The Precision 8D reference monitor from Tannoy is an active version of the Precision 8 range incorporate powerful digital amplification and advanced electronic processing that together take full advantage of the drivers' capabilities. The result is greater dynamic range and low-frequency extension, higher output levels, lower distortion and enhanced reliability.<BR><BR>The Precision 8D reference monitor addresses the needs of professional users in recording, broadcast and post-production. Designed using the latest techniques, including Klippell symmetry and nonlinear distortion analysis, laser scanning interferometry and advanced acoustic CAD simulation. The Precision range takes its place as the new reference monitoring standard for professional users.<BR><BR><strong>From the front: </strong><br> • 40mm MDF sculpted baffle stiff, heavy and rigid and minimizes diffraction.<br> • Recessed drive units flush with the baffle surface minimizes diffraction.<br> • 10 point fixing maximizes contact between drive unit and baffle.<br> • Drive unit development using Klippell analysis equipment to minimize offsets and linearise the suspension components.<br> • Cast chassis Tannoy Dual Concentric point source constant directivity driver. Effectively two drivers properly merged into one, with the HF mounted on the back of the LF unit so that both drivers are on the same axis, As a result sound energy is propagated from the same point and delivered through the center of the low frequency cone providing a true point source. This integrated approach provides a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum offering better transient performance and sound quality with better harmonic alignment than a displaced source monitor design. The crucial benefit at the mix position is the delivery of a more natural and cleaner sound with greatly enhanced intelligibility.<br> • A key benefit of the Dual design is a very wide 'sweet spot' with an exceptionally even response throughout the listening area and extraordinary transient response. This phase accurate Tannoy designed drive unit has, for all these reasons, been the choice of professional studio engineers for decades.<br> • Tannoy SuperTweeter extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 50kHz to correct the phase response from 8kHz to 20kHz within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image.<br> • Smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects.<BR><BR><strong>From the side: </strong><br> • 18mm MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimizes coloration.<br> • Internal construction braces the sides and rear of the cabinet against the rear of the bass driver to provide a rigid reactive mass for the moving cone assembly. Ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange.<br> • Front baffle and rear panel tongued and grooved into the cabinet as a mechanical i
