Tannoy Reveal 802 Aktiv studiomonitor 1 st

Accurate Two-Way Monitoring for Serious Producers

The Tannoy Reveal 802 Active Studio Monitor is an 8-inch active monitor crafted for producers, DJs, and engineers seeking true sonic translation at a manageable price point. Created as a two-way bi-amplified system, this model uses a custom 203 mm woofer and a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter to span a frequency range of 42 Hz to 43 kHz. Each cabinet contains a 100 W bi-amp module with an active crossover filter, ensuring independent amplification for lows and highs to maximize clarity. Mixing electronic music, tracking vocals, or reference-checking tracks becomes more transparent with the Reveal 802, which exposes every nuance in your mix.

Active Crossover Tuned by Dr. Paul Mills and AUX Link Stereo Pairing

What stands out in this model's class is the active crossover network, tuned by Dr. Paul Mills, Tannoy's acoustic engineer, producing precise phase alignment and a notably wide sweet spot. The AUX Link feature is especially convenient — simply plug a phone or tablet into the 3.5 mm input, and the internal switching routes left and right channels to each monitor for instant stereo playback without an external interface.

Extended Low-End and Airy High-Frequency Detail

Monitor performance begins with driver design and frequency reach. An 8-inch woofer delivers extension down to 42 Hz, typically removing the need for a subwoofer in nearfield setups, while a soft-dome tweeter covers up to 43 kHz for detailed, fatigue-free highs during extended sessions.

• Woofer: 203 mm custom high-efficiency cone — delivers punchy, articulate bass without muddiness
• Warm, clear highs are reproduced by a 25 mm soft-dome tweeter, ensuring a comfortable listening experience at all volumes.
• Frequency Range: 42 Hz – 43 kHz — full-range coverage from sub-bass fundamentals to ultra-high overtones

Bi-Amplified Power for Clean Headroom at Any Volume

Each driver is powered by its own amplifier channel in the 100 W bi-amp module, which prevents intermodulation distortion and preserves tight bass even at high playback levels. Output up to 114 dB SPL is available, making this model suitable for medium-sized control rooms.

• Amplifier Power: 100 W bi-amp — separate amplification for woofer and tweeter ensures clean transient response
• The monitor achieves a Max SPL of 114 dB, providing enough headroom for your space without introducing compression artifacts.

Flexible Inputs and Room Compensation Controls

Professional studios benefit from versatile connectivity, and this monitor accommodates every typical requirement. Balanced XLR input allows for long cable runs from interfaces without noise, while an unbalanced 6.3 mm jack fits consumer sources. Front-firing bass ports help prevent low-frequency build-up when placed close to walls.

• Inputs: Balanced XLR, unbalanced 6.3 mm jack, 3.5 mm TRS aux — three connection types for interfaces, outboard gear, and portable devices
• Use the Adjustable treble attenuator to fine-tune high-frequency balance for your room and listening position.
• Cabinet: Wood construction, 390 × 254 × 300 mm, 12.8 kg — rigid enclosure reduces resonance for cleaner midrange reproduction

DJ Producers and Home Studio Engineers Stepping Up to 8-Inch Monitoring

The Reveal 802 is a fitting upgrade for DJs, beatmakers, and home studio owners moving up from smaller speakers who require true low-frequency reach in a medium-sized room. The combination of a front port and wood cabinet makes it practical for untreated spaces, and the AUX Link function transforms a pair into a convenient music system between sessions. If your workflow includes electronic production, podcast editing, or reference-checking, this monitor provides the transparency and headroom needed for confident mixing decisions.
