AJL999 Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Further Information: PRICE REDUCED: Well, it’s not pretty, but it’s brutally effective! Combine a Tannoy passive Definition 15i 15” sub with one of Kustom-Dek’s hand-built 2000w UCD mono amps, and you have a sub capable of 130db peak power, and will hold signal down to sub-sonic levels. The Tannoy is still available in the US at local cost of $1,850 – translating to around $$2,800 Aust. A mono 2000W Hypex UCD2K amp would probably set you back at least $1500. So total new cost would be around $4,300. My price - about 60% OFF RRP Link with stats for the Tannoy: https://www.newaudiovideo.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=11187 Stats for the amp: Rated power output 1x 2500 watts at 4 ohms 1x 1600 watts at 8 ohms 1x 2000 watts at 2 ohms Minimum load 1 ohm Efficiency 92 % Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) Distortion 0.02 % (20-20,000 Hz @ 0.5 x Rated power output) Frequency response. 10 - 50,000 Hz Gain 34 dB The amp takes an XLR input, and has a trigger In / Out. One of the screws on top had to be drilled out by me, as the female XLR socket in the amp has a ‘lock’ mechanism, so when I inserted the XLR cable it couldn’t be removed without taking off the top. One screw head stripped. LESSON: don’t push the XLR cable all the way in! Other than that the amp is perfect. Tannoy works great. One odd thing is the paint that was used on the diaphragm surround is a bit tacky. This is not a fault, but it does mean some dust has stuck to it. Sadly NO box, and as the Tannoy weighs 30kgs, pickup only. That said pickup can be arranged from Central Coast NSW (Umina) OR Neutral Bay. ** Around the same time I bought this I got a 15’ Revel sub. I was going to keep this and sell the Revel, but sadly the Revel developed a fault, which required replacing the amp. Cost estimated at $1.5K, so I replaced the Revel amp with a 300W plate amp. As a result, I will keep the Revel and sell this Tannoy. But I am selling the better of the two subs! ** * I will be away from 8th to 15th July and may not have internet access.... so pls be patient if I take a while to get back to you.
