2.0: INTRODUCTION
Power V™ is a range of active sound reinforcement loudspeakers equipped with the Tannoy Dual Concentric™, point source,
constant directivity drive unit technology. By combining the ‘Dual’ with a sophisticated amplifier package integrated within the
speaker cabinet, Power V™ is aimed at installation applications where uncompromised sound quality and flexibility is essential.
In order to satisfy a wide scope of fixed or on the road sound reinforcement applications there are five full range models and
two subwoofers in the Power V™ range; Power V6, Power V8, Power V12, Power V12HP and Power V15; along with the
subwoofers - Power VS10 BP and Power VS15 BP.
The location of the high frequency drive unit, in the throat of the low frequency driver, ensures that the driver delivers constant
directivity and unparalleled linearity from a true point source.
The spherical wave front delivered presents an even dispersion in both horizontal and vertical planes, providing exceptional
off-axis performance and an even response throughout a wide listening area. Overcoming the time alignment problems inherent
in a discretespeaker design the constant directivity characteristics of the ‘Dual’ exhibits better harmonic alignment, delivering
a more natural sound with superb tonal balance and greater intelligibility. This highly integrated driver design approach provides
a constant time delay over the frequency spectrum ensuring enhanced transient performance and sound quality.
