Crossover - Tannoy KINGDOM ROYAL Manual

CROSSOVER

The Kingdom Royal necessitated the
most sophisticated crossover Tannoy
has ever designed, splitting the low
frequency and high frequency sections
into individual assemblies, to avoid any
electrical interaction between the two.
The entire crossover is decoupled from
the cabinet base using an innovative
free-floating isolation system, with rubber
suspension turrets. Both upper and
lower HF and LF boards are hard-wired
(i.e. not a printed circuit board) using
silverloaded solder and six nines
copper (99.9999% pure
PCOCC TM
copper) cable.
After extensive testing 99.997% purity
single strand silver cable was chosen
for the SuperTweeter circuit for its
TM
exceptional top end transparency.
Tannoy's DMT (Differential Materials
TM
Technology) compound is used to seat
components, further improving
damping and resulting in greater
naturalness and pin point imaging.
Once assembled the entire crossover
undergoes full deep cryogenic
treatment to relive component and
conductor stresses at crystal level.
While cryogenic treatment is a costly
process for such a large assembly, the
resulting benefit in terms of musical
cohesion and smoothness make it an
essential part of the Kingdom Royal's
natural sound.
