TANNOY Eyris DC1 bookshelf speaker monitor with a 175mm version of the new cast chassis Dual ConcentricTM drive unit[Dec. 30, 2011 10:30:28]
new Tannoy Eyris DC series combine the core element of sound quality with the equally essential ingredients of cutting edge technology and contemporary aesthetics.
The technology utilised in Eyris DC models is derived from our superior engineering knowledge following Tannoy' s long-term association with the audio and film industry. Intensive research and development has produced a n updated and highly refined version of the famous Tannoy Dual Concentric TM co-incident point source, constant directivity drive unit.
The Eyris DC driver cone employs materials carefully selected from multi fibre paper pulp mixes; chosen for fast, tight, bass with superb transient response and natural, open midrange qualities. The very high level of linear cone excursion allows increased bass power output with excellent transient behaviour at all power levels.
The undisputed benefits of extended high frequency performance have been recognised by audio enthusiasts and recording professionals worldwide. Tannoy WIDEBAND TM technology is incorporated into all Eyris DC models extending the frequency response to 53kHz and delivering breath-taking dynamics, detail and sound staging. A 25-micron titanium dome in the SuperTweeter, a key component of the wide bandwidth system, not only allows supremely accurate fine detail resolution of high frequencies but also effectively enhances the listening experience throughout the entire frequency range. The double-vented driver design guarantees smooth and detailed high frequency reproduction without sibilance or harshness by eliminating diaphragm air compression
Other features within the range include bi-wiring, RF grounding, and variable port damping for room acoustic optimisation.
Substantially built and yet elegantly styled real wood veneer cabinets are beautifully handcrafted using only the finest components. The massively constructed front baffle is machined from 30mm thick high-grade MDF, and the 18mm MDF enclosure is comprehensively braced to provide the highest level of structural rigidity.
American walnut coordinates with more traditional furnishings.
Despite the compact aspect of the Eyris DC1 bookshelf monitor, it is fitted with a 175mm version of the new cast chassis Dual Concentric TM drive unit.
