In the early days of broadcasting, radio

sets needed both low and high voltage

DC power that had to be supplied by

batteries. The lead acid batteries used

in the radio sets of the time needed

regular recharging.

In London, in 1926, Guy R. Fountain

perfected a new type of electrical

rectier with the aim of designing a

charger more suitable for use in the

house. His rectier consisted of two

dissimilar metals held in a special

electrolyte solution. One metal was

Tantalum and the other an alloy of

Lead. So successful was this invention

that Guy Fountain founded a British

Company called Tannoy (a contraction

of the words ‘Tantalum’ and ‘Alloy’).

Tannoy soon became internationally

known and highly regarded in all

aspects of sound reproduction.

Moving coil loudspeakers with DC

energised magnets began Tannoy’s

continued success in the eld of

loudspeaker technology. A discrete

two-way loudspeaker system followed

in 1933 and shortly after a range of

microphones and loudspeakers capable

of high power handling.

Tannoy has always been at the forefront

of the communications revolution,

developing its own equipment and

production technology. The company

built a fund of knowledge and experience

that has proved invaluable in the

development of loudspeakers for a truly

wide range of applications. The now

famous Tannoy Dual Concentric™

principle was created and developed

under Guy Fountain’s direction around

1950. It is highly regarded by music

enthusiasts, and recording and broadcast

studios because of its unique properties

in faithfully reproducing sound to a very

high quality standard.

TANNOY - A SHORT HISTORY

Guy Fountain retired from the company

in 1974, but the Tannoy company

continues his philosophy dedicated

to the accurate and realistic reproduction

of music for both enthusiasts and

professionals around the world.

The Tannoy Research and Development

unit has further rened the innovative

Dual Concentric™ principle. Using the

latest design and material technologies,

with sophisticated circuit techniques in

crossover design, Tannoy has produced

a loudspeaker system with superb

reproductive capabilities and

exceptionally wide dynamic range.

Tannoy is now part of the TC Group,

whose goal is to design, produce and

distribute the best engineered, most

recognised and respected brands of

high performance audio products in

the world.

The Kingdom Royal is a statement in

engineering excellence, hand crafted

to exacting standards and setting a

new reference for musical performance.

Distilling 80 years of Tannoy expertise

into a new agship loudspeaker

of unrivalled accuracy, musical

coherence and dynamic range.

Four years of extensive research,

cutting edge technologies, new

processes, and extensive design

detailing have resulted in the most

revealing and musically articulate

loudspeaker Tannoy has ever built.
