Tannoy Reveal 502 5-stars Reviews

Great speakers

Excellent sound, best speakers for the money. Great for mixing, but also for music listening.

Awesome

Basses are little bit ahead but its okay, sound is awesome good for mixing and specially guitar playing.

Excellent

I had the reveal 402, already excellent, these 2 502 are almost same sound but with bonus. I bought them 99 each...a real real good buy

monitors

great monitors has good bottom end and som great detail in the high end

I'm very happy with these speakers!

For the price, this monitors have checked all the boxes for me. I use them in a home setting (not professional use) and I like the fact I can easily connect the PC or other small devices with analog mini-jack output. Sound is very good to my (not professionally trained) ears. They do hiss a little, I can notice when the room is completely silent, but it's probably the noisy power line, I don't have a power conditioning supply.

Overall, considering the price, I'm very pleased with the power and quality of sound of these speakers. The aesthetics are ok too.

great monitors!

this is one of the cheapest solutions in the segment of five-inch monitors, but very high quality, especially for its price. with proper acoustic treatment of the room, there will be a loud sound with a clear bass, moderate mids and highs

Great monitors for small room.

Very clean sound, unbelievable crisp. When there is low frequency in the material you will hear it. Same for the highs. Very very honest sound. Not really suitable for using with guitar sims, I would advise 8".

excellent !

I have them for 2 years and I am very satisfied, they are responinve and fully dynamic, even playing the bass trough them with plugins sounds clear and transparent

I use them in a home studio, I'm very happy with the product myself.

I recommend everyone who needs reliable and good sounding studio monitors for a low price

It's a monitor, it sounds great!!!! :)

Having hesitated about the size of the speakers I'd need, I decided to go with the smaller size (8" would have been overkill for my small control room) and haven't regretted it.

The monitors produce more than enough volume and just enough bass to have a great mixing experience. The front porthole is a nice feature, making it possible to place the speakers closer to a wall without nasty side-effects for the bass frequencies.

I'm mixing mostly heavier, guitar and drum oriented music and the frequency response for this kind of music is perfect. Enough mids, but not too boxy, clean, but not too harsh highs. I guess I could use a tad more bass, but I do think a dedicated subwoofer would serve me better for this purpose than an overall larger monitor, so I'm going that route.

The build quality on these is good, they're sturdy and heavy. And they look awesome :)

So in short, a great purchase, recommended for the low to mid budget home studio ar even as auxiliary monitor for professional, higher budget studio's.

Excellent

Excellent sound and build quality for their [roce

Great monitors for all uses.

I have been using a pair of 502s in my bedroom for around 18 months. They have been used primarily for recording/mixing as well as general listening and browsing (they are also hooked up to my Xbox One for when I play games).

There are many pros to consider when buying these monitors: firstly, the size means that they can fit into most rooms without taking up too much space (I used to have them on my desk, but recently moved them to speaker stands), while still sounding good. As they were purchased for a bedroom studio, 8" monitors would have been far too large as well as far too loud.

Secondly, they simply sound good. I can hear what my mixes sound like without having to worry too much about the frequencies being misrepresented by the speakers.

There are several other features, such as the variety of inputs that the monitor has - both balanced and unbalanced are available for hooking them up to an interface, or 3.5mm for plugging them into your PC or Laptop. Along with this, there is a switch that provides a high boost/cut, helping to tune the monitors to your room.

Overall, the monitors are high quality, feeling well build as well as sounding great. Having used high-end equipment at University, these are a steal for under £200!

Best monitors for the price!

I got a pair of these monitors like almost 2 weeks ago and I thought I shouldn't review them right away as I was tempted to do. Instead I've waited for almost 2 weeks so I can have a decent opinion about them.

Right when I plugged them in and threw some music, the first thing that spiked me was the power, godly they are loud. Also after setting them up in the right position and sit in the sweet spot, which is quite big, I had a revelation.

I will try to express my experience in the best words possible. Music sounded so spatial and clear, I could literally hear every instrument, identify it and tell how important was it to the song. I never had the feeling that I have 2 speakers in front of me, it was like I was in a room, the one created by the reverb, and actually listening to that artist singing.

Now getting more technical, bass can get really really low for their size, I never expected to go as far as ~50Hz and it's so tight and you can identify bass notes quite easily. At high volume you can actually feel it in the stomach a little which is amazing thinking they have 5" woofers.

Talking about mids, they are really present, but not more or less than bass or highs. You can clearly hear every instrument and the vocal is present and in your face when is the case.

Highs are well defined and not harsh, I can literally work for hours without feeling ear fatigue. They are not mushed or just white noise, you can hear every transient very clearly.

About stereo image, it's wow! There are no words to explain the feeling I had when I sit in front of them. You can place an instrument in the stereo field without any troubles, even the smallest pan can be heard. When you pan a little to the left/right you can actually hear it when it moves a little to the left/right.

The only downside could be the hiss. There is a small hiss from the tweeters. The good thing is it can't be heard if you stay at a minimum distance of 70-80cm in a really quite room and without music playing. As soon as you play music even at low level, you can't hear the hiss anymore so I guess there is a trade for good sound, but thank god it's not that bad as it sounds.

In conclusion, I can say it gives you the precision to mix your songs the way you actually want and they will translate really well on any other device. Keep in mind you need some time to adjust to new monitors, listen a lot of music before starting to mix, I guess it's quite obvious.

I really love them, best bang for the buck!

Translates very well

Excellent Monitors for mixing, translates very well to real playback. Easy to get get an accurate recording not too many surprises,a little tweaking in the bass area is all that is needed. Easy to set up, well worth the money why spend more.

GREAT MONITORS

Just Great monitors for their price, i've got the bundle where i had two monitors and a TC Electronic Level Pilot. Fantastic bundle. First of all it came all packed very good and safety. The monitors looks great an work perfectly, i heard a lot of good thing about them but you need to try to understand. TC Electronic Level Pilot works great and looks perfect on my studio desk. For my small studio just what i needed.

Tannoy never dissapoints me.

These are my second pair of Tannoy studio monitors that I have.

I bought these because I have Tannoy 6 series passive monitors and I assumed the quality would be equally good with these Reveal 502's.

Well I was pleasantly suprised, with these bad boys. The sound quality is great.

These are perfect for any producer who is working in a small/medium sized studio.

The highs and mids are clear. Bass is good for mixing.

What I like the most about this monitors is, that it has the aux cord option. Makes your life whole lot easier. You can just plug your laptop/phone/tablet to it and listen to music instantly. Reveal 502's are great, for just listening music too, you will have fun & pleasant music listening experience.

I'm very happy with my purchase.

Tannoy Reveal 502

a fantastic product. well packaged recieved in perfect condition. A fine solid speaker delivering a great sound, lovely definition with a great bass, very honest tone

Brilliant!

You won't get better for this price.

Really Rock Solid!

This might come as a bit of a joke at first but it isn't. 1 out of 2 was faulty when i received it. Just a loose screw which could have happened to any brands. I am waiting to receive my second monitor but still had a listen to them both together and what jumps at thee most is the imaging... absolutely out of this world. i had more expensive speakers before (that were too big for my room) and they could not even come close. here we are talking about being able to properly place the your sound/instrument in its own space. really handy when you have really busy tracks.

The next best thing are the bass to mid to high EQs (adjustable to your room) on these monitors which are absolutely well balanced so you can listen to your mix from low to high volume without losing any details or any punch... that also means that you are not going to get your ears tired by pumping it up all the time. But if you fancy pumping these up, you have to be warn that they can become pretty loud.

The only down side is the bass might be slightly hyped so unless i train my ears on them 1st i might not get spot on... but compares to the pair i had before, these are 10 times more accurate and for slice of the price these are a proper steal. these are as clear as the Yamahas, have a better image and don't have a too hyped bass like the KRKs. so if you don't want to spend £400/500 on a pair of monitors then get these.

Just the job!

These speakers are just what I'm looking for. Clear response a little brighter than my previous monitors but with the hi-cut feature, this helps me adapt to the acoustics of my, admittedly small room.

Just the job!
