26. a Tannoy WideBand SuperTweeter in an active system carrying on the consistent frequency response and dispersion up to and beyond 40kHz a true wide bandwidth monitoring system has been created for use with contemporary high rate digital audio TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC The legendary Tannoy Dual Concentric driver offers true point source constant directivity by effectively incorporating two drivers into one with the HF mounted on the back of the LF unit so that both drivers are on the same axis As a result the sound energy is propagated from the same point and delivered through the centre of the low frequency cone providing a true point source This integrated approach provides a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum offering better transient performance and sound quality with better harmonic alignment than a displaced source monitor design The crucial benefit at the mix position is the delivery of a more natural and cleaner sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility Another key benefit of the Dual design is a very wide sweet spot with an exceptionally even response throughout the listening area and extraordinary transient response This phase accurate Tannoy designed drive unit has for all these reasons been the choice of professional studio engineers for decades The Precision iDP Dual Concentric drivers were developed using Klippell analysis equipment to minimise offsets and linearise the suspension components
