Active Assist™ Introduction Tannoy Activ-Assist™ software has been designed by Tannoy to assist users of Reveal and Precision active monitors in setting the DIP switch equalisation features on the amplifier. These adjustments account for mid, near and close field monitoring distances and varying air loading on the bass driver caused by operating in half, quarter and eighth space environments (sometimes referred to as ‘Baffle Step’ effect). Typically, these environments could be against a wall or on a table or large support surface such as the meter bridge of a console (half space), in a corner (quarter space) or a worst-case situation such as mounted in a corner on a shelf or table or in a typical outside broadcast mobile vehicle (eighth space). The software requires a typical Windows or MAC notebook, laptop or desktop computer with a standard sound card input / output facility. Activ-Assist™ is available as a free download,

TS112 iDP Introduction Two exceptionally powerful active subwoofers have been designed to complement the monitors. Both are substantially constructed, acoustically inert, infinite baffle cabinets in which exceptionally high power handling and long throw drive units really do deliver tightly controlled bass with massive impact.

iDP Software™ Introduction Although possible to configure a full system via the display panel on the front of the speakers, it is recommended, and much easier, to hook up a PC or MAC to the system via the supplied interface cable and utilise the supplied Tannoy iDP Soft configuration software as a day to day tool. Using the supplied PC-iP™ installer software each speaker is assigned a task so that the network recognises where each monitor is placed in the system. In order to initially optimise the monitors for a specific room, any good quality real time analyser (RTA) can be used to measure each of the speakers. Acoustic tuning via a comprehensive array of EQ parameters and alignment facilities can then be applied in order to recalibrate each monitor to achieve a flat response within the listening room.

Ellipse 8 iDP Introduction These monitors are a fully time-coherent, 3-way, active system, utilising Tannoy Dual Concentric™ driver technology plus a separately housed SuperTweeter™. The range comprises two models, the Ellipse 8 200mm (8.00”) and Ellipse 10 250mm (10.00”), offering a choice of power handling and low frequency performance, allowing optimisation for different working environments.

Reveal 5A Introduction The Reveal 5A active near field monitor builds upon the success and recording industry reputation of the famous original Tannoy Reveal Active. When launched in the mid nineties, the Reveal Active was widely recognised as the product that defined the category and has been the active monitor of choice for thousands of amateur and professional recording, creative composition and postproduction facilities worldwide.
