All user reviews for the Tannoy Precision 8D

I quickly. Digital and analog monitor with soft Activ Assist for configuration and frequency response.

Enrée SPDIF and AES not (it's a shame because it is not much to do for the manufacturer).
Volume knob a bit cheap that crachotte quickly (though very little intensive use ...)
Selector button as quickly crachotte.

Pretty box aspect of my night never dreamed more general concept finishing and acoustic enclosure fairly simple view commonplace for a brand like Tannoy.

SOUNDS

Frequency curve and well balanced but requires a bit of space behind the Tannoy (not against the wall so ) if not at any scale spectrum

Dynamics and precision thanks to the wonderful Stereo Dual Concentric system. on the other hand shallow and accuracy of the dimensions of acoustic space. This may be defeated by the rigidity of the motor / hp.

Work of some acoustic instruments such as piano, violin difficult on tannoy.

on the other hand compared to my big Genelec 1037 it was not so bad especially the dynamics of low

This débrouillle even in difficult acoustic.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly it's beautiful enclosure monitoring and have an incredible price qualitée Hours of Operation.

on the other hand very fragile at the transistors slamming quickly use Pro (on more than 8 hours per day). So the tidal bol send Servicing and resolder I turned my two precision 8D passive and I sulk a bit since.

The concept is always good at Tannoy against by the electronics is really bad. Prennait rather passive and use a good amplifier and you have a great systhème. Go right ahead of the amp ...

Monitoring ended badly it's silly. The judgment is finally production logic.

I suggest you at least 2m spacing and listening position a little more inside the Triangle ITU.

NOTHING around within 1m

used main monitor in my studio, I chose these speakers for their value for money.

SOUNDS

the sound is good nothing to say, certainly not as accurate as the speakers at 3000 €, but they do their taf. it is important to have a nice mix of space. it is very heavy and quite large.

OVERALL OPINION

I was since 2010. I've been running since 2010 moin 5H day, seeing time on October 1 ene time to sharpen, I have a problem with a C after 2 years of intensive use I recup enclosure of Opps, so I have pieces of advances which is far from negligible because this model is no longer the most restful and do not want to hit the digital part.

concluded price / her in my opinion very good, but not fall harbor (after I can not be ut chance)

Audiophile enthusiast, I use these little wonders for ten days. They are positioned in a small room rather damped on both sides of my I.mac.Il's just for me to listen to music while the rest of the family before the télé.Elles are connected to the analogue output of the Mac which thus acts as a preamp. We can not increase the volume in the digital domain with the Mac, it's a shame. However, as this is great listening, intelligible hyper, hyper precise width and depth (the concentric Hp plays his role perfectly), hyper-dynamic, no hardness, compression chamber does not scream when you push the level, unlike the Tannoy "home" that can listen in magazins.Certes wealth of stamps is a bit short of what I mean with my 300B on flats, but probably add 300 B harmonics "pleasant." They just sound "real." But watch the ears! Because they do not distort you can listen very loud without realizing it, as on "black ice" example and end the ears whistle ... Very happy with my choice

Ok all is said

OVERALL OPINION

All is said, urged

The particularity of these speakers that I INTERESTED first of their technology is "the speaker in the cabinet," strengthen the effect of "nettetquot; the cost ...

The fact that it is "large" speakers, sharp and with that I possdais also attracted me a lot.

It is in use "project-studio", and they fulfill what crdo: large, powerful, beautiful, ...

I do not use the connection numrique.

There are 20 small switches the rear, with a small "screwdriver" to attach the handle without damaging them. These can be its own curve as a function of frequency drives instead of cost.
A small software is available on the website of Tannoy. It installs easily on your computer, connect a microphone is your computer (in my case, I miss that little cable ...) and launch the program does the rest, then telling you what switches touch the rear of the speakers ...
VERY VERY FUN!

SOUNDS

I stub my speakers using a CD that I know by heart (base Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Prince, Stones, etc.). Waiting to do with the software ...

The image is impeccable and above prcise trs, at home, yet with a small "rgy" of 14-15 m. .. The whole spectrum is Submitted with, in some cases a lack of serious trslger trs (I got, see if the software is not going to help me fix this lightweight concern). The dynamic is beautifully transcribed, also the great job.

I will keep you informed of the outcome of vnements

OVERALL OPINION

Use for a month.
It's a little condensed the manufacturer of new technologies, I recommend checking out their website to read it ...

I love the feeling of not having a pregnant, 20 switches the rear to carve my own way the curve, the sharpness of the sound and all those little dtails disappear I ds happening on my other pair of speakers ...
I do not like their weight, but it inhrent their technical specifications ...

I tried a friend Mackies HR824 ing sound, as it did not sell them and that lends them to me occasionally, I bought a bet diffrent ...
I possdais dj KRK V4 Series 2's, trs good small speakers to default endearing, but not at all comparable (300 Euros secondhand pair, forcment ...).

For the price that I pay these speakers, reues completely new in their boxes / foam / plastic and Scotch origin, all of 640 Euros is the business of the century ...

At this price I do it again this choice the closed eyes

I'm an enthusiastic audio fan and I've been using these small speakers for about 10 days. I placed them left and right of my iMac in a small and no too reflecting room. I use them to listen to music while my family is looking at TV. I connected them to the analog line output of my iMac, which doubles as a preamp. The Mac doesn't allow you to increase the volume of the digital signal and it's a pity. However, the sound is wonderful, very intelligible and accurate (the concentric speaker does a great work), ultra dynamic but not hard, the compression chamber doesn't howl at high output levels, unlike "standard" Tannoy speakers you can listen to in many shops. The response is not as rich as with my 300B with horn drivers but the 300B certainly adds some pleasant overtones. These Tannoy speakers simply sound "true" but watch out for your ears! They don't distort the signal so you can listen to music at very loud levels without ending up with soar ears... I'm very happy with this purchase.
