Tannoy Reveal 802

He usado varios monitores anteriormente, tanto activos como pasivos, entre ellos algunos de la misma marca Tannoy (concretamente el modelo Reveal 601p).

Estos Tannoy 802 tienen un sonido detallado y equilibrado, bastante neutral y que no cansa incluso tras periodos largos de escucha. La publicidad no miente en lo que respecta a los graves, que siempre se oyen con cuerpo pero también precisos, y no "ensucian" el sonido. En general el sonido es menos "seco" que por ejemplo los Yamaha HS7 que también tengo, y dan menos problemas para hacer que suenen bien en el estudio (los Yamaha están muy bien pero son más "puñeteros" en su colocación). Por tanto, en el apartado de sonido, están realmente muy bien por el precio.

También tienen una buena nota en las características: reflex frontal, control de agudos (aunque no de graves) y entradas jack y XLR, que pueden usarse al mismo tiempo, a diferencia por ejemplo de los Yamaha HS7.

En lo que dejan algo que desear es en el tema de la fabricación. El amplificador interno es ruidoso, y se oye un leve zumbido y ruido cuando están encendidos, aunque el volumen esté al mínimo. Cuando hay sonido no se nota, pero estando en silencio o con pasajes muy suaves, es molesto, al menos para mí. Creo que un producto que pretende ser de carácter profesional debería haber solucionado este problema. No creo que sea muy complicado ni costoso poner la circuitería adecuada o el aislamiento de la señal correspondiente para eliminar este ruido de fondo, ya que muchos otros monitores, incluso más baratos, no lo tienen. Tampoco estaría de más poner la circuitería de protección necesaria para evitar el "clic" (en ocasiones bastante fuerte) que muchas veces se oye al apagarlos, y que me hace temer por la durabilidad de los altavoces. No creo que sea de recibo en un producto de esta gama, ya que no estamos hablando de unos simples altavoces de escritorio para un PC.

En resumen: muy bien en sonido, pero con deficiencias inexplicables en el apartado de fabricación.

Ok first of all i just want to say that Thomann is very nice, i made an order and i called them to change the oder, the new order actually costed more and Thomann did it without even charging me the extra money. they where very helpful and they do whatever it takes to please their customers so thanks for that Thomann.
Now about the Tannoy, I know there's a thing about hissing sound that many people talk about and i think i know what is going on. Tannoy reavel speakers come with an aux input for Smartphones, laptops, tablet, and therefore the input is very high or very loud in order to play music from Smartphones that have a very low output so in my opinion this is the reason of the hissing that when very quiet can be heard from almost 1 meter away. after testing a little i realized that if you turn down the volume from the back of the speakers to about 40% the problem is gone and i can still get them to play as loud as their limit with my sound card without even pussing my sound card to its limit. so in my opinion there's not any problem at all as there is not hissing when you set their volume to about 40 % or even a bit more.
The sound is really nice and i don't understand why this speakers aren't very popular, i own Yamaha hs7 that all thay play is midrange that drill your ears and i would say Tannoy are 100 times better, i also owned some alessis and behringer and heard many speakers.
Tannoy reveal 802 sound perfect to my ears of course, the bass very satisfying the trebles are very clear and midrange clear but not harsh. this speakers can play very loud and they still sound sweet without any frequency been annoying or harsh.
for me they worth much more than other studio monitor that are much more expensive.
Thanks Thomann you are the best !

Hello Thomann community,

This will be my first review and shit I am so happy!

These guys are so heavy, they are each 14 kilos and oh boy you can hear that they are heavy and you gonna like it!

The packaging was perfect, they arrived in big parcels and in it there was another parcel with the Tannoy brand. It took 13 days for them to arrive, and I live in Turkey, so it was super fast. The monitors was looking like untouched and in a super condition. So 5 starts for that too!

When they first arrive to my place, I was kinda scared, because these guys are so big and so powerful. I wanted to try them at their highest voice level, but I guess no one can do that, because even at %75, it was so loud that even the walls were vibrating with the bass. It was like I had to turn them down after this, because I was kinda scared. I did sit in front of them and try to convince myself that I am the alpha of the room, but shit I was wrong.

Low basses are perfect with these guys, and clearest mids and super strong but not too bright highs. I can hear that every voice is coming from another side of the room, so staging is great too!

Only con that I can point out is that there is no bass-trim, but you'll get hi-boost and hi-cut anyways, so there is no actual con!

My next goal is to buy a good DAC and getting ready to stepping up my monitor game, and I will definitely use Thomann for this!

And also I wanted to thanks Thomann for replying my mails so fast, and giving me lots of information on the phone and for being kind all of the time!

5 stars for all aspects!
