I personally own a pair of Tannoy’s studio monitors and have used many of their products in different studios in which I have worked. Tannoy makes saddle systems to allow for the flying of up to 4 V6 speakers in addition to typical wall mounting brackets. This allows for placement of speakers under balconies, in ceilings above choir lofts and other out of the way places.

Tannoy actually recommends placement in tight places such as under stages and in corners.Ĭertain VPower Series speakers can be flown with optional Tannoy hardware, and the V6 and VS10BP fall into this category. This allows for very flexible placement of the sub. Using a hex wrench, one can easily change the ports from front firing to side firing. One set is on the side of the speaker and the other is located on the front. The speaker actually has two sets of output ports. The VS10BP has one unique feature that I almost missed upon first inspection.

The VS10BP yielded similar results, robust but not overly heavy (a trait most of us will appreciate). Even with its small size, the V6 feels quite solid. The V6 is not very large compared to the speakers I usually carry around. When I first received the speakers, I was a bit taken back by the size of the V6. Power output ratings are 200w and 400w for the V6 and VS10BP, respectively. The VS10BP has a similar switch, however, it selects a low pass of either 110hz or 80hz.

The V6 has a switch that allows the user to select full range or high pass operation (high pass of 110hz). This twist lock power cable is starting to replace the older IEC power cord that can sometimes come unplugged. One very nice feature is the addition of a Neutrik Powercon connection. The V6 and VS10BP rear panel has XLR input and output jacks and an attenuation knob for setting levels. The VS10BP is 14” x 14” x 23” and weighs a mere 39.6 pounds. Weighing in at 18.7 pounds, the V6 is only 13” x 9” x 9”. Both the mains and subwoofer are powered, however, Tannoy does make passive versions of each. All speakers come in black and white versions, giving the end user an option if working with an install. I much prefer this to the typical carpeting found on most speakers in this price range. All speakers in the series are finished with a durable, textured paint.

The VS10BP is a 10” subwoofer with interchangeable ports. The PowerV6 is a 6”, Dual Concentric™ speaker with a 90-degree dispersion. I received a pair of the Tannoy PowerV Series V6 speakers and a single PowerV VS10BP subwoofer. Their latest offering, the VPower Series was unveiled at this year’s Plasa show and they graciously sent TFWM some speakers to take for a spin. Tannoy has long been known for their high quality studio monitors and is now venturing into the live sound arena.
