About the Ellipse 8
The Tannoy Ellipse 8 is a high-performance 3-way active studio monitor designed for professional mixing, broadcasting, and post-production environments. It features an 8" (160mm) Dual Concentric bass/mid driver combined with a 1" (25mm) soft dome tweeter concentrically mounted, plus a dedicated SuperTweeter extending frequency response beyond 50 kHz. The system is powered by discrete MOSFET amplifiers delivering 150W to the low-frequency driver, 150W to the high-frequency driver, and 30W to the SuperTweeter, ensuring powerful, controlled output with low distortion (<0.8%). The elliptical laminated birch and MDF cabinet is acoustically and mechanically inert, with front bass ports to extend low-frequency response down to 40 Hz. The monitor incorporates analogue signal processing for flat frequency response and time-aligned drivers for excellent imaging. It has a maximum SPL of 118 dB at 1 meter and features a multi-function LED indicator for power and clipping status. Inputs are balanced on combined XLR/jack connectors with 22 kΩ impedance and 0.775 Vrms sensitivity. Dimensions are approximately 340mm high, 210mm wide, and 260mm deep, weighing 15 kg per speaker. The Ellipse 8 is noted for its wide sweet spot with 90° horizontal dispersion and is suitable for critical nearfield monitoring applications.
