Tannoy EFX-1, Operator'S Manual

Page: 3 / 6

Installation
The unit is installed using the familiar “keyhole” mounts on the rear of the cabinet (fig.3). The
enclosed mounting template should be used for defining relative mounting bolt locations once final
cabinet positioning has been decided. Be sure to keep the template level horizontally. Once in the
correct position mark the center of each hole with a pen or nail. Remove the self adhesive template
and re-apply it to the adjacent wall once again being sure to stay level. You can re-apply the self
adhesive lable several times if required.
(fig.3)
The EFX-1 must be mounted so that the midrange
and treble units are at the sides of the bass unit
and not above and below the bass units (fig.4).
The grille cover should be removed to confirm
proper cabinet orientation.
Alternatively, the EFX-1 may be mounted on small shelves symmetrically placed along the chosen
wall. The same care should be taken in ensuring that the shelf is suitable for the weight and
dimensions of the EFX-1.
The ideal location for the EFX-1 is symmetrically along the side walls slightly behind the main
seating area. If this location is not available, the EFX-1 can be mounted symmetrically along the
rear wall at approximately the outer edges of
the main listening area. Care should be taken
to avoid corners whenever possible (fig.5).
Corner mounting is not recommended.
Height from the floor should be around
two-thirds of the way up the wall, using the
same height for both left rear and right rear
units (fig.6).
Please remember that symmetrical placement
means predictable and complementary left and
right performance. This is true for all
loudspeakers in a room. Once the location of
the units has been decided and a secure
mounting method implemented, the EFX-1 may
be carefully lifted off the wall at any time to
facilitate connection.

Ensure that the wall fastening is
designed to accept the weight of the
EFX-1 system.
Failure to do so will result in the
EFX-1 becoming detached from
the wall, with the possibility of
serious injury to the installer or
other persons.
