2.0: INTRODUCTION
Tannoy has integrated the Dual Concentric“ point source, constant directivity drive unit with leading edge digital signal
processing, network control and class D amplifier technologies to create VNET“. High definition sound reinforcement (HDSR“)
loudspeakers designed to form the complete installation solution. Close integration and proximity of the main system elements
has many advantages, and permits the amplifiers, processing, monitoring and drivers to perform as a unified whole. The
resulting package is a very high performance loudspeaker with intuitive user setup, integrated processing, tuning control,
performance diagnostics and protection. Class D power amplification with a switched mode power supply is very efficient,
flexible and reliable. Little is required in the way of heat sinking and no fans are required. The small control panel on the rear
of the cabinet is all the surface area that is needed for cooling, allowing the unit to operate at a low temperature, even when
driven at very high power levels. The digital electronics (DSP) also use switched mode regulators to further improve efficiency
and enhance design synchronicity of the entire package.
The Tannoy VNet Range of professional loudspeakers have been designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications
requiring extended frequency response from a powerful yet compact system, capable of delivering high sound pressure levels
with extremely low distortion, resulting in outstanding clarity, definition and detail.
The Tannoy VNET12 comprises one 12 inch Dual Concentric driver, in which the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF)
sources are coincidentally aligned to a point source, resulting in a smooth uniform frequency response over a wide area of
coverage either as a portable stand alone system or in a multi-cabinet array. The sophisticated CAD designed waveguide
combines conical dispersion and excellent acoustic impedance characteristics. As the system is a point source, clusters and
arrays have minimal lobing. These features are inherent and achieved without the use of any electronic signal processing.
