ABOUT SYMPHONY DISTRIBUTION

Salisbury-based Symphony Distribution is a new British company dedicated to the distribution of Tannoy loudspeakers in the UK. The company is committed to increasing the profile and availability of the legendary Scottish loudspeaker manufacturer and enjoys Tannoy ‘Super Partner’ status.

ABOUT TANNOY

Established in 1926, Tannoy is the fifth-oldest hi-fi company in the world. Based in Hamilton, Scotland, Tannoy was founded as the Tuslemere Manufacturing Company in 1926 by Guy Fountain and by 1928, had changed its name to Tannoy, which was derived from the materials used in the manufacture of its rectifiers: Tantalum/Lead Alloy.

The company’s early products were in the automotive and public address system sectors and later, Tannoy played a huge role in the war effort (World War II) with its public address systems being used for Prime Ministerial speeches, including those by Winston Churchill.

Following WWII, the word ‘Tannoy’ was immortalised and added to the English Oxford Dictionary because of its huge significance to the UK and the company’s famous Dual Concentric Driver was invented – a system still used to this day.

Tannoy’s legendary heritage is echoed in its products today, its hi-fi loudspeaker products are still designed and built in Scotland, almost a century later.
