Tannoy Arena Lite User manual

Arena Lite is a special edition to the Arena family designed to
make Arena’s inspirational style and award-winning performance
more affordable than ever. The same stunning looks, the same
precision build quality and the same award-winning sound, but
now offered as an affordable ‘Lite’ package with the wide choice
of Arena accessories available as optional extras.
Core to Arena and Arena Lite systems, the beautifully formed
satellite speakers feature Tannoy’s point source Dual Concentric™
drivers
and WideBand™ technology for the ultimate in small
speaker performance.
Reassuringly weighty, the precision-cast
alloy enclosures are finished with a soft-touch baffle and
high-gloss coachwork to maintain Arena’s designer chic throughout.
The Arena Lite package comes with Tannoy’s potent yet discreet
TS10 subwoofer. This compact sub features a 300 Watt amplifier
and 10 inch bass driver to deliver a huge home cinema punch
and is tuned to seamlessly integrate with the satellite speakers.
With Arena Lite satellites and centre speakers available in piano
black or deep-lustre silver, owners can create wholly unique
colour ways by mixing and matching optional rubber baffle trims
(see accessories for colour options), wall brackets, stands and
speakers grilles. A huge variety of colour combinations are possible,
from subtle shades to dramatic contrasts, making Arena Lite the
flexible and affordable way to own Tannoy’s flagship compact
loudspeaker system.
The Arena system combines sublime performance with
design perfect for contemporary home entertainment.”
Home Cinema Choice
the essential arena

technology inspired design
Behind the elegant and precision crafted form of the Arena
satellite speakers lies cutting edge audio technology. Tannoy’s
acclaimed Dual Concentric™ driver design is further enhanced in
the Arena with WideBand™ technology. Combining a rigid
titanium dome and neodymium magnet the WideBand™ tweeters
deliver pin-point imaging and smooth high-frequency extension
to over 50kHz.
Ideal for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD audio formats on Blu-ray
and HD DVD discs, the extended bandwidth provides a superbly
focused soundstage and wide dynamic imaging of special effects
to fully immerse you in the movie or music experience.
The Arena satellites are accurately timbre-matched allowing
action to pan seamlessly around the room, while the dedicated
centre channel speaker is enhanced with a supplementary bass
driver giving outstanding tonal depth and clarity to dialogue.
Each Arena shell is constructed from heavyweight alloy to inhibit
cabinet derived colouration and the curved shape reduces internal
standing waves to almost zero. This celebrated driver and cabinet
technology has seen the Arena system gain considerable international
acclaim, winning Best Buy awards and five-star reviews consistently
for over three years.
With just the essential ingredients, Arena Lite makes this award
winning combination more affordable to own than ever.
As if to mirror the precision build and fastidious attention
to cosmetic detail, the sound is polished, articulate and
staggeringly detailed.”
