Tannoy Reveal 402 Reviews

excellent

I'm not an expert on home studio gear and near field monitors, but from my perspective these are great

Clear. No apparent distortion or colouration. Good build quality (no loose or rattling parts). Weighty and solid.

Good features on the back panel.

They are small, so bass response isn't great, but that's to be expected with a monitor of this size.

Awesome Monitors!

I have owned these Tannoy Reveal 402 monitors for almost a year and they have provided me with sound I needed with no disappointments. I have used them as a part of Home Studio set-up connected with focusrite scarlet 6i6 to record and monitor my guitar and keyboards.

The sound is clear and loud enough for a small room studio, but when no sound is flowing you can still hear low noise coming out but it is nothing serious. These can also be used for other entertainment such as home cinema.

The price of these monitors are a great deal for the sound and the built quality.

Great compact monitors

These have served brilliantly for the time I've had them, currently used in a home studio set up. They are being sent back currently for a repair but hopefully once that's sorted they'll be back in working order and straight back to work!

The sound is surprisingly good for the speaker sizes, and the added features on the back are very useful. If you are after something with more punch i would go for the bigger size speakers. However these suffice for my needs perfectly. Highly recommended!

Unexpectedly good!

I bought these as reference speakers for my KRKs. They turned out to be so good that I am actually using for mixing certain tracks or even watch movies. Perfect for A-Bing with the brighter KRKs, but they have a hi boost if you don't want them flat. Their low end is unexpected for their size, stereo image is pretty good and so is the clarity. There is a little tiny hum when they're on but I was never bothered much about it.

Great value for money, perfect for an average home studio, excellent purchase, would definitely recommend them.

Great article

Great monitor which does exactly what I needed it for and at a very reasonable cost. Would certainly consider purchasing again if I ever needed more.

I bought these because they are cheap !

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that are in fact also really good . I did not expect that sound and detail for such low price . Actual decent monitors for super cheap !

A lilttlebit boxy in the mids

Beautiful look, qualty feeling absolutely good sounf for making demos, fastmixes or cross checks...

It is small, so no one can waits professional lows or ultralows, but it is not bad at all! The sound of the pair is a littlebit boxy, but still very clear and well defined, well articulated. For the money it is a good choice. Never compare it to a Genelec for example, but those are fare not better than more expensive.

Good quality

I'm using these speakers with my Dual dtj 301 turntable. For it has a built-in pre-phono, I can connect directly to the active speakers.

These speakers are very good built, Good looking and solid. Don't be fooled about their dimension! They have a lot of volume!!

The sound quality is professional, you can feel it, very defined in every shape. The only bug is that in my system I can't equalise, so sometimes their powerful basses are quite prominent...

I think overall they are a very good product at a very good price! If you can equalise the sound they're perfect!

An excellent pair of monitors, blended into my desktop setup seamlessly

Very happy indeed with these pair of monitors

Totally recommended!

An excellent product for your first studio monitors, if you haven't that extra space for bigger 5" monitors or if you're just tight on budget. Tannoys have a solid structure, enough connections and frequency range suits well enough for my needs at least (guitar recording mainly). Also liked this bundle with TC electronics volume control.

Downsides could be the lack of headphone jack and front side power switch, but the latter can easily be corrected with a switch-socket, Tannoys are active anyway.

Oh and have seen some reviews complaining about hissing sound, guess there is SOME, if you put your ears considerably closer. But who listens to monitors that close.. no one! I really recommend to give these a shot.

Wow Tannoy Reveal 402

Simply put the size is disproportionate to the sound quality these monitors produce. Exceptional and highly useful I would recommend them to anyone you will be very pleased indeed.

Nice!

Very good speakers to home.

Top Quality monitor!! Recommended for desktop use.

If you like to have HI-FI sound on your desktop this near-field monitor, in this price range is hard to beat!

Crystal clear higs, little laid back mids. Bass is amazing for this size of boxes.

For my room, even to much bass as I have wood floor, no concrete!

Bass is tight, rounded, just bit too loud for my liking.

Boxes are heavy, well made and beautiful.

Drawback-blue led light is very bright for overnight.

Tiny Tannoy Reveals

When I first saw these in the box I couldn't believe how small they were but immediately realised when I felt the weight of one unit that they weren't toy (computer)speakers.Good looking if not a little plasticky Couldn't wait to connect them up.

I ran them straight away on a Minibrute synth through a Behringer analog mixer and was very surprised to hear how they delivered incredibley tight low end bass lines.The brute loved 'em.Only one problem at a particular mid range frequency there seemed to be a slight buzzing coming from one of the monitors.I thought oh no!Here we go ..I mean they sound awesome (ok for the price and size am not comparing them to larger JBLs or Adams or whatever), and I dont want to have to send 'em all the way back to Germany before I even get started so I thought just give am a week then ring up if it continues.Yeah you guessed it I've put all sorts of frequencies through them Drum machines guitar and the only thing rattling has been my room!

Ok to be honest you wont get much Sub(I use my headphones for this) and the low end timing can be a bit slow" compared" to the EXCELLENT clarity at higher frequencies but if you alter the settings on the back (High cut-Neutral -High boost) this can be improved.They really punch above their weight in Quality and Price and as long as I never here that buzz again for a small studio I recommend them.Grab a pair.

I got these as a pair in a bundle for my home studio, they maybe small but the sound is much larger, I also like the fit & finish & would describe them as well made & good quality. I expect them to last very well. I would happily recommend them.
