INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team
of design engineers. They are the choice of discriminating music lovers the world over.
Musical excellence is designed into our loudspeakers from the start. Careful selection of
the very best components combined with strict quality control procedures in the production
process ensures this level of excellence is maintained.
To gain maximum performance from your loudspeakers, please take time to read this
owner's manual in full before installation. Once you have set up your new loudspeakers
please complete and return the registration document - this does not limit your legal rights.
Loudspeakers are electromechanical devices that 'run-in' through use; performance will
therefore improve after an initial period of 24hrs use. Once they have been further run-
in over a longer period, there will be clear enhancement of the stereo imaging, mid-band
quality and bass performance characteristics.
We are confident that you will continue to enjoy your new Tannoy Eyris loudspeakers for
many years to come.

If the equipment proves to be defective within this period for any reason other than
accident, misuse, unauthorised modification or fair wear and tear, Tannoy will repair

carriage. This warranty is given in addition to the customer's statutory rights.

If you suspect a problem with your loudspeakers please contact your local Tannoy
dealer who will be able to advise on appropriate action.
