Crossovers & Amplifier Output Settings
VSX Series subwoofers do not incorporate internal high-pass or
low-pass filters for restricting input signal bandwidth. Therefore, it is
recommended that the amplifier output connected to the VSX subwoofer
should be band-limited by using either an external active crossover in
front of the amplifier or a dedicated subwoofer output filter incorporated
in the amplifier. Applying a full range output signal to the VSX Series
subwoofer input will reduce overall efficiency and could risk damage to
the unit at higher operating levels.
Most generic subwoofer settings will be adequate for driver
protection and minimally satisfactory performance. However, for
optimum performance is it recommended that the crossover be set
for the requirements of the specific VSX model. The recommended
values for high-pass filter (HPF), low-pass filter (LPF) and PEQ
(parametric equalizer) are given in the full VSX Series Operation Manual.
Rigging and Safety Procedures
Tannoy Professional loudspeakers should be installed only by fully
qualified installers using dedicated Tannoy hardware, in accordance
with all the required safety codes and standards that are applied at
the place of installation.
WARNING: As the legal requirements for flying / suspending / hanging /
rigging loudspeakers change from country to country, please consult
your local safety standards office before installing any product. We
also recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws
prior to installation.
For more detailed information on rigging hardware and safety
procedures, please consult the full VSX Series Operation Manual,
available at www.tannoy.com/pro.
Unpacking
Each Tannoy VSX Series subwoofer is carefully tested and inspected
prior to shipment. After unpacking, please check for any exterior
physical damage, and save the carton and any relevant packaging
materials in case the unit again requires packing and shipping. In the
event that damage has been sustained in transit, notify your dealer
and the shipping carrier immediately.
Cables and Connectors
Inputs are provided on both speakON® NL4 connectors and barrier
strip terminals. Two inputs of each type are provided, with each set
wired in parallel, to enable connection of an additional subwoofer to
the same amplifier output. Refer to the full VSX Operation Manual
for guidelines on maintaining proper combined system impedance
when connecting more than one unit by making parallel and series /
parallel connections.
The speakON connectors will accept wire up to 4 mm sq CSA
(AWG 12) with an outside diameter of up to 15 mm and a current
rating of 30 A. The pins of the two speakON sockets identified as
input / output on the rear of the input panel are paralleled within the
enclosure. Tannoy have adopted the conventional wiring standard
for the VSX Series product: pin 1+ is positive pin 1- is negative.
