The legendary studio monitor, reimagined by Manley

The Manley Tannoy ML10 is a legendary loudspeaker system, born from a collaboration to create the ultimate studio monitor. Combining a highly-sought-after Tannoy 10” Dual Concentric driver with an expertly designed, heavily braced Manley cabinet, the ML10 delivers an accurate, non-fatiguing, and musical sound that has made it a timeless classic among recording and mastering engineers.

The Best of British and American Engineering


The ML10 features the renowned Tannoy Dual Concentric driver technology, providing class-leading point-source imaging and perfect time alignment. This driver is housed in a dense, non-resonant Manley-designed cabinet, which offers extreme rigidity and eliminates unwanted resonance. The result is a monitor that faithfully reproduces every detail of your mix with breathtaking dynamics and clarity.

Designed for Sonic Purity and Precision


Every detail of the ML10 was meticulously engineered for sonic integrity. The bi-wireable crossover, hand-built by The Mastering Lab, ensures pristine signal transfer to the driver, while front-mounted treble controls allow you to fine-tune the monitor’s response to your listening environment. The flush-mounted driver and mirror-imaged cabinets provide a seamless soundstage with true symmetrical sound propagation.

A Legacy of Sound, Built by Hand


A true collectible in every sense, the ML10 was hand-built with the highest quality components and a commitment to acoustic excellence. It is an artifact of a bygone era, combining vintage technology with modern design to create a tool that continues to be revered for its musicality and accuracy. A testament to a legacy that has endured the test of time and remains a benchmark for sound quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Manley Tannoy ML10s are unique due to their combination of classic British and American engineering philosophies. They pair a legendary Tannoy Dual Concentric driver, which provides a single, perfectly time-aligned sound source, with a meticulously designed, heavily-braced Manley cabinet. This collaboration resulted in a monitor that offers exceptional phase coherence, point-source localization, and a highly musical, non-fatiguing sound that is prized for its accuracy and smooth response.

The Manley Tannoy ML10s are a highly efficient speaker, but they require a powerful and high-quality amplifier to perform at their best. A recommended amplifier power of 100 to 200 watts into 8 Ohms is ideal. Due to their design and the nature of the Tannoy driver, they perform exceptionally well with amplifiers that have a high damping factor and can deliver current on demand, ensuring tight control over the low-end response.

The Dual Concentric driver is a proprietary Tannoy technology where the high-frequency tweeter is physically placed inside the center of the low-frequency woofer. This unique "point-source" design ensures that all frequencies radiate from a single point in space, providing absolute time alignment and a highly coherent soundstage. This eliminates the phase and time issues that can occur with conventional two-way speaker designs, resulting in a more natural and accurate listening experience.

The front-mounted crossover controls on the ML10s allow you to fine-tune the high-frequency response of the speakers. This is a crucial feature for professional use, as it enables you to adjust the monitor's sound to match the unique acoustic properties of your listening environment. By allowing for subtle adjustments to the treble, you can optimize the speakers for your room and personal preferences without resorting to external equalization.

The Manley Tannoy ML10 and ML10A refer to different versions of the speaker, typically signifying an update or a change in components. The primary difference is often related to the specific Tannoy driver and the crossover design used. The ML10 uses the Tannoy SRM-B/SGM-B driver and a passive crossover from The Mastering Lab, while the ML10A, a later iteration, features a slightly different driver and may have some minor refinements to the crossover, though the core design philosophy remains the same.

Yes, the Manley Tannoy ML10s were specifically designed and engineered for the critical demands of professional audio production, including mastering. Their accurate, phase-coherent sound and non-fatiguing nature allow mastering engineers to make precise decisions with confidence. They provide a clear and detailed view into a mix, making them a trusted tool for a lifetime of professional use.
