Tannoy TS12 Computer Monitor User Manual


 
Just because a speaker sounds great in one room doesn’t mean it will sound great in your studio.
Room acoustics, speaker placement and monitoring distance play a great role in the way a speaker
sounds. Until now there wasn’t much you could do about that without spending more money on
expensive equalisers and a professional acoustician to place the speakers and tune them to the room.
Tannoy’s exclusive Activ-Assist™ technology ensures that the great-sounding monitors we build will
sound great where it matters; right there in your studio! It all starts with Activ-Assist™ software running
on a PC/MAC with a sound card. The program automates the acoustic measurement process and
allows you to measure the speakers in the room like a pro.
Once the measurement is made the software calculates the right settings from over 2,000 potential
choices. Tuning the speaker is as simple as setting the switches on the rear panel to match the graphic
on the computer screen. In seconds your Reveal D monitors have been tuned and optimised for the
room with the same degree of precision that is used in some of the world’s best recording studios.
Activ-Assist™ software is available at no charge from www.tannoy.com for use with your own
measurement microphone. A calibrated Tannoy measurement microphone is also available as an
accessory from your local Tannoy dealer.
