inspired design

Behind the elegant and precision crafted form of the Arena

satellite speakers lies cutting edge audio technology. Tannoy’s

acclaimed Dual Concentric™ driver design is further enhanced in

the Arena with WideBand™ technology. Combining a rigid

titanium dome and neodymium magnet the WideBand™ tweeters

deliver pin-point imaging and smooth high-frequency extension

to over 50kHz.

Ideal for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD audio formats on Blu-ray

and HD DVD discs, the extended bandwidth provides a superbly

focused soundstage and wide dynamic imaging of special effects

to fully immerse you in the movie or music experience.

The Arena satellites are accurately timbre-matched allowing

action to pan seamlessly around the room, while the dedicated

centre channel speaker is enhanced with a supplementary bass

driver giving outstanding tonal depth and clarity to dialogue.

Each Arena shell is constructed fromheavyweight alloy to inhibit

cabinet derived colouration and the curved shape reduces internal

standing waves to almost zero. This celebrated driver and cabinet

technology has seen the Arenasystem gain considerable international

acclaim, winning Best Buy awards and five-star reviews consistently

for over three years.

With just the essential ingredients, Arena Lite makes this award

winning combination more affordable to own than ever.

“As if to mirror the precision buildandfastidiousattention

to cosmetic detail, the sound is polished, articulate and

staggeringly detailed.”
