FINE TUNING

Once the SuperTweeter is fully run in, you are in a position to fine tune the system. The settings chosen for 
SENSITIVITY and CROSSOVER FREQUENCY are those recommended by Tannoy as being optimum for your 
loudspeakers. However listening room acoustics and personal taste may dictate some adjustment. Remember that 
like a subwoofer, the SuperTweeter should not draw attention to itself, but should offer a natural enhancement to the 
upper frequencies.

The effect of the SENSITIVITY adjustment screw is to increase or decrease the output over the full frequency 
operating range of the SuperTweeter, in 1.5 dB steps. The CROSSOVER FREQUENCY control offers 3 positions for the 
SuperTweeter energy to be rolled in. (Fig 4)

The position of the SuperTweeter has been determined in Table 1 to correspond to the acoustic centre of your Tannoy 
Dual Concentric model. However the user is free to experiment with the positioning. For example, in difficult listening 
room acoustics, the SuperTweeter may be brought further forward.

The SuperTweeter has a protective guard which can be removed for optimum performance. Carefully remove by 
gently pulling forward. Take care not to touch the fragile dome.

CARE OF THE SUPERTWEETER

Wood is a product of nature. Every piece of wood, even from the same tree is slightly different in colour, texture, and 
grain, making each SuperTweeter unique. Wood contains natural imperfections, which add to its character and appeal. 
Natural features such as small sap pockets, pin knots, and streaks are normal and should not be considered defects. 

Two finishes of the enclosure are available, walnut / gold anodised machined aluminium and satin black / silver 
anodised machined aluminium. For the satin black finish, simply wipe with a soft slightly damp cloth.

The walnut enclosure has been hand waxed before dispatch from our finishing workshop. To maintain the natural 
wood appearance, it is important that only a wax of similar formulation is used.

A jar of specially formulated wax is provided with Tannoy Prestige loudspeakers and is also available from your 
authorised Tannoy dealer. This should be applied sparingly and carefully (avoiding metalwork and terminals), with a 
soft lint-free cloth, such as muslin.

Under no circumstances should chemical cleaning agents be used.
