INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team

of design engineers. The Tannoy Arena Highline 500™ speakers are designed to blend

perfectly into your room and provide a sound stage which is at least as good as you

would hear in a commercial movie theatre, but in the comfort of your own home. You

have a choice of speakers, mounting brackets and floor-stands to help you to get the

very best sound quality and appearance. Tannoy Professional Studio Monitor speakers

are used by mixing engineers, producers and directors in the creation and production

of many movie soundtracks. Tannoy Arena Highline 500™ home cinema speakers are

engineered with the same technology, design and manufacturing principles as Tannoy

Studio Monitors to create realistic special effects with clear crisp dialogue capability. The

carefully designed appearance of Tannoy Arena Highline 500™ system components

allows discreet placement of the speakers giving the movie screen pride of place as the

centre of the visual movie action.

TANNOY DUAL CONCENTRIC™

The Arena Highline 500™ loudspeakers incorporate the legendary Tannoy Dual

Concentric™ drivers. Intensive research and development has produced an all-new

version of this proven technology that builds upon the legendary performance of this

exclusive Tannoy driver design. The time coherent, point source and constant directivity

nature of the dispersion characteristics inherent in the Dual makes it an accepted industry

standard in studio monitoring. By exceeding the rigorous demands of the recording and

mastering environment Tannoy can ensure that playback performance in the home,

whether in two channel stereo or multi channel home cinema mode, is strictly controlled

to accurately reflect the sound engineer’s artistry. In nature all sounds emanate from a

single point in space. The high frequency unit of the Dual, centrally mounted in the throat

of the main mid/bass driver, is so positioned as to acoustically replicate this single point

source; delivering an incredibly natural sound with an incredibly wide imaging 'sweet

spot' that creates an expansive soundstage with remarkably focused placement of vocals

and instrumentation.

TANNOY WIDEBAND™

Tannoy has incorporated its own WideBand™ technology into the design of all Arena

Highline loudspeakers. Not only does this exceptional in-house technology resolve fine

detail of high frequency information but it also effectively enhances the listening experience

throughout the whole frequency range. The WideBand™ high frequency system creates

an increased immediacy, airiness and impact making music sound more natural and true

to life. Music contains transient information and rich harmonics beyond the range of

human hearing for pure tones. Even bass notes have leading edge transients reaching

30kHz. Operating between the roll-off point of the exclusive Tannoy mid-bass driver unit

and 51kHz, the Tannoy WideBand™ high frequency unit will accurately reproduce the

leading edge of individual notes allowing the listener to experience the entire bandwidth

information of instruments. In addition, the extension of the frequency response, by fully

two octaves, corrects time and phase response within the bandwidth of normal human

hearing. Taking these acoustical phase anomalies beyond the audible range adds realism

to the soundstage through improvements in imaging and the placement of instrumentation

and movie special effects.
