from Record producer / br Summary: Powerful, warm and able to be a reference-class A-monitor in medium-sized musicstudio or large broadcast controlroom.
Provided it is built into a non-reflecting, dampened wall. This gives the speaker a much better bass response and enhances the lows to 25 Hz making it more linear in it´s overall frequency response, which is very, very flat by the way.
Pictures and complete info (the original folder) can be viewed at: http://cybermax.tmfweb.nl/tandberg/studiomonitor.htm Strengths: Very good speaker to mixdown acoustic music in a studio, more than powerful to recreate the transients in modern dance / techno music.
Superb low and high frequencies, overall low distortion, but especially on loud high frequencies.
I haven´t been able to overload it so far, what DID happen to my ears...
A fine speaker to listen to your amplifier when it hits rock bottom due to lack of more power, the Tandberg seldom sweats on loud audio. It´s a giant. Weaknesses: Standing in a normal room (livingroom) the sublow loses somewhat and 250Hz gets a little enhanced, placement is crucial.
3D positioning and depth is only truly achieveable with a powerful amplifier.
I use a Luxman SQ507 (build date 1969..)on the pair in the studio, they sound super together, and a Marantz in my livingroom.
The marantz has to go... it´s not powerful enough for the Tandbergs there (yes, i have 2 pairs).
But it was helpful to find the 3D weaknesses in the Studio Monitor, because there are so few to be discovered..... Similar Products Used: Klein & Hummel OY studiospeakers, Tannoy PBM 6.5, Yamaha NS 10, HECO Interior
