The new Tannoy Reveal 5A active near field monitor builds upon the success and recording industry reputation of the famous original Tannoy Reveal Active. When launched in the mid nineties, the Reveal Active was widely recognised as the product that defined the category and has been the active monitor of choice for thousands of amateur and professional recording, creative composition and postproduction facilities worldwide.
The original Reveal Active model was well renowned for its rigid cabinet and substantial baffle. With the new Reveal 5A, the cabinet is now smaller and has been further braced and refined to provide the most rigid platform possible for the new driver design. Securely attached to the solid baffle, with no less than 10 hex socket countersunk-head screws, the all-new bass driver performs with significantly reduced distortion. Extensive Klippell™ based symmetry analysis has made performance improvement possible, with the new driver providing tight, punchy and controlled bass response with a clean and open mid range for superb vocal intelligibility. A new soft dome HF unit with a powerful neodymium magnet extends high frequency to beyond 30kHz ensuring increased tonal accuracy of individual instruments in the reproduction process allowing improved EQ and placement decisions to be made.
Significant advances in digital speaker measuring techniques such as Klippell™ symmetry and non linear distortion analysis, laser scanning interferometry, acoustic CAD simulation, and precision manufacturing processes have all resulted in a comprehensively improved Reveal monitor. The new Reveal 5A provides greater bandwidth, significantly lower levels of distortion, smoother responses, more accurate phase control, and higher sensitivity levels in a smaller package. The new Reveal 5A offers professional monitor specification at a very affordable price.
MAIN FEATURES From the front: 40mm MDF sculpted baffle – stiff, heavy and rigid and minimises diffraction.Recessed drive units flush with the baffle surface – minimises diffraction.10 point fixing maximises contact between drive unit and baffle.Bass unit development using Klippell™ analysis equipment to minimise offsets and linearise the suspension components.New tweeter has wide band design extending the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 30kHz to correct the phase response from 8kHz to 14kHz within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image .Smooth tweeter faceplate contours prevent diffraction and cavity effects.On/Mute (energy saving mode) via the Tannoy logo push switch.LED indicator shows Active/Energy Saving modes.Front mounted volume control for convenient Home Studio and PC/MAC laptop/desktop use.From the sides: 18mm MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration.Internal construction braces the sides and rear of the cabinet against the rear of the bass driver to provide a rigid reactive mass for the moving cone assembly. Ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange.Front baffle and rear panel tongued and grooved into the cabinet as a mechanical interlock for safety if wall mounted.From the rear: Double insulated to prevent ground loops – no safety earth required.CSA/CE/CCC/CB full safety approvals including China.Spare fuse in IEC mains connector.On/Off mains isolator switch.Substantial heat sinking for long term cool running and 24/7 reliability.XLR and _” jack Combi connector for balanced input.
