Tannoy TA SERIES User Manual

The TA Series of power amplifiers from Tannoy is a compact and versatile line of three professional
power amplifiers ranging from 450 to 1050 watts into 2Ω, all using conventional toroid iron
transformers. To achieve a compact design of 325mm (13 ”) deep and 2 rack units
high, the latest semiconductor technology is utilised, together with a sophisticated copper
cooling system.
The sonic performance inherent in all Tannoy professional products, allied to comprehensive
features, ensure these amplifiers are ideally suited to all situations from fixed installations to
cost-effective live sound systems.
Advanced Chassis Design
Hum fields from conventional toroidal and C-core types of iron transformers have always
been a cause of problems in power amplifier racks. They tend to interfere with more sensitive
circuits in, for example, equalizers and active crossovers. Pioneering work on Electro
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) has lead to an advanced chassis design, within the Tannoy TA
series. Incorporating a sandwich construction of different iron materials minimises the
magnetic hum field.
