Unpacking the Loudspeaker

Each Tannoy VX Series loudspeaker is carefully tested and inspected prior to shipment. After unpacking, please inspect for any exterior physical damage, and save the carton and any relevant packaging materials in case the loudspeaker again requires packing and shipping. In the event that damage has been sustained in transit notify your dealer and the shipping carrier immediately.

System Requirements

System Requirements – Passive and Bi-amped Loudspeakers
Within the VX Series, system designers can choose from a variety of sizes, power levels, and coverage patterns to suit particular requirements. For extended bass performance, models with the “.2” designation augment the Dual Concentric LF driver with a second matched LF driver. The “HP” designation indicates extended power handling capabilities, while the “Q” suffix indicates incorporation on the new Q-Centric WaveguideTM (QCW™) for applications requiring an asymmetrical coverage pattern. The QCW horn can be rotated in a matter of minutes, allowing placement of the 75 x 40-degree pattern with either horizontal or vertical orientation.

• VX “HP” and “Q” versions have switchable inputs to allow operation in passive or bi-amp modes.
• All other VX versions are full-range speakers operating as a passive system and require only one amplifier channel.

To avoid wasting amplifier power, you should use heavy-duty speaker cable, with a minimum wire size of 1.5 mm² (16 AWG), and preferably 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) for longer runs. Use larger wire sizes for speakers wired in parallel. For extreme cable lengths, be aware of cable impedance and resistive losses. Always observe the correct polarity.

WARNING:
VX Series loudspeakers can produce high sustained output levels for long periods of time. If users are in close proximity, these levels could lead to permanent hearing damage. Because Tannoy loudspeakers have a natural-sounding, flat frequency response and very low distortion, users may not be aware of the potential hazard. For continuous exposure to high levels, we recommend the use of a sound level meter to ensure noise levels are within safety limits. The meter should be capable of integrating levels over a period of exposure in conformance with noise control standards.

Amplifier Considerations

The VX series loudspeakers are optimized for use with the Lab Gruppen PLM+ series amplifiers or Lake LM series controllers used in combination with Lab Gruppen FP amplifiers. A full range of DSP settings to suit any configuration are provided for download on the Tannoy website. The use of third-party amplification and processing is only advised using the matrix of manual settings as well as the limiter calculator provided on the Tannoy website. VX series loudspeaker enclosures should be driven by high-quality power amplifiers designed for true professional use. Power amplifiers should be capable of delivering long term broadband power equal to half the loudspeaker’s peak power rating at its stated nominal impedance. The use of underpowered amplifiers must be avoided as heavily clipped signals can cause permanent loudspeaker damage. Limiters, crossovers and equalization points must be set in accordance with the settings provided on the Tannoy website. This will ensure the optimum sound quality and long-term reliability as well as protection from damage.

Neutrik speakON NL4 locking input connector(s) are provided, allowing options for input and link, passive, and bi-amp operation.

Mounting and Fixing

Arraying
Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimizing problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual coverage patterns of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the VXP cabinet greatly simplifies the creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide horizontal coverage using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.

By placing the VXP cabinets with the 30-degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth transition. In many applications, the 90 or 75-degree dispersion pattern may be sufficient in the horizontal plane. It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using the above method (in a central cluster for example) where greater vertical dispersion is required. As shown in the above diagram, one of the VXP cabinets is inverted to allow the optimum splay angle to be achieved. The grille can be simply removed from this cabinet and replaced for matching orientation. The grille is held in position by the two fixing screws on the top and bottom lips of the cabinet.

• The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple, cost-effective, and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for its specific role. To ensure the safest possible use of the hardware covered in this guide, it must be assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specified. The information in this
• Quick Start Guide relating to the assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed.
• IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.
• When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in accordance with the maker’s instructions.
• The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national authorities) personnel prior to any installation or flying.
• Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
• Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Tribe, including the MUSIC Tribe companies listed on the enclosed “Service Information Sheet”, assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is flown, the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
• Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc.) at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
