20 Most Recent Tannoy Reveal 5A Speaker Questions & Answers

Derrick, not all cabinet speakers were meant to be replace, not saying it can not be done, but they could be epoxied in. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."

As long as it is only the speaker that is playing up and not the amp. Then more that likely it will be something on the crossover circuit that is the problem. If you look at that and see semi-conductors (transistors, IC, etc) on it. Then one or more of them could be the problem.

Hi,low hum from monitor speakers are usually when there is not shield connected to the cables your using for connections. Also it might be from the power light,if there is no earth or ground connected before connecting the power source in that room.

So you will need to check the cabling properly and check how the (sleeve, tip and ring) are connected and also check the power outlet,if the (red,black and yellow or white) are connected properly.

after checking those if they are OK,that means the fault will be from the speaker itself.\

Just do a proper troubleshooting.

Check the gain structure through the board.
Check all the mix bus assignmentsie what is routed to the masters.
Normally hiss can be reduced with good gain structure and ensuring all not being used is correctly turned off.
Test the speakers with another suitable source
If the speaker are less hissy on the alt source and you have checked all the mixer gains and eq, it is possible the board is noisy because of some component failure. Try audio isolation transformers on the output of the board, beg or borrow a good quality pair first to test, as they are expensive.

Thanks for using FixYa, I hope this if its useful

Speaker impedance of 8 ohms suggests home hifi use though the stated performance is typical of a bookshelf speaker, designed to be at the "reasonable" end of the market - reasonable performance, reasonable quality, reasonable cost and suitable for a wide range of volume settings at the lower end of the scale... Constructor catalogues generally offer a wide range of loudspeaker drive units including tweeters and mostly provide pictures. If you want to avoid modifying anything simply choose one that looks like yours and then check the description fits.

The speakers consist of an induction coil, and a magnet attached to the cone. You have damaged something internally or the cone itself. Speakers don't have fuses unless they are powered speakers with mains input and an amplifier. You need the speaker repaired or replaced.

If the company say they are no longer made, then it's unlikely you will find replacements in any electrical parts supplier. If you still want to use the unit then you will have to look around for one on places like e-bay, which might be faulty elsewhere , but have a working tweeter. A search on e-bay itself might even reveal a spare tweeter! Or a second hand that's cheap to replace the one you have. At least you will another set of spares (except tweeter of course) for the new one!

Two suggestions: They're old how old I can't tell I'd go to their web sight and see what you can find. Sorry that's best I can do.

I would say from your description that the tweeters are blown. Can you take the speaker that sounds good and swap it out with one that sounds bad. If you do that and the good one still sounds good. You have a tweeter problem. And they would need to be replaced.
