Tannoy Arundel loudspeakers

Time Compensated Dual Concentric Loudspeaker System

Superb stereo sound  has always been a feature of the Tannoy Dual Concentric Loudspeaker. Now the latest Time Compensated Dual Concentric System take another step closer to the real thing

The Dual Concentric drive unit in the Arundel combines our remarkable high frequency compression driver with a 380 mm (15") bass radiator, to provide one axis along which both high and low frequency sounds are generated

Our unique new Time Compensated crossover with adjustable high frequency response, now aligns these sources at one single point on the axis.

 

 

The result is elimination of time delay distortion, with stereo images precisely located in time and space.

The original proportions of the Arundel are a result of our new research to find the optimum internal volume for realistic bass response, with cabinet dimensions that provide real improvements nin sound quality.

The narrower front baffle reduces resonance by giving a more rigid mounting for the drive unit, while the deep cabinet reduces unwanted sound reflections from the rear of the loudspeaker.

The result is a cleaner, more accurate sound for your continued listening pleasure.

The elegant styling of the Arundel has been chosen to compliment both the loudspeaker and your home. Superbly finished, selected real walnut veneers are used on the outer surfaces of the cabinet, with a warm, hand-laid cork finish to the front baffle.

Completing the distinctive appearance of the Arundel is the three-piece detachable grille, covered in acoustically transparent Oatmeal cloth specially woven for Tannoy from fine Swiss yarn.
