“Everyone who works at Tannoy has a long history of it. We are proud of our heritage and everyone feels like they are part of something unique,” ??said Tannoy’s Marketing Director Andrzej Sosna. “Our brand has such a long history that everyone uses its name in everyday conversation. In one sense, this is a huge advantage, but it can also be frustrating at times because the general public may think we only make loudspeakers. and sound reinforcement systems. Our cutting-edge achievements in high-fidelity speaker design are not always appreciated.”
Since joining Tannoy, Andrzej Sosna has witnessed tremendous changes in the company.
“Throughout the development history of Tannoy, the brand has survived several changes in the company and has survived to this day,” he said. “Guy Fountain retired in the mid-1970s and sold the company to the United States. It was at this time that we moved from West Norwood, London, to our current seven-acre site in Cotterbridge, on the outskirts of Glasgow, where we remain until 1981. The senior management invested to buy Tannoy and merged with Goodmans in 1987. Tannoy Goodmans International plc (TGI: Tannoy Goodmans International plc) has become the UK's largest loudspeaker design and manufacturing group. At that time, the group also included several other brands, such as Mordaunt-Short, Epos and Martin Audio, among others. In 2002, TGI Group merged with TC Group, and since then we have become part of TC Group. But then many brands, including Goodmans, were sold, and since then the group has focused on key brands and worked hard to leverage its core technologies. ”
TC Group manufactures electronic products for musicians, such as amplifiers, speakers, musical instrument pedals, etc. It also produces high-tech semiconductors. More importantly, it also owns an intellectual property portfolio, including a large number of digital Audio signal processing algorithms and digital amplifier technology.
The recent development of Tannoy's sound reinforcement system business shows that in a highly competitive market, Tannoy's strength in this field is becoming more and more powerful. Lang's Q-Flex modular installation loudspeakers use DSP to provide beam steering and shaping, allowing sound intensity to be concentrated in specific areas within large buildings, such as spaces within shopping malls or airport terminals.
