Tannoy was founded in London in 1926 by English engineer Guy R. Fountain as the "Tulsemere Manufacturing Company".The name "Tannoy" is derived from a combination of the words "'''Tan'''talum'' (metal) and "lead all'''oy''''" (alloy), materials from which Guy R. Fountain made rectifiers for radios.

Tannoy wurde 1926 von dem englischen Ingenieur Guy R. Fountain als "Tulsemere Manufacturing Company" in London gegründet.Der Name "Tannoy" leitet sich aus einer Kombination der Worte "'''Tan'''talum" (Metall) und "lead all'''oy'''" (engl. für Legierung) ab, Materialien aus denen Guy R. Fountain Gleichrichter für Radios herstellte.
 
      
 
      
In 1930, Fountain experimented with energized magnets, which led to the development of highly efficient loudspeakers and powerful amplifiers of up to 200 watts. The ever-increasing demand for high-quality equipment for radio stations, recording studios, concert halls and event centres meant that PAs became Tannoy's main line of business. During the Second World War, for example, the Royal Air Force's airfields were equipped with Tannoy loudspeakers, and the communications equipment in tanks and on submarines was also from Tannoy. In the second half of the 20th century, the UN headquarters in Paris, Geneva and New York, the Sydney Opera House and the Coca-Cola headquarters in Atlanta, among others, were equipped with Tannoy systems.

Im Jahr 1930 experimentierte Fountain mit unter Spannung gesetzten Magneten was zur Entwicklung von hochefizienten Lautsprechern und leistungsstarken Verstärkern mit bis zu 200 Watt führte. Durch die stetig steigende Nachfrage nach hochwertigem Equipement für Radiostationen, Tonstudios, Konzertsääle und Veranstaltungszentren stellte derartige PA fortan das Hauptgeschäftsfeld von Tannoy dar. Während des zweiten Weltkrieges z.B. waren die Flugfelder der Royal Air Force mit Tannoy Lautsprechern ausgestattet, die Kommikationseinrichtungen in Panzern und auf U-Booten waren ebenfalls von Tannoy.In der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden u.a. die UN-Haupquartiere in Paris, Genf und New York, die Oper in Sydney und der Coca-Cola Hauptsitz in Atlanta mit Tannoy Systemen ausgestattet.
  
At the beginning of the 1970s, Tannoy was sold to the American "Harman International Industries", only to be bought by the American "Beatrice Foods Company" in 1977. The latter sold Tannoy in 1981.
