INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Tannoy System 600A Active Monitor. The System 600A is a very compact, active near-field reference monitor. Using an advanced Dual Concentric 6.5” driver, it offers the advantages of point source operation in a cost-effective design, combined with the benefits of active speaker technology: a highly optimised active crossover section; ideal matching between amplifiers and allow further bass extension (LF contour) and greater flexibility. The attractive oct

The drive unit used in the System 600A monitors is part of the latest generation of Dual , ‘tulip’ HF waveguide and injection The design of the HF waveguide has been arrived at by making extensive use of CAD diaphragm into the acoustic environment, shaping the wavefront as it travels down from the diaphragm ens

which minimise side diffractions. Another problem involved in cabinet design is to ensure that the box will effectively behave as neutrally as possible, ideally without interfering at all with the sound field emitted by the drive unit and the port. There are two main ways the box can get into vibration. First there can be a mechanical transfer of energy between the drive unit and the cabinet front panel. Preventing this requires the use of a rigid and stiff front baffle, quite likely to occur if

SERVICING Cabinet finish. To remove marks and scuffs, use a medium soft brush. If necessary, a little warm water touch-up of paint chips contact your local Tannoy service agent for materials and Dual Concentric driver removal. Before any servicing operation the amplifier should be disconnected from signal input cabinet on its back taking care to protect the rear plate. Remove the four hexagonal bolts and set aside. Ease the driver from the front of the cabinet taking care not to mark the front s
