From instrument amplifiers to guitar pick-ups, Alnico is revered across the music industry for its musicality and dynamics as well as its ability to resolve low level information and texture in the music. Tannoy has long used Alnico drivers in its range topping loudspeakers to best reproduce every note and intonation that the musician intended - a realism rarely achieved by ceramic ferrite motor systems.
AMPLIFIeR cHoIce Consult the product specification as this clearly shows the acceptable power range for amplifier matching to your speakers. The high peak power handling of Tannoy loudspeakers permits responsible use with more powerful amplifiers - please read the Warranty.
MAss LoADInG These loudspeakers are designed to be mass loaded, if wished, to lower the centre of gravity and improve stability, resulting in improved sound quality. To do so, remove the 4 screws securing the access plate to the bottom of the loudspeaker.
(Method illustrated on all terminal panel sketches) PosItIonInG AnD FIne-tUnInG To get best results from your new Tannoy Definition DC10A loudspeakers, it is worthwhile spending a little time finding the optimum set-up configuration. Begin by angling the speakers towards your chosen listening position, usually this is on the centre line of the room, so that when seated you can just see the inner side panel of each speaker.
PoRt BUnGs The Definition DC10A is designed to be operated normally without the foam port bungs in place. However if excessive or poorly controlled bass output results from non-optimal positioning or adverse room acoustics, either one or both bungs may be placed in the rear reflex ports, to damp low frequency output. GRILLes The front grille has been designed to provide acoustic transparency.
