TANNOY REVEAL 501A ตู้ลำโพง มอนิเตอร์ Active near field monitor 60W total power amp unit 5” (130mm) LF/MF driver and 1” (30mm) soft dome tweeter 

REVEAL 501A

The original Tannoy Reveal Active near field monitor hasbecome an iconic fixture in recording studios across the world since itsarrival in the mid-nineties, widely recognised as the product that defined thecategory and has been the active monitor of choice for thousands of amateur andprofessional recording, creative composition and postproduction facilitiesworldwide. Building upon this world-class reputation, the all new Tannoy RevealActive series represents the latest evolution of Tannoy’s high resolution activereference monitor technology.

Whether you’re building a studio on a budget and don’twant to compromise on sonic quality, or you need an active monitor with a smallfootprint, the Reveal 501a offers the perfect solution. Built to the samesuperior standard as the rest of the new Reveal range, the Reveal 501a packsperformance, accuracy and value into a compact enclosure. Priced competitivelywith the entry-level recording setup in mind, the all new Reveal501a delivers awide bandwidth performance that will impress even the most seasoned pro.

Ahead of the Curve
The sculpted curved edges of the new Reveal’s front baffle help to eliminate unwanted diffraction caused when sound dispersed from the sides of the cabinet is scattered back into the near field causing interference and phase distortion. By carefully smoothing off these edges, this unwanted diffraction is significantly reduced, delivering critical improvements to frequency response and crystal clear imaging, even when off-axis.

Optimised Tweeter Design
In the pursuit of achieving a wide and even nearfield monitoring ‘sweet spot’, delivering accurate and highly controlled high frequencies is critical. The new Reveals feature a brand new tweeter design comprising of soft dome HF driver coupled to an elliptical waveguide that has been optimised to provide very controlled high frequency directivity and minimise diffraction, providing a wide and consistent listening field.

Forward Thinking
Most studio monitors feature bass ports on the rear of their cabinet. This type of design leads to an inherent problem called bass-coupling whereby low frequencies are amplified when the monitors are located close to room boundaries, leading to coloured and inaccurate mix results. The new Reveals feature front-firing reflex bass ports however, to allow for ideal positioning even within small or confined studio spaces, while still providing defined bass performance.

REVEAL 501A

With the benefit of being active (self-powered), the Reveal501a’s perfectly matched integrated amplifier ensures maximum efficiency from the 5” woofer and 1” soft dome tweeter and removes any need for a separate power amp. Response has been optimised for quarter space near field operation, such as on a meter bridge or on a table either side of your control surface, while independent gain control is provided on the rear panel, along with HF trim control, to allow fine tuning. 

The low distortion 5” LF/MF driver voicing has been enhanced to deliver a natural and accurate ultra-linear response in the low and midrange frequencies, while the wide bandwidth tweeter extends the amplitude response beyond the 20kHz audibility threshold to 30kHz to improve the phase response within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image, ensuring stunningly accurate mix translation.

The rigid MDF cabinet construction provides stiffness and minimises colouration, while internal bracing of the sides and rear against the back of the bass driver provides a rigid reactive mass for the moving cone assembly; this ensures fast tight bass response and clear midrange. The curved edged design of the front baffle helps eliminate diffraction, while the front-firing bass port avoids the problem of exaggerated bass response as a result of boundary-coupling – a pitfall inherent with rear-firing designs when positioned close to a wall. The new elliptical tweeter waveguide has also been optimised to control high frequency directivity and minimise diffraction, ensuring a wide and even sweet spot.

Both balanced XLR and unbalanced TRS jack inputs complete the versatile package, ensuring the Tannoy Reveal501a is easily integrated into any home or project studio with the minimum of fuss.
