TANNOY VX/VXP: SERIES SPEAKERS

摘要

Tannoy has paired its Dual Concentric driver design with amplification powerhouse Lab.gruppen, giving a fresh boost to a household name in PA. Tannoy has a long history that speaks for itself. The name itself outgrew the brand as early as World War II when public address systems colloquially became 'tannoys' even though the name is actually an abbreviation of the Tantalum-lead alloy company founder Guy Fountain invented and used to make a solid-state rectifier. Tannoy has done a lot since its inception in 1926, including the long-term development of speakers using the trademarked Dual Concentric driver. In 2002 Tannoy became part of the TC Group of companies that includes TC Electronic and Swedish amplifier manufacturer Lab.gruppen. A lot of companies are buying up brands to create natural synergies, and with plenty of competing products powered by Lab.gruppen, it makes sense to combine the Swedish company's amplification dominance with Tannoy's household name status in PA. Hence the development of the VX/VXP range of professional loudspeakers designed for live sound or installations.
