SATURN by

From day one, more recording studios in Europe and the USA have chosen Tannoy monitors. When it really matters, artists
and recording professionals trust Tannoy to deliver a sound that gets as close to the performance as possible. It’s this
dedication to sound integrity that Tannoy designs and engineers into every speaker carrying their name.

COMPLETE VERSATILITY
The Saturn range allows you to tailor a two channel stereo system or a full home cinema system to your own requirements.
Three floor-standing models – S6, S8 and S10 – cater for a wide variety of room sizes and power handling considerations.
The S6LR and S8LR may be used as rear effects or as a stand mounted stereo pair, while the S6C and S8C are both fully
magnetically shielded centre channel speakers.
