Tannoy Reveal 5A

Tannoy Reveal 5A

Tannoy Reveal 5A Description:

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.

Whether you're building a studio on a budget, or you just need an active monitor with a small footprint, the Reveal 5A is your choice.

Built to the same high standard as the rest of the Reveal line, the R5A packs performance, accuracy and value into a compact enclosure that's ready to share the desktop with the rest of your gear.

Priced right for the beginner, the R5A delivers WideBand™ performance that will impress even the most seasoned pro.

Tannoy Reveal 5A Features:

• From the front: The 40mm MDF baffle is stiff, heavy and rigid, with the drive units are recessed flush to the sculpted surface to minimise diffraction, while 10 countersunk fixing screws maximise contact between drive unit and baffle.
• Bass unit development using Klippell™ analysis equipment has minimised offsets and linearised the suspension components.
• The wide bandwidth tweeter extends the amplitude response beyond the 20kHz audibility threshold to 30kHz to correct the phase response from 8kHz to 14kHz within the audible band.
• This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image
• The smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects.
• An On/Mute (energy saving mode) switch is activated by pressing the Tannoy logo and an LED indicator displays the Active/Energy Saving modes.
• A front mounted volume control is provided for convenient Home Studio and PC/MAC laptop/desktop use.
• From the sides: The 18mm MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration, while internal bracing of the sides and rear against the back of the bass driver provides a rigid reactive mass for the moving cone assembly; this ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange.
• The front baffle and rear panel are tongued and grooved into the cabinet as a mechanical interlock for safety if wall mounted.
• From the rear: The amplifier module is double insulated to prevent ground loops, no safety earth required, and CSA/CE/CCC/CB full safety approvals, including China, have been secured.
• There is a spare fuse in IEC mains connector as well as an On/Off mains isolator switch, substantial heat sinking for long term cool running and 24/7 reliability and an XLR and 1/4" jack Combi connector for balanced input.

Drive Units

• With the Reveal 5A, the cabinet is now smaller and has been further braced and refined to provide the most rigid platform possible for the new driver design.
• Securely attached to the solid baffle, with no less than 10 hex socket countersunk-head screws, the all-new 130mm (5.00") bass driver performs with significantly reduced distortion.
• Magnetic circuit flux control rings and extensive Klippell™ based symmetry analysis has made performance improvement possible, with the new driver providing tight, punchy and controlled bass response with a clean and open mid range for superb vocal intelligibility.
• Open and detailed reproduction of mid-high frequencies is further enhanced by inclusion of a 25mm (1.00") soft dome high frequency unit, a WideBand™ driver taking the frequency response out to 30kHz to improve and extend the high frequency phase response.
• This ensures increased tonal accuracy of individual instruments in the reproduction process - a mix critical factor allowing the best EQ and placement decisions to be made.
