About the Reveal 802
The Tannoy Reveal 802 is a professional-grade active studio nearfield monitor featuring an 8-inch custom high-efficiency woofer and 1-inch soft-dome tweeter, bi-amped with 75W RMS to the LF and 25W RMS to the HF for rock-solid bass and clear highs. Engineered with a tuned front-firing bass port for near-wall placement and optimal low-frequency performance, it offers a wide sweet spot for accurate stereo imaging during mixing. Inputs include balanced XLR (20kOhm), unbalanced 1/4-inch TRS, and 1/8-inch aux with monitor link capability. Rear controls provide volume adjustment and HF EQ for room tuning (+/- offset for treble balance). Housed in a ported MDF cabinet, it provides tight, well-rounded bass suitable for genres like hip-hop and EDM, with low distortion and natural treble response. Reviews praise its bass clarity and value, though some note subjective muffling in certain setups.
