Tannoy Reveal 601p Specifications Sheet

Reveal 601p

Product Description

The original Tannoy Reveal near field monitor has become an iconic fixture in recording
studios across the world since first appeared in the mid nineties, widely recognised as the
benchmark reference product that defined the category and has been the monitor of choice
for thousands of amateur and professional recording, creative composition and postproduction
facilities worldwide. Building upon this world-class reputation, the all new Tannoy Reveal
series represents the latest evolution of Tannoy’s high resolution passive reference
monitor technology.

Whether you’re looking to equip your studio with an industry standard reference monitor
without the excessive price tag, or you need a passive monitor with a small footprint to
integrate into your existing amplified system, the Reveal 601p offers the perfect solution.
Built to the same superior standard as the active versions of the new Reveal range, the
Reveal 601p packs performance, accuracy and value into a compact enclosure. Priced
competitively with the serious home or project studio setup in mind, the all new Reveal
601p delivers a wide bandwidth performance that will impress even the most seasoned pro.

The low distortion 6” LF/MF driver voicing has been enhanced to deliver a natural and
accurate ultra-linear response in the low and midrange frequencies, while the wide bandwidth
tweeter extends the amplitude response beyond the 20kHz audibility threshold to 30kHz to
improve the phase response within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure
of sounds and the stability of the stereo image, ensuring stunningly accurate mix translation.
Response has been optimised for quarter space near field operation, such as on a meter
bridge or on a table either side of your control surface, while HF trim control allows fine tuning.
The rigid MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration, while internal
bracing of the sides and rear against the back of the bass driver provides a rigid reactive mass
for the moving cone assembly; this ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange.
The curved edged design of the front baffle helps eliminate diffraction, while the front-firing
bass port avoids the problem of exaggerated bass response as a result of boundary-coupling
– a pitfall inherent with rear-firing designs when positioned close to a wall. The new elliptical
tweeter waveguide has also been optimised to control high frequency directivity and minimise
diffraction, ensuring a wide and even sweet spot.

Both balanced XLR and unbalanced TRS jack inputs complete the versatile package,
ensuring the Tannoy Reveal 601p is easily integrated into any home or project studio with
the minimum of fuss.

Behind the Badge

Few if any manufacturers have the reputation and track
record of Tannoy in the professional studio monitor market.
Right from the emergence of the studio monitor itself as a
product in the early 1940’s through the British invasion of
the ‘60’s and every genre of music since then, Tannoy has
been helping track, mix and master the hits. You don’t
dominate a segment for over 60 years by cutting corners.

You do it by staying true to your values; and letting others
chase the latest fad or cheapest option. Considering the
crucial role that monitors play in the production of audio
programming we believe that this is one place in your
signal chain where compromise is simply unacceptable.
