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 601a 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 601a 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 601a studio monitors feature a custom amplifier and a high-frequency trim controls for fine tuning.

Tannoy Reveal 601a Active Studio Monitors Features at a Glance:
  • Integrated 90W total power amp unit
  • 6.5" (130mm) LF/MF driver and 1" (30mm) soft-dome tweeter
  • Wide frequency response of 60Hz-30kHz
  • Sculpted and rigid front-baffle design to minimize diffraction
  • Response has been optimized for quarter-space nearfield operation
  • Front-firing reflex bass port to negate boundary coupling
  • Wide-band tweeter
  • LED indicator shows power status
  • +1.5/0/-1.5dB HF trim switch for custom room adjustment
  • Rear-mounted volume control
  • Balanced XLR and unbalanced ¼" TS connectors

I have searched the better part of a year looking for a solid quality pair of monitors I could live with under the $500 price range. I began my search just reading customer and professional product re... read more [+]views online for probably about ever monitor that exists under $500 a pair. The three monitors I had narrowed it down to were The Yamaha HS50m, JBL LSR 2325, and the Tannoy Reveal (I hadn't decided on the 501a or 601a at the time).

The selling factors for the Tannoys were WHO wrote the reviews and what they said about it, as well as being front ported, whereas the Hs50m, and the JBL LSR are not. Though I am not near as experienced, nor do I do this professionally, I highly value words of professionals when it comes to gear and techniques. The reviews for this speaker (though few), held it in such high praise that I decided to get it without properly comparing between the other two speakers.

The risk paid off though. I am still "breaking them in", but these will exaggerate errors in your mix. I got these on a huge part about what professionals have said about them. TAKE THEIR WORD FOR IT! THESE SPEAKERS ARE AN EXCELLENT BUY!! If I were a professional, I would give you a more accurate and articulate critique, but in fear of doing an injustice to these speakers, I will leave it to the other professional reviews I read, the amazing knowledgeable staff at Sweetwater, and the Tannoys themselves.

Oh! and did I mention they're loud?!?! haha

Tannoy quality at an affordable price.

There are a number of monitors at this price range that I've listened to that sound great, and the Reveal 601a's are no exception. They do a great job of bringing out details within the mix, which is... read more [+] exactly what I want from a mid-size near-field monitor. And although they sound great and they are quite affordable, (as much as I hate to admit it) the tone-snob-designer-brand reputation that Tannoy has was also a determining factor in this purchase. As a businessman, it makes sense to put reputable, "rider-friendly" equipment into my studio. If I have the rare opportunity to purchase that equipment, have it produce quality results and have it be affordable, then that piece of equipment is a winner. The Tannoy Reveal 601a is that winner! close [-]
