Designed to serve the demanding needs of professionals in recording, broadcast, and postproduction environments, the Tannoy GOLD 8 is a 300W Dual Concentric studio reference monitor that provides an accurate, uncolored representation of your audio. The Dual Concentric driver ensures a near-perfect point source, preserving the tonal character and harmonic structure of program material as no discrete-driver system can.
Great for recording, editing, mixing, or mastering, the GOLD 8 offers numerous enhancements including a front-firing bass port, which allows you to place the monitors close to a wall without issue, and make high- and low-frequency adjustments to further tailor your sound. The GOLD 8 features continually active XLR and 1/4" inputs, allowing you to connect two audio sources simultaneously. For a simplified setup, you can connect a stereo signal to the 3.5mm TRS input, use the L/R switch, and pass thru to the 3.5mm Monitor Link port, which connects to an additional monitor. A power cord is included.

- The duty of any amplifier is to take a small input signal and turn it into a louder output that maintains the characteristics of the original signal, and to be large enough to meet the demands of the loudspeaker it drives.
- While Class-A amplifiers sound great at low volumes, they waste a tremendous amount of power that is lost as heat when asked to output hundreds of watts. And even though Class-B amplifiers are much more efficient, they tend to bring a great deal of distortion to the mix.
- A Class-AB amplifier combines the linear performance of Class-A with the higher efficiency performance of Class-B, producing a much better amplifier design for loudspeakers used in critical listening environments.
