MAIN FEATURES
The addition of a second 175mm (7”) bass unit enables this elegant floor standing loudspeaker to deliver rich and extended bass with control and finesse. Superbly agile and involving in a hi-fi stereo application the Sensys 2 is also capable of delivering the scale and impact essential to create a class leading home cinema system.
TANNOY WIDEBAND™ TECHNOLOGY
'Why bother with frequencies only your dog can hear?'
This question, often asked, takes us to the very heart of what Tannoy WideBand™ technology is all about:
Musical instruments produce considerable energy above 20kHz and, with effects of harmonics and overtones, achieve frequencies well beyond what might generally be considered as the limit of human hearing. For instance, the over 20kHz energy of a trumpet, fitted with a particular type of mute, does not drop into the noise floor until 100kHz. Violin and oboe exhibit energy above 40kHz, while sibilants in speech can also be shown to have energy above 40kHz.
Research has shown, through the measurement brain wave activity, that humans do perceive ultrasonic components within music. Concluding that the mechanism of ultrasound transmission is through bone conduction, probably via an organ in the inner ear, called the saccule, to the cochlea, the organ responsible for hearing.
In addition, WideBand™ technology reduces phase error and significantly improves transient performance below 20kHz. This leads to increased tonal accuracy throughout the whole frequency range, even bass information is faster and tighter, effectively enhancing the total listening experience. Music, speech and soundtrack effects have an increased immediacy, airiness and impact, providing a performance that sounds more natural and true to life.
Extreme physical demands are placed on the high frequency unit when performing at such extended bandwidth levels. The need to achieve completely consistent constructional and acoustic quality has led Tannoy to design and produce its own titanium dome driver at its Scottish based manufacturing facility.
