Introduction

Once you have set up your new loudspeakers as described in this manual, please complete and return the registration document or register you product online at www.tannoy.com – this does not limit your legal rights.

Unpacking
Check carefully for any sign of transit damage. In the unlikely event of transit damage, notify your shipping company and / or dealer as soon as possible for advice. It is recommended you store all packaging to allow protected transport in future.

Ensure that the following accessories are present:

mains cord appropriate to your country of use
one 5 meter 3.5 mm mini-jack cable.

Caution
These loudspeakers are capable of generating high sound levels over a sustained period of time. Because of their low levels of distortion, it is not always obvious that the sound level is high when working with these loudspeakers. Please be aware that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of time can lead to permanent hearing damage.

Positioning your speakers

These loudspeakers are designed as near field monitors, positioned typically 0.75 to 3 meters from the listener. They will typically be placed on the mixer metering bridge or on a table either side of a smaller mixing desk or control surface. They may also be mounted on appropriate loudspeaker stands, which will yield the best results in terms of stability and vibration. In all cases, these speakers should be angled towards the listener, with the tweeter approximately at ear height. For best uniform dispersion, these speakers should be mounted vertically, and not on their sides.

Connecting your speakers
Always make and check all connections before plugging your loudspeakers into the mains. Make sure that the Voltage Select switch on each speaker’s rear panel is set to the correct voltage range.

Important Safety Instructions

Terminals marked with this symbol carry electrical current of sufficient magnitude to constitute risk of electric shock. Use only high-quality professional speaker cables with ¼” TS or twist-locking plugs pre-installed. All other installation or modification should be performed only by qualified personnel.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosure – voltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.

Caution To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

Caution
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Caution
These service instructions are for use by qualified service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operation instructions. Repairs have to be performed by qualified service personnel.

Warning Please refer to the information on the exterior of bottom enclosure for electrical and safety information before installing or operating the device.

Please read and follow all instructions and warnings.
Keep the apparatus away from water (except for outdoor products).
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block ventilation openings. Do not install in a confined space. Install only according to manufacturer’s instructions.
Protect the power cord from damage, particularly at plugs and appliance socket.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other (only for USA and Canada). A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from damage, particularly at plugs and appliance socket.
Use only attachments and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.
Use only specified carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables. Use caution to prevent tip-over when moving the cart/apparatus combination.
Unplug during storms, or if not in use for a long period.
Only use qualified personnel for servicing, especially after damage.
The apparatus with protective earthing terminal shall be connected to a MAINS socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Avoid installing in confined spaces like bookcases.
Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.
Operating temperature range 5° to 45°C (41° to 113°F).

Balanced and unbalanced signal inputs
You can feed a line level input signal to your speaker by using either

the unbalanced 6.35 mm (¼”) input jack or
the balanced XLR input jack

XLR pinouts are: 2=+ve (hot), 3=-ve (cold) and 1=screen or signal ground. The XLR input may also be used for unbalanced operation by connecting pins 3 and 1 together.

Aux input Monitor Link

As an alternative to feeding a mono signal into each Tannoy Reveal loudspeaker, you can feed a stereo signal (e.g. from an audio interface, a smart phone or an audio player) to one loudspeaker and link it to a second loudspeaker using the supplied 3.5 mm cable, thereby creating a stereo pair. To do so, proceed as follows:

Connect your line level signal source to the “IN” jack in the AUX section of the first loudspeaker’s rear panel, using the 3.5 mm mini-jack cable that came with the first speaker.
Connect the “MONITOR LINK” jack of the first loudspeaker to the “MONITOR LINK” jack of the second loudspeaker using the 3.5 mm mini-jack cable that came with the second speaker.
Set the “SPEAKER POSITION” switch of each monitor according to its physical position.
- Set the position switch of the left loudspeaker (when facing the fronts) to “> ”.
- Set the position switch of the right loudspeaker to <

Volume control
The rear mounted “VOLUME” control knob allows for matching each loudspeaker’s volume to your mixing desk or other equipment. It will also allow you to adjust the relative levels between speakers in a surround system.

EQ
The EQ control switch adjusts the tweeter volume. It should normally be set to “NEUTRAL”.
If you are working in a bright environment, set the EQ control switch to “HI CUT”. In a dull environment, set the EQ control switch to “HI BOOST”.

Cabinet care
The cabinet may be cleaned with a soft lint free cloth. The use of solvents or abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
