OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Installation
2 CHANNEL STEREO
Operation is basically the same as above, except the LFE switch should be set to OFF, and the XOVER
FREQ. control must be set to suit your main speakers. If you know the lower roll-off frequency of your
speakers (as given in the manual), set the control to this value as a starting point. If not, set the control
to mid position. Using a range of music, adjust the control to give the smoothest integration between
the main speakers and the subwoofer. The LF XTENSION control should be set to MUSIC, but some
deviation away from this setting may be preferred depending on the main speakers and room.
POSITIONING
As a subwoofer produces low frequencies only, it is difficult to detect its location by ear. It can therefore
be placed anywhere in the room, but it is worth experimenting to find the optimum position. Bass output
will increase next to a wall or especially in a corner; so use the GAIN control to compensate if moving
your subwoofer around.
AUTO POWER/ SLEEP FUNCTION
These subwoofers can be left permanently on in AUTO mode, under which conditions they will revert
to ‘sleep’ mode after approximately 12 minutes. If not using your subwoofer for some time, switch OFF
and remove the power cable from the mains outlet.
When unused for some time, such as vacations, set the main power switch to OFF and unplug the unit
from the mains.
OVERLOAD PROTECTION
All Tannoy TS subwoofers are provided with circuitry to limit the maximum sound output, in order to
eliminate audible distortion. This circuitry will normally operate unnoticed. If however distortion is heard,
this indicates the unit is being severely overloaded, and to avoid damage, the input level should be
reduced immediately.
CLEANING
Dust the enclosure with a dry lint free cloth, which may be moistened to remove any marks.
Do not use any solvent-based chemicals.
