THE RANGE
With the introduction of Sensys, Tannoy has combined the core element of sound quality with other equally essential ingredients, cutting edge technology, clean aesthetic design and affordability, to produce a class leading range of exceptional loudspeakers. Avoiding visual tricks that often cause designs to quickly date, the refreshingly uncluttered appearance of Sensys is as reassuringly unpretentious as it is timeless. This enduring aesthetic appeal, together with the host of technological features incorporated to benefit the acoustic performance, ensures that the Sensys range offers stereo and multi channel A/V system solutions that will provide complete audio satisfaction for years to come.
TANNOY WIDE BAND TM TECHNOLOGY
This question, often asked, takes us to the very heart of what Tannoy Wide Band TM technology is all about:
Musical instruments produce considerable energy above 20kHz and, with effects of harmonics and overtones, achieve frequencies well beyond what might generally be considered as the limit of human hearing. For instance, the over 20kHz energy of a trumpet, fitted with a particular type of mute, does not drop into the noise floor until 100kHz. Violin and oboe exhibit energy above 40kHz, while sibilants in speech can also be shown to have energy above 40kHz.
Research has shown, through the measurement brain wave activity, that humans do perceive ultrasonic components within music. Concluding that the mechanism of ultrasound transmission is through bone conduction, probably via an organ in the inner ear, called the saccule, to the cochlea, the organ responsible for hearing.
In addition, Wide Band TM technology reduces phase error and significantly improves transient performance below 20kHz. This leads to increased tonal accuracy throughout the whole frequency range, even bass information is faster and tighter, effectively enhancing the total listening experience. Music, speech and soundtrack effects have an increased immediacy, airiness and impact, providing a performance that sounds more natural and true to life.
Extreme physical demands are placed on the high frequency unit when performing at such extended bandwidth levels. The need to achieve completely consistent constructional and acoustic quality has led Tannoy to design and produce its own titanium dome driver at its Scottish based manufacturing facility.
