Tannoy Reveal 402

I was ready to buy Yamaha monitors, but a sound engineer, a friend of mine, encouraged me to choose tannoy. At first, i felt sucker because they are pretty stiff, not so loud But! Whatever i mix with them is what i hear (at 70%) from any kind of speaker later. That is huge for me. I heard my mix from big speakers, with headphones, in the car ,from my laptops speakers, with small cheap speakers. Everytime the basic sound shape was there at scale. You can realy hear with them what you really mix. I gess bigger wofer (502, 802) will increase volume as well. For my 25 square meter studio 402 are just fine.

When I first saw these in the box I couldn't believe how small they were but immediately realised when I felt the weight of one unit that they weren't toy (computer)speakers.Good looking if not a little plasticky Couldn't wait to connect them up.
I ran them straight away on a Minibrute synth through a Behringer analog mixer and was very surprised to hear how they delivered incredibley tight low end bass lines.The brute loved 'em.Only one problem at a particular mid range frequency there seemed to be a slight buzzing coming from one of the monitors.I thought oh no!Here we go ..I mean they sound awesome (ok for the price and size am not comparing them to larger JBLs or Adams or whatever), and I dont want to have to send 'em all the way back to Germany before I even get started so I thought just give am a week then ring up if it continues.Yeah you guessed it I've put all sorts of frequencies through them Drum machines guitar and the only thing rattling has been my room!
Ok to be honest you wont get much Sub(I use my headphones for this) and the low end timing can be a bit slow" compared" to the EXCELLENT clarity at higher frequencies but if you alter the settings on the back (High cut-Neutral -High boost) this can be improved.They really punch above their weight in Quality and Price and as long as I never here that buzz again for a small studio I recommend them.Grab a pair.
