Tannoy-quality Monitors for a Project-studio Budget!

For the better part of last century, Tannoy was on the forefront of speaker technology, and since the mid-'90s, the Reveal series has become one of the most popular professional studio monitor lines in the world. Reveal 501a studio monitors are designed to bring the same amazing quality associated with the Tannoy name into your home or project studio. Their design includes a patented front baffle with sculpted curved edges; preventing sound dispersion from the sides and the back of the cabinet. The result is a finely tuned spread that keeps sound from scattering throughout your studio and muddying up your monitoring.

Despite their exceptional directionality, Reveal 501a monitors produce a comfortably wide and consistent sweet spot. This is largely due to their optimized tweeter design, which uses an elliptical waveguide. A front-firing reflex bass port also prevents bass coupling from occurring with studio walls, without diminishing bass response. That means you get incredible accuracy, with less coloration — even in a small or confined environment. To ensure that they give you the best-possible speaker efficiency and frequency control, Reveal 501a studio monitors feature a custom amplifier and a high-frequency trim controls for fine tuning.

Tannoy Reveal 501a Active Studio Monitors Features at a Glance:
  • Integrated 60W total power amp unit
  • 5" (130mm) LF/MF driver and 1" (30mm) soft dome tweeter

Getting a phone call from one of your sales engineers to thank me for my order is just something that does not happen these days. A personal touch is great. Outstanding service and my order arrived as promised in two days.

Sweetwater Advice

Charlie Davis
I checked a pair of these new Tannoys out over the weekend and I have to say, I'm very impressed. Some of the most accurate low-end I've heard come out of a monitor of this size, along with great stereo imaging. Simply put, in this price range, these are the best monitors that I've heard and I've already replaced my old monitors with them.
