Tannoy's Precision 8D models incorporate the company's Dual Concentric™ driver and WideBand™ Technology, delivering a new standard for near-field reference monitoring.

Precision 8D Active provides superior bandwidth, low distortion, smooth response, accurate phase control, high sensitivity levels and input source flexibility. A calibrated EQ facility for mid/near/close-field monitoring, MF and HF trim shelving controls, and analog and digital input trim facilities allow setting user requirements for all listening environments. The Precision 8D monitors are priced at $1,029 each.

In related news, Tannoy showed its new Reveal 5A active studio monitor, which provides tight, punchy and controlled bass response with a clean and open midrange for excellent vocal intelligibility. A new soft-dome HF unit extends response to beyond 30 kHz, ensuring increased tonal accuracy of individual instruments.

Retailing at $399 each, the Reveal 5A provides greater bandwidth, significantly lower distortion, smoother responses, more accurate phase control and higher sensitivity levels in a smaller package.
