GOLD 8

Whether you’re recording, editing, mixing, or mastering
audio, a truly great studio reference monitor design needs to provide the most
accurate, uncolored representation of your music as possible. Tannoy Gold
nearfield reference monitors have been created to serve the demanding needs of
professionals in recording, broadcast and post-production environments.
Engineered to the highest standards and build quality, The GOLD 8 will impress
you whether you’re a seasoned Tannoy user or just taking your first step up to
a monitor system based on the legendary Dual Concentric™ driver.

Unrivaled Performance

Times may have changed, but our engineering values and
commitment to perfection have not. Everything we do today is judged against our
considerable achievements of the past as we continue to advance the art and
science of building the world’s premier reference monitors. Constant refinement
of our famed Dual Concentric™ driver, advanced Klippel™ analysis and a host of
other technologies ensure that with every new product comes another historic
chapter. Thanks to the integrated design, the speakers and the amplifiers are
designed as one. Breathtaking yesterday; equally breathtaking today…

Obsessive About Precision

Clearly, to build the best studio monitors you must start
with the very best drivers. At Tannoy our reputation for excellence is built on
the quality and performance of the speaker systems we build, and that is why we
continue to design and manufacture our own drivers. Tannoy has long held to a
philosophical stand on crossover points, understanding the anomalous effects of
any crossover network with respect to phase. Our monitor designs have
consequently always strived to minimise the number of crossover points that
fall inside the critical response band. Reducing the number of crossover points
reduces potential phase errors and creates a more natural and accurate device.

Tannoy Dual Concentric™

At the heart of the GOLD 8’s superb performance you will
find an all-new iteration of our legendary and exclusive Tannoy Dual Concentric
Driver Technology. With seven decades of refinement behind it, the Dual
Concentric™ driver represents a near-perfect point source, preserving the tonal
character and harmonic structure of program material as no discrete-driver
system can. The benefits are immediately obvious with flat response, controlled
dispersion and a wider sweet-spot in both the horizontal and vertical planes.

Point Source Tulip Waveguide

In nature, all sounds emanate from a single point in space.
By centrally-locating the high frequency unit of the Dual Concentric
configuration, GOLD 8 acoustically replicates the single point sound source,
delivering exceptionally natural performance with an incredibly wide imaging
“sweet-spot”. Delivery is further enhanced by the implementation of a
highly-innovative point source Tulip Waveguide with symmetrical dispersion,
which provides a broad soundstage with remarkably focused and accurate stereo
imaging.

Suited For All Placements

The ideal environment for listening is a room that is
“flat,” neither too reflective (reverberent) nor too absorptive (where the
sound is muffled). But since all rooms are not the same acoustically, your GOLD
8 comes equipped to function in a wide variety of environments. HF trim
control, and a rear panel filter switch is provided to adapt the monitor’s low
frequency characteristics for the effects of boundary conditions.

Bi-Amplification Via Class-AB

Why Class-AB? The duty of any amplifier is to take a small
input signal and turn it into a louder output that maintains the
characteristics of the original signal, and to be large enough to meet the
demands of the loudspeaker it drives. While Class-A amplifiers sound great at low
volumes, they waste a tremendous amount of power that is lost as heat when
asked to output hundreds of Watts. And even though Class-B amplifiers are much
more efficient, they tend to bring a great deal of distortion to the mix. A
Class-AB amplifier combines the linear performance of Class-A with the higher
efficiency performance of Class-B, producing a much better amplifier design for
loudspeakers used in critical listening environments.

Flexible Connectivity

GOLD 8 allows you to connect up to 2 audio sources
simultaneously thanks to its continually-active XLR and TRS inputs, and assign
Left or Right when connected to a 3.5mm TRS jack plug. Switchable intelligent
signal sensing circuitry is included, ensuring that when your system is not in
use, your monitors switch into an environmentally friendly, power-saving
stand-by mode.

The Legacy Lives On

Many of the world’s greatest hits have been
recorded and mixed using Tannoy studio monitors.Tannoy’s long and storied
legacy lives on in the GOLD 8 Dual Concentric Studio Reference Monitor; a
legacy that has endured the test of time and adapted with the evolution of
technology. Greater low frequency extension, higher output and enhanced
reliability are only part of the story with the GOLD 8. This is a monitor that
is sure to become a classic because it does everything well; from dynamic music
content, to dialogue and everything in between, the GOLD 8 will become your
most trusted reference for every project.
