6. Crossovers 

For optimal performance the B475 has been designed to operate with Tannoy Install 
or Transportable series, e.g. i12/T12, i15 and T300, where overall system control is 
achieved by utilising the TDX2 system controller. The TDX2 has been factory preset 
to provide the recommended cross-over points, delays and overall system balance. 
Please refer to the TDX2 manual for operation. Alternatively, Tannoy TX1, TX2 and 
TX3 system controllers can be used. 

If you intend using an alternative loudspeaker management system (e.g. BSS™, Klark 
Teknik™, XTA™ etc) please contact your distributor or visit our website, 

www.tannoy.com

 for the correct parameter settings or refer to the recommended 

crossover points in the technical specifications section of this manual. 

7. Equalisation 

The B475 loudspeaker is designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome 
system limitations. As a result, it will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult 
acoustic environments.  

Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion 
resulting in greater problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be 
applied gently and smoothly. Violent equalisation will be detrimental to the overall 
sound quality.  

8. Flying 

The B475 utilises convenient flying points as well as 2 MAN pullback points allowing 
for ease of installation and flexibility with the highest levels of safety. As with any flying 
system, safety can only be guaranteed when all precautions have been implemented 
correctly. A pole mount is also provided for flying a mid/high cabinet in the air.  

NOTE: The installation of this product must be carried out in conformity with 
local building codes and standards. If necessary, consult your local safety 
standards officer before installing any product. Alternatively, check any laws or 
bylaws. Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damage caused by the 
improper installation of any flying gear or loudspeaker.
