1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this new AMS Series product. Designed for both speech and music program material,
the Tannoy AMS range provides exceptional sonic quality and long-term reliability in all surface mount applications.
All new drivers have 16 ohm nominal impedance for optimized use with Lab.gruppen amplifiers. Other features
include IP65 rating for outdoor use, high-temperature molded cabinets and custom color options.
Because all AMS models are true point-source loudspeakers, they may be mounted horizontally or vertically
without affecting performance. All models include a standard mounting yoke; a multi-angle VariBall accessory
bracket is available as an option.
2. Safety Notices
Installation Safety Notice
1. The user is responsible for fixing the hardware to the surface to ensure safe operation. The fixings must
support the weight of the product. Please consult the manual’s specification page for the appropriate weights.
Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region for further information on suitable hardware
fixing methods.
2. Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to
surfaces to provide security of a back-up support. A secondary support line should be attached from the
safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the wall. Please consult the relevant construction
codes in your region.
3. Tannoy will not be held accountable for any damage caused by incorrect installation.
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 (i.e. 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:
• •
Use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example constructed from
ceramic materials;
• •
Use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation;
• •
Use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.
3. Unpacking
Every Tannoy product is carefully inspected before shipment. After unpacking, please inspect your product to
ensure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of damage, please notify your dealer and retain all
shipping materials as your dealer may require return shipment.
