Torus Ogive Waveguide
Shallower waveguide with a more 
aggressive flare allows rapid 
expansion of the acoustic wavefront 
through the mouth of the bass driver. 
Articulate and precise reproduction, 
both on and off-axis, are provided 
through closer acoustic-centre 
alignment and phase coherence.
Omnimagnet technology
High frequency and low frequency 
drive units utilise a single shared 
magnet, offering improved time 
alignment and coherence. A 
completely new interpretation of 
Tannoy’s proprietary point source 
drive unit design philosophy.
Ogive phase plug
Ogive refers to the mathematical 
definition of the streamlined, ‘rocket 
cone’ shaped phase plug in the 
waveguide assembly, which assists the 
critical shortening in the propagation 
path of the acoustic wavefront.
High frequency Torus dome
Torus refers to the donut shape of 
the HF diaphragm. Within the design, 
the HF ‘dome’ and the precision 
engineered Torus Ogive Waveguide 
are brought further forward, providing 
wider high frequency directivity.
The parameters available to achieve a high level of audio 
performance are dictated by established acoustic design 
principles. Any improvement to an already impeccable 
driver design is therefore a tough challenge. Utilising the 
latest electro-acoustic research and tools, this was the task 
for Tannoy’s team of highly experienced engineers whilst 
developing a new drive unit for the Revolution XT series.
 
The Omnimagnet Dual Concentric is a completely new 
interpretation of Tannoy’s proprietary point source drive 
unit philosophy; a major milestone in more than 65 years 
of the company’s audio research and development. A 
revolutionary new HF diaphragm and waveguide have 
been combined with  a single magnet to deliver notable 
performance advantages.
 
Providing wider high frequency directivity, the HF 
diaphragm and the precision engineered Torus Ogive 
Waveguide™ have been brought further forward. Based 
on innovative new patent pending design principles, the 
shallower waveguide improves LF performance, giving more 
headroom and enabling a higher crossover point. Essential 
to achieving the desired directivity improvements, the 
wave-front expands at faster rate, delivering articulate and 
precise reproduction, both on and off-axis, through closer 
acoustic-centre alignment and phase coherence.
