Tannoy speaker identification

[mikesignal]

Hi. Can anyone identify the model of this Tannoy speaker? I can't figure out if it's a red, red/silver, or something else. ThanksView media item 15648

It´s most likely a tannoy red missing it´s red plastic cover.

 

[mikesignal]

ok, thanks. Just picked up a large custom cabinet yesterday, and this was inside of it, along with a JBL 131, a JBL 175 horn, and an N1200 cross over. I know a little about the JBL's but nothing about the Tannoy.

Is that the Tannoy cone? If so that doesn't look like any Tannoy i've ever seen, certainly isn't a DC.

 

[mikesignal]

Yes, that's the Tannoy cone. I posted it because I cannot find any other Tannoy that looks like that. I'll try and post some other pics in a little while

If it was part of the contingent you listed above, my guess is that it is just one of their woofers and not a Dual Conc. How big is it?

More, better, pictures might help but I think it might be a Silver. However, the same thought that occurred to Drugolf also occurred to me. Tannoy did make non-DC woofers and this could be one of them, probably should be one of them given how it was being used. What's pushing me more toward thinking it's a Silver is the bit in the middle. To me it looks like a DC tweeter. (Better pictures might make me change my mind.)

Good luck. Great find.

That makes sense, as there doesn't seem to be a tweeter assembly on the rear of the magnet. There would at least be some terminals and wires back there, visibly, if it was a dual-concentric. No wires, no evidence of a diaphragm back-chamber, probably means a plain woofer.

Regards,
Gordon.

It's in a cabinet with a jbl d131, a jbl 175, and a jbl n1200 crossover. It was hooked to the low frequency terminals on the crossover with the d131

The terminals suggest pretty strongly this is a woofer only.

Plus. what Gordon says.

Here's a bit of info ( click the pic );

 

[mikesignal]

Thanks. That must be the speaker.
