Tannoy Dover loudspeakers

Dual Concentric Time Compensated Loudspeaker System

The famous Tannoy Dual Concentric in a modestly sized cabinet that can be floor standing on its own plinth, mounted on speaker stands or a bookshelf.

A 10-inch (254 mm) version of the Dual Concentric drive unit is used in an infinite baffle (unported) cabinet, with rigid bracing and graded acoustic foam damping, to give the best possible sound reproduction in a loudspeaker of this size.

Each Dover is supplied with a separate plinth. If used as a floor standing loudspeaker this plinth can be attached to the base of the cabinet with the screws provided. When used on stands or shelves this plinth is not required.

The Dover is designed to provide the high quality sound of the Tannoy Dual Concentric system in a size of loudspeaker to suit smaller listening rooms.

The high quality of sound reproduction is matched by the standard of cabinet construction. Every Dover is finished in genuine walnut veneers, oiled by hand and the baffle is covered in real cork.

 


The Tannoy Dual Concentric is, therefore, a true single point sound source loudspeaker system which eliminates unnatural time delay, and provides the smooth consistent intensity of sound necessary to create a precise stereo image.
