Think of a violin playing a single note a standard speaker will have different parts of this (including its harmonics) coming from two or more points in space at the same time. Whereas normal speakers fire sound out at you from different places on the front baffle, Tannoy’s driver produces it from the same place. It soon found its way into hi-fi speakers, when Tannoy made a monitor for Decca recording studios. This was not sold in cabinets, but as research tools for testing microphones, due to the exceptionally flat frequency response. Its first dual concentric design – the Monitor Black of 1946 – was a coaxial speaker combining mid/bass and treble units in one drive unit. Still, because the concept is so old there has been plenty of time to refine it, and Tannoy came up with its own solution nearly 70 years ago. Moving coil drive units in a wooden box are the most common and simplest type to produce, but arguably the most flawed. We all know what a good speaker should do, but how to do it is another matter altogether – there are many different ways of attempting this. Vive la Revolution!
