Denmark (MuseWire) – TC Electronic has added Tannoy to the growing list of exceptional brands that it is distributing throughout Europe, China and Japan. Tannoy was founded in 1926. After supplying speaker systems to all of the British military installations throughout the war the brand became synonymous with high quality public address systems, and to this day is one of the most respected names in the audio world.

Tannoy continues to lead the way in the world of sound reinforcement and its products can be found within many prestigious installations, from the Sydney Opera House to London's Palladium theater. The company is also a dominant force in the studio arena, having produced several award-winning monitors for the home, project and professional studio. These include the Reveal and Precision ranges, which both employ the company's groundbreaking Active Assist software to ensure correct placement and maximum performance. Tannoy has also made a name in the residential market with leading solutions for hi-fi, home theater and digital entertainment systems.

TC Electronic is adding another quality, key player in the audio world to its distribution portfolio. Blue Microphones is a bespoke microphone company that manufactures a range of products that looks as good as it sounds. They also lead the way with cutting-edge design and technological innovation in the field of recording. The microphones encompass a wide variety of recording needs from studio to live applications, from Rock and Pop to Jazz and Classical and everything in between.

Blue Microphones designs and manufactures its own capsules, which are individually built and tuned by hand. There are no integrated circuits and the solid state and tube microphone amplifiers are based on a Class A, fully discrete circuit, employing a custom microphone transformer built and wound to Blue specifications.
