Features

Tannoy’s TS range of active subwoofers, designed for studio monitoring and playback of multi channel recordings, offer incredibly compact designs without compromising their powerful and punchy dynamic bass performance.

An exceptionally sturdy and rigid cabinet is the basis of each of the three models, ensuring a extraordinary control of the drive unit and minimising unwanted cabinet resonance. Each utilises a substantially built, down-firing drive unit with an oversized magnet system. The massive roll surround allows substantial cone excursion providing the necessary air movement to ensure very extended low frequency output; 26Hz (-6dB) in the case of the TS12 with usable output down as low as 15Hz.

Occupying less than a cubic foot of space including the cone-shaped spiked feet, the TS8 is ideally suited to small home studios, while the TS10 and 12 have the performance to deliver in professional postproduction and mastering facilities.

BASH® amplifier technology is utilised in these subwoofers; a patented high efficiency power amplifier circuit topology that has taken the best of Class D and Class AB and created a new Class of its own. The digital power amplifier with its patented switch mode power supply delivers exceptional performance and excellent bandwidth with long-term reliability. Very high-power amplifiers are fitted (200 / 300 and 500 Watts RMS to the TS 8 / TS10 and TS12 respectively) ensuring there is ample power to reproduce dynamic movie scores.

Achieving the optimum settings is easy; low frequency extension can be varied from around 60Hz down to the unit’s lowest operating frequency via a control on the rear panel to allow the subwoofer to be adjusted to match the relative frequency in relation to the main monitor system. Versatile connectivity is offered through a selection of input and output sockets; stereo line level inputs can either utilise or bypass the system’s internal crossover circuitry. XLR sockets are provided for direct connection to the mixing desk and output to active main speakers. The output can be selected as either a direct feed or switched to provide an 80Hz HIPASS function.

Other features include an auto power on and sleep function whereby the system will go into a ‘stand-by’ mode if no signal is detected for approximately 12 minutes. Soft-clip limiting is incorporated to limit the maximum sound output in order to eliminate audible distortion. Gain and phase controls are provided to allow easy adjustment for output level and precise matching with the room and the rest of the system.

The Tannoy TS range of subwoofers deliver a tightly controlled performance to faithfully reproduce the impact, punch and drive of the mix track.
