Tannoy V-8 – Professional Loudspeaker 260w

MAIN FEATURES

The Tannoy V8 is a premium quality installation cabinet based around a high power 200mm (8?) point source, constant directivity Dual Concentric? transducer.

The V8 incorporates the latest generation Dual Concentric driver design. The features include a reinforced paper cone with double rolled cambric surround for high sensitivity, dual magnet assembly and a Tulip WaveGuide? for the HF unit. The high frequency (HF) and low frequency (LF) sources are coincidentally aligned to a point source. The result is a smooth, uniform frequency response over a wide coverage area, unachievable with discrete, two-way designs in the vertical plane where massive cancellations appear off axis at the crossover frequency. The 90° conical dispersion of the Dual Concentric allows either vertical or horizontal mounting without compromising
sound quality.

Available in Black or White, the rugged multi-ply birch cabinet has an asymmetric profile that allows installations in a variety of configurations.

The V8 is designed to function properly without the use of any controller. A compatible controller will equalise the system resulting in improved bass performance, enhanced HF response as well as providing a 2-way crossover function (the Tannoy TX1 controller would cross over at 100Hz) for use with separate V Series bass systems.

The V8 comes complete with a carrying handle and 10mm flying points to provide a quick and secure flying system. Tannoy?s proprietary Secure-ET? modular mounting hardware provides the V Series with multiple hanging options ? wall mount, yoke, ceiling saddle, pole clamp, pole mount and eyebolts. The V8 can be installed in clusters of 2, 3 or 4 with Tannoy cluster bar hardware.

Technical Information:

The D 8 is a light-weight, robust 8“/1”, 2-way plastic cabinet for professional sound reinforcement applications. With a variety of suspension accessories and conservative cosmetics, the D 8 is ideally suited to be used in demanding fixed installations.
The cabinet is manufactured from ABS and therefore is extremely resistant against abuse on the road. For low and mid frequencies a DYNACORD DND8200-8 neodymium transducer is used. The Electro-Voice DH3 driver is used for the projection of the high frequencies. The Constant-Directivity HF horn has been integrated into the baffle by CAD methods. The nominal coverage angle of the cabinet is 90°*90°, horizontal*vertical, respectively.
Power handling of the cabinet is 250 W (rated) and 1000W (peak). The maximum sound pressure level is 124 dB, the frequency range of the D 8 is from 65Hz to 20kHz. The D 8 is ideally suited for applications as full-range cabinet or as Mid-Hi cabinet in high-performance small-format active and passive satellite systems.
Every transducer is protected against short-term thermal overload with thermal cutout switches and halogen protectors. In case of a potential thermal overload the power applied to the speakers is reduced to a safe level. The protection exhibits ʽsoftʼ switching characteristics, so no annoying clicks or pops are audible. The circuitry automatically resets after the voice coil temperature has reached a safe value.
Extremely durable acoustic foam mounted to a strong powder-coated steel grille protects the loudspeaker components against any mechanical damage. The trapezoidally shaped enclosure also allows employing the cabinet in monitoring applications. A stable, integrated carrying handle and the integrated stand socket for pole-mount stands allow easy transportation and set-up. A protective cover is available as an optional accessory.
