TANNOY SGM 10 PASSIVE 2-Way Standmount 10” Dual Concentric HiFi Loudspeaker

Description

Once you step into the golden circle, it’s nearly impossible to escape. Why? Because you will hear your music and films like you have never heard them before. Our heritage speaker Monitor GOLD was launched all the way back in the 1980’s, and since then countless high-profile recording studios have used our speakers when mixing and/or mastering some of the most iconic albums and soundtracks in history.

Artists like Michael Jackson, Elton John, The Eagles, Billy Idol, Depeche Mode, Christina Aguilera, and soundtracks for films like Top Gun, Breakfast Club and Catch Me if You Can had Tannoy speakers as the final link in the signal chain in the studio.

Responsive Tightness

The SUPER GOLD 10 speakers have 10” woofers that deliver that amazing sweetspot in between rich lows and tight and fast-responding mids and highs. They are the perfect companion when listening to music with fast transients and plenty of attack. For instance, Funk, Electronica, World Music and Contemporary Jazz comes to mind. That said, they are perfectly capable of giving you the chills when listening to Classical Music, Rock, Pop or any other music genre.

Dual Concentric Precision

We invented the dual concentric speaker design in 1947, and it has been refined and improved continuously over the decades. With SUPER GOLD you get the very latest incarnation of this pristine design that has won critical acclaim over and over for nearly 70 years!

With our Dual Concentric design, the woofer and tweeter are literally merged together, which positions them on the exact same axis, giving you best-in-class phase coherence. Since the sound is coming from the same point, it is a true point-source imaging scenario, and adding to that a spherical wave front that ensures an extremely even dispersion both vertically and horizontally, the SUPER GOLD’s off-axis performance is breathtaking.

But what is the benefit when listening? You simply get a very wide and true sweetspot, which means that you don’t have to sit dead-center in front of the speakers to enjoy every single, subtle detail in the music. You can move around, or when you have company, everyone can enjoy listening even if they are not directly in front of the speakers.

Finally, we constantly refine and improve our dual concentric design, and today we use modern ferrite with copper demodulation rings and high flux magnetic circuit, which perform even better than the original 1970’s Alnico design.

Listening for Hours on End

SUPER GOLD passes on the sound that the artist and producer intended without artefacts. The goal was to create a truly neutral soundstage with zero sonic coloration, and as a result these speakers are very non-fatiguing, which means that you can not only get a full and rich listening experience from almost anywhere in the room, but also that you can listen for hours on end without wearing out your ears.

You’re the Co-Producer

Sure, we have emphasized that SUPER GOLD is neutral and true to the how the artist wanted the music to sound. But some listening environments may benefit from a few minor adjustments. That is where you come in as the co-producer.

We fitted an easily-accessible, two-way energy control system on the front of the speaker that allows you to take control and compensate in case your listening environment calls for slight adjustments.
