So much so that the Oxford English Dictionary adopted the word Tannoy as the generic term for a PA system. Tannoy has always been at the forefront of the communications revolution, developing its own equipment and production technology.
The Sandringham In combining the best of traditional crafts with the latest production and design skills Tannoy presents the Sandringham SE loudspeaker. The Sandringham SE embodies the Tannoy philosophy. Cabinets in selected hardwoods are hand finished and polished to a standard that is unsurpassed.
Amplifier Connections Cable Choice Always use the best quality of cable available within your budget. High quality audio signals passing from the amplifier to the loudspeaker are unusual in their demands on the cable. Wide dynamic range and frequency bandwidth information has to coexist with the ability to transmit peak currents of at least 10amps, without incurring any loss or signal impairment.

'fast' signals. Of course, the loudspeaker must be fitted with two pairs of terminals to take the two sets of cables; your Tannoy loudspeakers are of course equipped for just this type of connection. Please note in bi-wire mode that the link leads, which are supplied in the accessory pack, should NOT be fitted.
Bi-Amping (See fig. 4) Bi-Amping extends the principle of bi-wiring one stage further. In this connection option separate power amplifiers are used for bass and treble signals in each loudspeaker. Four mono (or two stereo) amplifiers of the same type are required for a stereo pair of loudspeakers.

Running in Like all loudspeakers, the drive unit in your Tannoy Sandringham SE requires a while to reach optimum performance, as the stresses in the materials relax - especially in the suspension system. For this reason, it is beneficial to run the system at fairly high levels at normal room temperature, for approximately 20 hours to achieve best results.
Human hearing relies on the constant nature of the time delay with the intensity to locate natural sounds accurately. A pair of Tannoy Prestige loudspeakers can uniquely reconstruct stereo images and provide excellent localisation of recorded sounds.
Faultfinding Tannoy loudspeakers are designed and manufactured to be reliable. When a fault occurs in a hi-fi system the effect is always heard through the loudspeakers although they may not be the source of the fault. It is important to trace the cause of the problem as accurately as possible.
