4 5 1.1: INTRODUCTION The Tannoy Reveal Digital range of near field monitoring speakers builds upon the success and worldwide reputation of the famous original Tannoy Reveal Active.
6 7 An A/V 80Hz high pass filter switch provides instant conversion to 5.1 and higher order systems where a separate subwoofer below 80Hz is required. Filter characteristics are according to the international standards for this setup. This response is also shown diagramatically in Figure 1.
8 9 Low Mid Contour Frequency: A shelving filter can be set to the flat anechoic response or set to shelve at frequencies of 800Hz, 400Hz, or 200Hz in combination with the low mid contour amplitude (below) to correct half space (pi/2), quarter space (pi/4) and very difficult close field boundary conditions (pi/8 space).
10 11 Hi-Mid Shelf Boost/Cut: a shelving filter between 1kHz and 3KHz can be set to +2, +1dB, flat, -1dB, -2dB, to take account of room characteristics and personal preference. Editing news broadcast material is often easier with an increased output in this band.
12 13 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -10dB +10dB 0dB re 2.8v @ 1 metre Quarter Space (Pi): An example of quarter space would be with speakers mounted on stands in a corner, or on the meter bridge against a wall or mounted on small stands or shelves against a wall.
14 15 MID AND HIGH EQ SETTINGS RT60 Decay Time: An estimation of the RT60 decay time above 1kHz within the monitoring environment will help to set the mid and high frequency equalisation.
Now, if you were to follow the all too common practice of lying your two way monitors on their side to give you better sight lines over your meter bridge, you can see (and hear) what will happen.
