Tannoy GOLD 8 8" Active Studio Monitor (Pair)

The Tannoy GOLD 8 is an affordable way to introduce high-quality audio to your studio, perfect for mixing, mastering, editing, or general listening. Designed and engineering in the UK, this is a perfect option for anybody, whether you're looking for your first set on monitors to a substantial upgrade on some older ones.

Precision Drivers

In order to get the highest possible sound quality, Tannoy designs and manufactures their own drivers, as they have always done. The custom-designed Dual Concentric driver provides a near-perfect point source that preserves the tonal character and harmonic integrity of program material as no discrete-driver system can.

The benefits of this are: a flat frequency response, controlled dispersion, and a generous sweet spot in both horizontal and vertical planes. This ensures compatibility for mixing music, dialog, or sound effects.

Suited For All Placements

When mixing, it's ideal for a room to have a 'flat frequency'. This means the room is not too bassy or not bass-less. The same goes for the highs. This is to ensure the most accurate mix as possible. Unfortunately, every room is different so this is rarely the case.

Fortunately, the GOLD 8 monitors come equipped to function in a wide variety of environments. HF trim control, and a rear panel filter switch is provided to adapt the monitor’s low-frequency characteristics for the effects of boundary conditions.

In short, you have control over the bass of the speaker to suit your room.

Class-AB Amplification

The Class-AB amplification in the GOLD 8 Monitors provide fantastic sound quality at all volumes with efficient power usage. This makes for a cool, silent listening experience.

Flexible Connectivity

GOLD 8 allows you to connect up to 2 audio sources simultaneously thanks to its continually-active XLR and TRS inputs, and assign Left or Right when connected to a 3.5mm TRS jack plug. Switchable intelligent signal sensing circuitry is included, ensuring that when your system is not in use, your monitors switch into an environmentally friendly, power-saving stand-by mode.
