Tannoy has announced improvements to its TS range of compact subwoofers with a new three-strong range.
The latest evolution of the TS series promises improvements in performance, LF extension and flexibility through new cabinets, new electronics and a host of new features across the range. The compact cabinets are crafted from 18mm MDF on all sides and braced at the joints, offering a more rigid structure than previously to provide more accurate and tuneful low frequency reproduction.
The top-mounted control panel with LCD display hints at the new electronic control circuitry beneath, which includes fully variable gain, plus upper frequency roll-off and phase (0-180 degrees) control. There’s also single-point parametric EQ from 20Hz upwards with +/- 6dB variable Q control, a shelf filter to tilt the response according to room size, and three preset EQ modes – Audio (flat), Video (enhanced LF) and Night (less dynamic).
The subs include BASH amplifiers of 200, 300 and 500 watts with forward firing long-throw drivers of 8in, 10in and 12in diameter in the TS801, TS1001 and TS1201 respectively.
All have a new, patented, tracking switch-mode power supply, crossovers in the digital domain and long-throw drivers, plus bass has been extended 5-6Hz lower than previous models, now dropping all the way down to 21Hz.
