Reveal 402 : Excellent all round small monitor package.

6 years ago

I'm using the Tannoy 402 Reveal Monitors to connect directly to my 2015 MacBook Pro for Audio and all-round video editing and monitoring. The Reveal 402 has a four-inch bass/mid driver and a 0.75-inch tweeter, and the sense of stereo perspective is good, with a wide sweet spot. I use them in a small editing room, and this is where (IMO) they are best suited. In larger rooms or spaces they may struggle to make an impact.

I would have liked a little more volume from the speakers but given their size I think this is a fair trade-off. I use the TC Electronic level pilot to control the volume which I find works great with the speakers, as it is a physical volume dial it does introduce some interference when changing volume levels but I can live with this. Overall I am very happy with the investment. TH
