Tannoy Precision D active monitors will accept a standard SPDIF digital input, 

retaining the signal in the digital domain. In digital mode the SPDIF interface 

has both receive and transmit-onwards connections to enable loop through to 

the second speaker to preserve the SPDIF 75 ohm termination impedance.  

A three-position switch on each monitor speaker selects whether the speaker 

decodes the left or right channel of the digital stream. A true mono position is 

provided for monitoring the mono combination of the stereo signals, for example 

when monitoring programme material for off air mono broadcast and limited 

bandwidth radio transmission intelligibility. Balanced analogue inputs are also 

provided allowing either XLR or 3 way jack plugs. 0dBv corresponds to full 

output and a trim control op6dB to –12dB re 0dBv on both analogue 

and digital inputs (post DA converters)

Rigid cabinet design, point source, constant directivity driver, WideBand™ 

Technology and a powerful calibrated EQ facility combine to provide 

class-leading precision in studio monitoring.
