The Tannoy Dual
Concentric principle has long been recognised as one of the great technological
breakthroughs in loudspeaker design,
Leading musicians
use Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeakers in their live performances and many recording and broadcast studios rely
on the Tannoy Dual Concentric to monitor the quality of their output. This same
"monitor" standard of sound reproduction is available to yoy in the
Surrey Series of Time Compensated Dual Concentric Loudspeakers from Tannoy.
Look behind the
grille of any Surrey Series loudspeaker and you will see what appears to be a
single drive unit. This is in fact the "2-speakers-in-One" Dual
Concentric drive unit.
Operating through
the centre of the bass cone, and sharing the same chassis frame, is a
compression high frequency driver. These two separate drive units provide a
single axis for the production of sound at all frequencies. The audio signal is
supplied to each drive unit by a time
compensated crossover, that aligns both high and low frequency sound sources towards a single
point on that axis.
Each
Tannoy Surrey Series loudspeakers is, therefore, a virtual Sound source. This
is widely accepted as the "ideal" loudspeaker type, as all
Frequencies that make up the sound you hear will originate from the same point
in Space and thus maintain their correct time relationships. The music is
clearer and More natural, because the real harmonics and dynamics of
instruments and voices remain , while your sound image of the original
performance is sharper and more convincing.
If everybody
listened to music with an average audio system in an average sized room, then
we would make just one type of Dual Concentric loudspeaker. Your System and
listening environment, however, are as individual as you; so Tannoy Offers you
the choice of five Dual Concentric loudspeakers in the Surrey Series
You can choose from
the compact Esher, which uses the smallest ever Tannoy Dual Concentric with an
8" bass cone; or two larger shelf or stand Models, the Darking and the
Chartsey. Should you have the space for larger free-Standing loudspeakers, then
the top-of-the-range Bradley and Albury models will Give you really outstanding
performance. There is a loudspeaker in the Tannoy
Surrey Series that
will match your system and enable you to enjoy all the sound Advantages of the
