Its 25 cm (9.85?) Dual Concentric driver is accompanied by a dual front-firing bass-reflex port and covers frequencies from 40 Hz to 30 kHz (+/- 3 dB), with a sensitivity of 89 dB per Watt (at a distance of 1 m). With a height of only 53 cm (21?), it is designed for placement on a low stand. Of the three speakers, the Tannoy Legacy Eaton is the smallest. The Tannoy Dual Concentric driver integrated into the Tannoy Legacy speakers. The tweeter is a 3.3 cm (1.3?) dome composed of an aluminum and magnesium alloy and accompanied by a Tannoy Tulip waveguide. This driver has the particularity of integrating a central tweeter which uses the cone to mechanically amplify the mids, which it produces in addition to the highs. The unique characteristic shared by the Tannoy Legacy Eaton, Tannoy Legacy Cheviot and Tannoy Legacy Arden is their Dual Concentric coaxial driver.

Tannoy Legacy speakers: Dual Concentric drivers Each Tannoy Legacy speaker allows the user to adjust the sensitivity and filter of the tweeter. A bit of listening fatigue? In a flash, you can tone down the tweeter and deepen the exploration of the mids. This is quite a fantastic feature, as the listener can adapt the speaker?s sound very easily. The tweeter?s cutoff frequency can be changed in the same way in order to reinforce or tone down the mids, to which our ears are particularly sensitive (frequencies between about 1 and 3 kHz). As a reminder, 3 dB represents a doubling of the sound level. To this end, the user simply has to move a metallic pin to the desired level: +3 dB, + 1.5 dB, 0 dB (default level), -1.5 dB and -3 dB. There?s no need to disassemble the speaker and take out a soldering iron: a specific set of terminals found on the speaker?s front panel allows the user to adjust the sensitivity of the tweeter as well as the cutoff frequency of its low-pass filter. If we?re mentioning the Tannoy?s very expensive Prestige range, it?s because the three new Tannoy Legacy speakers inherit a large number of its components, despite their less hefty price tag.įor example, the Tannoy Legacy speakers are equipped with an adjustable passive filter. While the Tannoy Eclipse compact speakers are conventional 2-way models fitted with small drivers, the large Tannoy Prestige Kingdom Royal is a technically and esthetically prodigious speaker capable of filling a ballroom with exceptional sound thanks to its enormous 38 cm (15?) drivers and 120 kg (265 lbs). This wide price range is justified by the technologies implemented, which are different for the Tannoy Eclipse and the Tannoy Prestige Kingdom Royal speakers, for example. For the past 90 years, it has been building its expertise with a variety of speaker ranges, available for anywhere from 200 ? to 70,000?. Tannoy is one of the most eclectic manufacturers of acoustic speakers. Tannoy Legacy speakers: adjustable tonal balance The Tannoy Legacy Eaton, Tannoy Legacy Cheviot and Tannoy Legacy Arden speakers benefit from time-tested acoustic technologies, renewed with the latest generation of materials and electronic components. Forty years after its launch, Tannoy is revamping its famous Tannoy Legacy range.
