Tannoy V8 Technical Specifications

V8
Product Description
V8 is a high quality installation loudspeaker that provides a compact, yet punchy, solution for
high performance music and speech reproduction in small to medium sized venues. This
versatile design also has, due to acoustic matching to other V Series models, a wide range
of other applications in more space-restricted areas within larger installations.
The high power handling 200mm (8.00") version of Tannoy's exclusive point source, constant
directivity Dual Concentric™ drive unit technology, with it's reinforced paper cone LF, twin roll
cambric surround and 25mm (1.00") titanium domed, neodymium magnet system HF,
ensures high power output with high sensitivity. With the HF mounted in the throat of the LF
driver these two sources are coincidentally aligned into a single point source. This is a
configuration, exclusive to the Dual, delivers a smooth and uniform frequency response over
a wide area. The CAD designed Tulip WaveGuide™ for the HF unit combines 90 degree
conical dispersion, for optimum coverage, exceptional forward gain and excellent acoustic
impedance characteristics. The dispersion characteristics of the Dual enhance speaker
placement flexibility; allowing vertical or horizontal mounting of single or multi-cabinet arrays
without any compromise to sound quality.
This conical coverage pattern makes the V8 an ideal low profile stage monitor; the
exceptionally wide dispersion allowing the performer greater freedom of movement than
allowed by conventional horn loaded designs. An inherent feature of this point source Dual
Concentric™ driver design is that clusters and arrays have minimal lobing, and this is
achieved without the use of any electronic signal processing.
The convenient aspect ratio of the asymmetric design of the multi layer birch ply cabinet
allows installation in a wide range of configurations. Available in black or white, the V8 has a
range of colour matched Secure-ET™ hardware options to allow yoke, wall mount, ceiling
saddle or cluster bar arrangements of 2, 3 or 4 units. Although designed to perform without
any external controller, the addition of one of the Tannoy digital system controllers will further
enhance performance by equalising the system to improve bass performance; this as well as
providing a 2-way crossover function to facilitate use with a separate subwoofer system.
