Our editorial take on the Tannoy Gold 5
The Tannoy GOLD 5 is a 200W active 2-way studio reference monitor designed for professional use in recording, broadcast, and postproduction. Its Dual Concentric driver design aims for a coherent soundstage, while front-firing bass ports may assist with placement flexibility in smaller studios. With continually active XLR and 1/4" inputs, it facilitates simultaneous connection of two audio sources.
Built-in high- and low-frequency adjustments provide basic acoustic tailoring for different environments. The 5-inch woofer and 0.8-inch titanium compression tweeter deliver a frequency response of 70 Hz to 20 kHz (±3 dB) and a maximum SPL of 107 dB. Its black and gold aesthetic offers a distinct visual.
While offering core professional features, this monitor lacks advanced digital connectivity or acoustic correction tools found in some higher-end alternatives. For those prioritizing a classic Dual Concentric design and essential I/O for a compact professional setup, the GOLD 5 presents a relevant option.
- Dual Concentric driver for potential phase coherence
- Front-firing bass port allows for more flexible placement
- Simultaneous connection of two audio sources via active inputs
- Onboard HF and LF shelving EQ for room adjustment
- Relatively high total power output for its size (200W)
- Limited frequency response extension at the low end (70 Hz at +/-3 dB)
- No digital audio inputs or network connectivity
- No USB or wireless functionality
- No phase adjustment or advanced room correction features
