POWERV12
Tannoy adopts a policy of continuous improvement and product specification is subject to change
POWERV12 data file // Issue: 1.06 // 15.01.08
The POWERV12 uses a high power handling 300mm (12.00”) version of Tannoy’s exclu-
sive point source, constant directivity Dual Concentric™ drive unit technology. The robust
chassis construction, an LF cone of reinforced paper terminated with a twin roll cambric
surround and a 25mm (1.00”) titanium domed, neodymium magnet equipped HF all
contribute high power output with high sensitivity. With the HF mounted in the throat of the
LF driver these two sources are coincidentally aligned into a single point source. This is a
configuration, exclusive to the Dual, delivers a smooth and uniform frequency response
over a wide area. The CAD designed Tulip WaveGuide™ combines 90 degrees conical
dispersion for optimum coverage, forward gain and excellent acoustic impedance
characteristics.
Delivering impressive levels of accuracy and performance, the POWERV12 is equipped
with a highly efficient, flexible and reliable Class D power amplifier incorporating a switching
power supply. The amplifier section and power supply were developed simultaneously and
therefore optimally matched to minimise noise and enhance stability. The power module
combines light, efficient and cool-running amplification, comprehensive driver protection
and equalisation into a single compact unit. Clean, undistorted sound is delivered, even
when driven at very high power levels. No cooling fans are required so the system runs
quietly and is not prone to internal dust contamination.
The POWERV12 capitalises on the integrated design concept as every component part
and their interaction is fully optimised. All signal processing functions have been precisely
tailored; crossover frequencies and slopes, EQ, phase corrections and limiting. LED’s on
the rear panel indicate signal presence, signal activity, and power. Signal input and audio
link are via XLR, while the mains connector is a Neutrik locking Powercon type.
A switch on the rear panel of the full range models allows selection between Full Range or
High Pass modes, with High Pass allowing a speaker to be mounted in close proximity to a
boundary or simply to increase headroom. High pass mode also enables a simple top box
and subwoofer combination to be created without the need for an external crossover. Two
low pass setting options on the subwoofer amplifiers fully optimise integration with the full
range units.
The POWERV12 is a high performance live sound reinforcement, high quality public
address or large scale music reinforcement loudspeaker. This versatile powered speaker
also has, due to effective acoustic matching to the other POWERV models, a wide range of
uses in fully integrated installations as diverse as nightclub infill, theme bars, performing
arts centres, high quality public address, theme parks, leisure venues, audio visual, houses
of worship, multi use stadiums and ‘dry hire’ rental.
Speaker placement flexibility is enhanced by the dispersion characteristics of the Dual
driver; allowing either vertical or horizontal mounting without any compromise to sound
quality or acoustic performance. Used as a low profile stage monitor, the conical coverage
pattern gives the performer greater freedom of movement off axis than allowed by
conventional horn loaded designs.
Available in black or white, the asymmetric cabinet profile is flexible and discreet in either
fixed installations or on the road.
