INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Tannoy Ceiling loudspeaker.This product range is suited for highlevel music and speech reinforcement applications requiring exceptional sonic quality with uncompromised reliability.

UNPACKING

Every Tannoy product and accessory is carefully inspected before packing. After unpacking, please inspect your product to make sure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of any damage, would you please notify your dealer immediately and retain your shipping carton, as your dealer may ask you to return the faulty unit to them for inspection.

Each CVS loudspeaker is packed in pairs and provided with the following accessories as standard; C Ring, tile-bridge kit, grille, cut-out template, and paint mask. A plaster (mud) ring is also available as an optional extra.

SAFETY NOTICES

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in ceiling to provide security of a backup support. A secondary support line should be attached from the safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the ceiling. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

When using a power driver to install the product it is essential to use the correct torque level settings to avoid over tightening and damage to the ceiling material or clamps

Recommended torque setting: 1.5Nm

Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these loudspeakers.

Electrical Safety Notice: to comply with the standard UL1480 , metal-clad flexible conduit (BX) is required for connection to the terminal block for proper earth grounding.

SAFETY NOTE:
In order to comply with the relevant fire safety regulations (ie. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of fire, that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before evacuation of the building is complete. Suitable measures include: –

a) use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example constructed from ceramic materials;
b) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation;
c) use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

ACCESSORIES:





  • Note:
    A tile bridge kit must always be used when installing into suspended ceiling tiles


Optional Accessories


MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SUSPENDED CEILINGS

  1. Remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it on a flat surface. Mark the cut-out area on the ceiling tile by tracing around the template provided.


  2. Cut out the hole in the ceiling tile using a circular saw or pad saw.


  3. Place the C-ring and tile-bridge on top of the ceiling panel, aligning the C-ring over the hole, and screw the C-ring to the tile bridge using the fixings provided. ****

  4. Slide the speaker assembly through the hole and turn the screws on the front of the speaker to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm grip is achieved.


    If using a power driver, Tannoy recommends a torque setting of 1.5Nm.
    DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

  5. Slide the tile panel back into the suspended ceiling. The tile bridge ends will catch over the railings, supporting the weight of the speaker.


  6. Connect a Secondary Support Line to safety tab. Some construction codes require use of this secondary support point, which should connect to a separate secure support point using a suitable support line. Consult construction codes in your region.
    Go to section 7 for instructions on wiring and set-up instructions.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SHEET-ROCK (PLASTER BOARD) CEILINGS

  1. Mark the cut-out area on the ceiling by tracing around the template provided.


  2. Cut out the hole in the ceiling using a circular saw or pad saw, then slide the C-ring into the ceiling, aligning it over the cut-out hole.


  3. Go to section 7 for wiring and set-up instructions then return to point 4 below.

  4. Slide the speaker assembly through the hole and turn the screws to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm grip is achieved.
    If using a power driver, Tannoy recommends a torque setting of 1.5Nm.

  2. Insert grille by pushing it onto the speaker.

WIRING AND SETTING UP:

  1. Open the wiring cover at the back of the speaker can to access the Euro type connector plug and socket.


  2. For connection to an amplifier, use pins 1 and 2:

    • Pin 1 is positive

    • Pin 2 is negative
      For connection to additional speakers in a distributed line, pins 3 and 4 are in parallel where:

    • Pin 3 is negative

    • Pin 4 is positive


  3. Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws on the cable clamp. Use the rotary switch located on the front of the unit to select whether you wish to use the speaker in a low-impedance or distributed-line application.


    THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.

  4. The CVS 4 is fitted with a 30W transformer. When used in distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 30W, 15W and 7.5W, with an additional 3.75W tapping for 70.7V line systems.

  5. The CVS 6 is fitted with a 60W transformer. When used in distributed-line systems, thetransformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for 70.7V line systems.

  6. The CVS 8 is fitted with a 60W transformer. When used in distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for 70.7V line systems.

PAINTING

If desired, the grille and baffle panel may be painted to match the surrounding décor.

Painting the baffle:

  • Carefully mask off the driver assembly using the paint-mask provided to ensure that the paint does not come into contact with the cone and roll surround.
  • Apply several thin coats of paint – this will provide a better finish than one overly thick coat.

Painting the grille:

  • Carefully remove the acoustically transparent foam from the reverse side of the grille.
  • Paint the grille and then replace the foam – several thin coats of paint will provide a better finish than one overly thick coat.
  • Re-bond the foam to the grille over the entire area using a light spray-adhesive to avoid audible resonances.
