Tannoy EFX-1, Operator'S Manual

Page: 4 / 6

Setting up the controls
The EFX-1 gives unique flexibility in surround effects options. The following describes operation fea-
tures of the EFX-1. We encourage you to experiment with the available controls to find the option
that suits your environment and taste. However, do remember that you should choose the same set-
tings for both the right rear effects and left rear effects channels.
Bi-pole:
With all switches set in the bi-pole mode (all switches to the left, fig.7) all the speaker
units will operate in-phase with one another (they all push air together or pull air together). The drive
unit arrangement on the EFX-1 ensures a broad and expansive sound field in this mode.
Di-pole:
With all switches set in the di-pole mode (all switches to the right, fig.8) the drive units
on the two sides are out-of-phase with one another (one side pushes while the other side pulls). An
even more expansive sound field can be obtained in this mode.
EFX-1 Options:
You may wish to experiment further by setting the high frequencies in the di-pole
mode with the midrange frequencies in the bi-pole mode, or vice versa. Choose the same settings
for both loudspeakers.

Limited Warranty
The Tannoy EFX-1 is warranted against failures due to defective parts or faulty workmanship for a
period of five years after delivery to the original owner. During this period, Tannoy will make any
necessary repairs without charge for parts or labor. The owner must prepay shipping charges to the
TGI repair facility, or an authorized Tannoy repair station. Return shipping charges (via UPS Ground)
will be paid by TGI.
This warranty applies only to the original owner and is not transferable. It does not apply to repairs
done other than by the TGI repair facility or an authorized Tannoy Repair Station. This warranty may
be cancelled by Tannoy at its sole discretion if the EFX-1 has been subjected to physical abuse or
has been modified in any way without written authorization from TGI. TGI’s liability under this
warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the defective unit.
Tannoy will not be responsible for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the use or
misuse of its products. Some states and provinces do not allow the exclusion of incidental or
consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state and province
to province. A copy of the original purchase invoice showing the purchase date must accompany
warranty claims.
Please be very careful to observe correct polarity (the + wire to the + terminal (“red”), the – wire to
the – terminal (“black”)) when making connections (fig.2).
