All user reviews of 5/5 for the Tannoy Reveal Active

Woofer, tweeter. balanced XLR input, power input, on/ off switch. Nothing special really, but just exactly what you need. The cabinet is extremely sturdy; very very well made. The speaker elements are mounted with high quality allen screws. From what I understand, Tannoy only makes monitors so that was a big factor in my decision making process. The front of the monitor is painted a really cool dark green and the power indicator LED is a cool blue! I use this setup with my Apogee ensemble interface; it's a killer rig! No amp needed of course since these are powered monitors.

SOUNDS

The sounds are great! Very true to the source, or at least not too hyped in any particular way. For super accurate mixing, a sub might be beneficial, but not necessary. You don't want monitors to sound too good actually, because they won't help you achieve your goal of making your mixes sound good on any system. That's why Yamaha NS10's are so popular in studios. The though process is, if you can make your mixes sound good on NS10's, then they will sound good on anything. But yeah, great dynamics, clear sounds, just very well represented.

OVERALL OPINION

I love these monitors! They sound killer, they are extremely reliable, and I got them for half price since they were being discontinued. If you can find these used for a good deal, snatch them up! Prior to purchasing these, I had used some very expensive Dynaudios and Yamaha NS10's. It really doesn't matter what monitors you get as long as they are as flat as possible and you can get used to them. You need something to help you make accurate decisions regarding how your music will translate to other systems. I would definitely buy more of these if I could. Just a great set of monitors!

The Tannoy is excellent. I'm surprised to see such low scores for this pair of passive Reveal monitoring.Les have a very good sound, while the amplifier used is not intended for these speakers. Reveal the active amplifier features a specially designed poue them. Obviously this is not a Mackie (HR 824 or HR 624). The Tannoy have a good sound, make good bass. They are not pale in front of the most famous. If you have a small studio, and you do not have the money for buying Mackie (HR 824 = € 2,000). The Tannoy may surprise you.

SOUNDS

For the frequency curve, just look at the diagram on the back of the speakers. It is very flat. Slight bump to the bottom of the spectrum, small but if you do not push the volume.Pour terms of the spectrum, since you are not 192 KHz, it will be very well spent. For those who are 192 KHz, changed the speaker pair, you're already too fussy.

OVERALL OPINION

Since my purchase (ie two years), I've been in several studios and opinions were always agree (might be because "they all work on electronic music and the Tannoy not budge) . I chose this pair after talking to several people. If I had the choice again, I would take a more expensive pair! but I is not money and for my use, the Tannoy are perfect. I mix of acoustic (guitar, violin, pan-cons and all the fuss) and electronics. In terms of price / quality ratio, you'll find better elsewhere but you do not tighten disappointed. Tannoy monitor speakers makes for a long time and they do it well.

I was lucky enough to get me used these speakers for 400 euros and I am satisfied with their performance trs!
I use to master my work in music or noise lctoacoustique and have the advantage of being trs prcise despite BTIS I've read about them.
Nevertheless I find that the boom is too retait the outside of the enclosure which is dangerous and the risk of Habima if it happens that something the abyss ...

SOUNDS

I have nothing to say about the sound of these speakers in terms of dynamic stereo image or curved frequency drives!
This model does not care and you can not mix a prcis (especially in medium and it often hurts the bottom!)
The only IK is the little breath I have, but are what may be due to the fact that I have had occasion to auyssi and made me to be particularly sensitive to buzz because you have to do on Pancher HP to realize it.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this model for 6 months without problem.
The advantage and the clarity and dfinision across the spectrum that allows miux the finest!
I tried other models before the one and I'm sure it's the only quality RAPORT took the market that do not take for an idiot!
Ngatifs aspects are:
weight (but hey when possible!)
their design '(personally I do not like)
the little buzz that I can be but it is due to the fact that I bought used
IF YOU DO NOT LIKE ME MUCH D4ARGENT BUY THIS MODEL
