This IPPIN Guide is KINGDOM 15 of the young brother of the 70th anniversary model KINGDOM of TANNOY. (Satake) It is the big brother of KINGDOM 12 that I wrought "My Audio and Jazz History 9" And it is just the style of majestic dignity. That is the world of reality of high resolution and It shows a wide range and highly precise. (Kondo)
It is like this if we remove a saran net. How to remove this net is truly like TANNOI. (Satake)

In order to remove a network, first we must remove the screw attached to the backside of enclosure(upper left). In the direction under a saran net, a screw hole like an upper right photograph is vacant. If we insert in this hole the screw taken from the backside and pull it, a network will separate simply. (Satake)
	The backside is like this. It can remove, although three ports are vacant and sponge is contained. (Satake)
It is a reverse-side. It is a screw for removing the Patch network which is the lower of the upper plate. (Satake)
	If we remove sponge, black cloth is stretched. (Satake)
Sponge (Satake)
	There is a place which hooks something in the backside. (I do not know how to use) (Satake)
The reverse-side of a saran net. (Satake)
	It is a unit. The bottom is sub woofer and the corn type of 15 inch is attached. (Satake)
This unit is the coaxial good at TANNOI. Coaxial 2 way of 10inch+ Compression driver. (Satake) Since the crossover of super tweeter added to a central coaxial 2 way dual concentric is 15KH(s), It is assistance of super-high-range. On "the king dam 15", wide-range-ization is pursued more. (Kondo)
	Tweeter is aluminum dome type super tweeter. (Satake)
It is the control part of tweeter. We can substitute and adjust this terminal. (Satake)
	It is the control part of Woofer. The method of adjustment is the same as Tweeter. (Satake)
Since Tweeter was useless this time, we removed the hidden board. (Satake)
	Since the back board is stopped with many screws and it had adhered with adhesives, having removed was quite serious. (Satake)
The back of the coaxial and tweeter is covered with the box. As for KINGDOM 15, a thing like 'Futon' is contained in the sound-absorbing material. (Satake) A framework uses the high-density MDF material used in studio series. Weight is 130kg. (Kondo)
	It just saw sub woofer from R back. They are fairly simple contents. (Satake)
We can see the backside of a control part on the woofer. (Satake)
	It is a network. It is unreserved, it has placed and a sound-absorbing material like 'Futon' was put on the top. (Satake)
This is the back side of a terminal. (Satake)
	Internal wiring is VAN DEN HUL cable. (Satake)
This is the reverse-side of a back board. The place of black cloth is a port. The screw which removes a network is in the reverse side with a slanting board. (Satake)
	They are the metallic ornaments on the reverse side which can be scratched. (Satake)
It is the portion of a speaker terminal. It is Bi-wiring use. (Satake)
	It is the portion of decoration of the border of a front.
It is the portion of top. The black of enclosure is painted in the lusterless paints. The grain is processed very finely. It is considerably different even if compared with the color of an inside one. It is craftsman work. (Satake) High rigidity enclosure structure has released profound textures which are overwhelmed. They are a grave character and the refined modern design. (Kondo)
I felt the England for the frame of the tree which borders a saran network, the plate, etc. Moreover, I also felt a prejudice for the screw for removing the saran network which arranged the "key" which gets across to TANNOI from generation to generation. (Satake) Although British TANNOI has the Westminster royal which symbolizes tradition and classical, I feel the flow to a clearly new generation. Of the "KINBDAM" and the "KINBDAM 15" Dignity is drifting to grand inside. It will be continuing giving the joy which it has in owner, even if it passes through ten years and 20 years. (Kondo)
