Tannoy GOLD 7 6.5-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Each)
Countless hit records and blockbuster film scores have been recorded and mixed on Tannoy studio monitors. Ninety years (and counting), Tannoy’s vaunted legacy lives on in the next-generation Tannoy GOLD 7 6.5-inch Powered Studio Monitor (Each). Engineered to the highest standards and build quality to provide the most accurate, uncolored representation of your audio as possible, Tannoy GOLD nearfield reference monitors meet the demanding needs of music recording, broadcast, and post-production professionals who require absolute truth in monitoring. Whether you’re a long-time Tannoy devotee or just stepping up to the legendary Dual Concentric point-source driver, the Tannoy GOLD 7 represents a major step forward in monitoring accuracy.
Unerring accuracy
Over Tannoy’s 90-plus years of British audio innovation, the company’s unflinching engineering values and commitment to perfection have continued to advance the state of the art in reference monitoring. Constant refinement of their renowned Dual Concentric driver, advanced Klippel analysis, and other core technologies ensure that every new product launches another historic chapter. The GOLD 7’s drivers and amplifiers are constructed as one integrated design. The result is low listening fatigue, rock-solid imaging, and unerring accuracy you can count on session after session and project after project.
Precision obsession
The highest quality studio monitors begin with the highest quality drivers — which is why Tannoy designs and manufactures their own drivers. On the subject of crossover points, Tannoy has long adhered to a strict, less-is-more philosophy, as minimizing the number of crossover points reduces potential phase anomalies and creates a more natural-sounding and accurate speaker system. Dual Concentric monitors are, by definition, two-way designs with only one crossover point. Not only is phase coherence maximized: the system operates as a single point source for pinpoint imaging and a wide, seamless sweet spot.
Tannoy’s Iconic Dual Concentric driver
At the core of the GOLD 7’s outstanding performance is an all-new generation of Tannoy’s proprietary Dual Concentric driver technology. With seven decades of continual refinement behind it, the Dual Concentric driver provides a near-perfect point source that preserves the tonal character and harmonic integrity of program material as no discrete-driver system can. On first listen, the benefits will be immediately manifest: flat response, controlled dispersion, and a generous sweet spot in both horizontal and vertical planes. Whether you’re mixing music, dialog, or sound effects, you can rely on the GOLD 7 to provide exemplary low-frequency extension, high output, and robust reliability.
Point source Tulip Waveguide
In nature, sounds emanate from a single point. By centrally locating the high-frequency driver of the Dual Concentric configuration, the GOLD 7 acoustically replicates a single-point sound source, delivering amazingly natural performance with an impressively broad imaging sweet spot. Symmetrical dispersion is enabled by the Tannoy’s innovative point-source Tulip Waveguide, which provides a spacious soundstage with remarkably accurate and focused stereo imaging.
Optimized Class AB bi-amplification
With decades of experience in designing professional sound systems for recording and broadcast studios and venues of all sizes, We understands that under-powering is never an option. Which is why the Tannoy 7 is bi-amplified with 300 watts of onboard Class AB power. Why Class AB? While Class A amplifiers sound sweet at low levels, they run hot and are tremendously inefficient at higher volumes. Class B amps are much more efficient, but they tend to add distortion to your signal. Class AB amplification combines the linear performance of Class A with the higher operational efficiencies of Class B, while sidestepping the deficiencies of both. It’s the best of both worlds.
Smart, flexible connectivity
Whatever your studio setup, the Tannoy GOLD 7 integrates seamlessly. It simultaneously accepts two audio inputs via its continuously active XLR and TRS inputs. It also lets you assign Left or Right when connected to a 3.5mm TRS plug. Dedicated input trim, bass, and treble controls let you optimize the GOLD 7 to accommodate your interface and room acoustics. The GOLD 7 is equipped with intelligent signal sensing circuitry that automatically enters a power-saving, environmentally friendly standby mode when the system is not in use.
