It matches the acoustic source impedance at the HF diaphragm into the acoustic environment, shaping the wavefront as it travels down from the diaphragm ensuring equal path lengths to achieve a spherical wavefront. The design of the HF waveguide has been arrived at by making extensive use of CAD (computer aided design). Among many others features, this range of drivers incorporate a dual magnet assembly, ‘tulip’ HF waveguide and injection moulded polypropylene LF cone. The drive unit used in the System 1200 monitors is part of the latest generation of Dual Concentric units designed by Tannoy. Low Frequency Design….Optimised Bass Reflex LoadedĬabinet Construction….MDF 36mm (1.4″) front panel, 19mm (0.75″) high density particle boardĬabinet Finish….Baffle: Charcoal textured paint. Power Handling….180W (Average)…350W (Programme)ĭrive Unit….305mm (12″) Tannoy Dual Concentric Recommended Amplifier Power….100 to 300W RMS (8 Ohm) The use of the latest materials and manufacturing techniques gives the System 1200 the ability to exploit the full performance of today’s analogue and digital recording equipment whether in the studio, at home or in the theatre The System 1200 is capable of producing accurate, high quality sound for a wide range of applications. The speaker is capable of high volume levels without compression and delivers excellent transient response. The accurate phase response achieved delivers a realistic soundstage, along with a smooth and natural sound which is unfatiguing over long listening periods. This design produces all the frequencies from a single point, mirroring the way sound is produced in real life. The attractive octagonal shape of the cabinet with its rounded edge corners and front panel contributes to the excellent acoustic performance of the cabinet.ĭue to its point source operation it will perform equally well in both landscape and portait orientations.ĭescription – The Dual Concentric driver might look like a conventional bass unit, but the system incorporates a high performance tweeter positioned immediately behind the centre of the bass cone.

Using an advanced 12” Dual Concentric driver, if offers the advantages of point source operation in a very cost-effective design. This loudspeaker is a professional mid-field reference monitor, able to reproduce with accuracy and at high levels frequencies as low as 40 Hz.
