Studio Monitors

SYSTEM 12 DMT II

Designed for midfield use in major studios or as a main monitor for smaller control rooms and mobile studios, the System 12 DMT II offers the more critical engineer accurate, reference sound quality for music or broadcast monitoring. State-of-the-art design and material technology have advanced the System 12 DMT II a long way from its predecessor, the industry standard 'Tannoy Little Red'. With the latest enclosure and crossover construction these new phase coherent 12 inch Dual Concentric systems offer exceptional transparency and pin point stereo accuracy making them fatigue free and consistently reliable for short or long sessions.
