Tannoy DC10A 사용자 설명서

DEFINITION DC10A OWNER’S MANUAL_03

Thank you for selecting a Tannoy loudspeaker developed in the UK by our dedicated team of design engineers. They are 
the choice of discriminating music lovers the world over. Musical excellence is designed into our loudspeakers from the 
start. Careful selection of the very best components combined with strict quality control procedures in the production 
process ensures this level of excellence is maintained.

To gain maximum performance from your Definition DC10As, please take time to read this owner’s manual in full before 
installation. Once you have set up your new loudspeakers please complete and return the registration document or register 
your product online at www.tannoy.com - this does not limit your legal rights.

Loudspeakers are electromechanical devices that ‘run-in’ through use; performance will therefore improve after an initial 
period of 24hrs use. Once they have been further run-in over a longer period, there will be clear enhancement of the stereo 
imaging, mid-band quality and bass performance characteristics.

We are confident that you will continue to enjoy your new Tannoy Definition DC10As for many years to come.

The powerful magnet system in the Definition DC10A will cause picture distortion with conventional CRT televisions and 
monitors, and should not be used in the close proximity. There are no issues with plasma, LCD or LED televisions or 
monitors.

The time coherent, point source and constant directivity nature of the dispersion characteristics inherent in the Dual Concentric 

drive unit makes it an accepted industry standard in studio monitoring. By exceeding the rigorous demands of the recording 

and mastering environment Tannoy can ensure that playback performance is strictly controlled to accurately reflect the 

sound engineer’s artistry. In nature all sounds emanate from a single point in space. The high frequency unit of the Dual, 

centrally mounted in the throat of the main mid/bass driver, is so positioned as to acoustically replicate this single point 

source; delivering an incredibly natural sound with a very wide imaging ‘sweet spot’ that creates an expansive soundstage 

with remarkably focused placement of images.

The DC10A’s 10” Dual Concentric driver is derived from the classic Duals found in some of Tannoy’s most successful and 

longest running Prestige series models. Powered by the highest quality Alcomax 3 Alnico motors, this classic driver magnet 

material has exceptional field strength and is electrically conductive. This minimises non-linear voice coil inductive effects and 

reduces micro distortions from eddy currents, leading to a sweet, natural and inherently coherent sound.

From instrument amplifiers to guitar pick-ups, Alnico is revered across the music industry for its musicality and dynamics as 

well as its ability to resolve low level information and texture in the music. Tannoy has long used Alnico drivers in its range 

topping loudspeakers to best reproduce every note and intonation that the musician intended - a realism rarely achieved by 

ceramic ferrite motor systems.

Mid-and low-frequency reproduction is handled by a multi-fibre cone, allied to the Alcomax 3 magnet assembly engineered 

to sit on the outside of the voice coils. This configuration delivers the greatest magnetic flux density across the poles, 

employing to full effect the smoothness and musicality of the Alnico magnet system. Each DC10A driver is hand assembled 

by Tannoy engineers before being tested and mounted into the cabinet with a unique bracing mechanism.

High-end components and a ‘simple straight’ philosophy combine to create a crossover with an ultra-clean signal path. 

Low loss laminated core inductors ensure optimum LF performance while the HF networks audiophile-grade polypropylene 

capacitors are acoustically damped using Tannoy ‘s Differential Materials Technology (DMT

) material. Non inductive metal 

film resistors are used in the high frequency feed. The Definition DC10A crossover sets the benchmark for signal integrity, 

reproducing music with all the articulation and intelligibility of the original performance.

The entire crossover assembly is subject to revolutionary Deep Cryogenic Treatment (DCT), achieving unparalleled

gains in resolution and creating a more natural, cohesive sound. Using a proprietary process, the Definition DC10A crossover 

is super-cooled to minus 190 degrees Celsius and returned to room temperature over a controlled period. This permanently 

reduces internal stresses in the microstructure of the crossover’s component materials, leading to better signal transfer and 

superior resolution of fine detail. One of the largest benefits is to the solder joints, which are traditionally an area of poor 
crystalline structure.
