BASS TUNING
The foam port damper bung factory fitted inside the port tube located on the front or rear
panel of the cabinet. The speakers have been designed for use in rooms with average to
good acoustics without these dampers fitted, so please take them out before use.
In smaller rooms, where loudspeaker positioning is forced closer to rear or sidewalls, this
foam port damper bung can be inserted into the reflex port. This will reduce the bass
energy but 'speed-up' the sound presentation. There is no absolute right or wrong here,
therefore much will depend on your own musical preferences.
GRILLES
The Eyris grille has been designed to provide acoustic transparency. However, for ultimate
fidelity the enthusiast will appreciate the slight improvement in clarity and detail that is
achieved by removing the grilles during listening.
The mesh grille in front of the
WIDE
BAND™
HF unit diaphragm is held in place by
magnetism and may easily, but carefully, removed. It is essential that the
WIDE
BAND™
tweeter diaphragm is not touched, any damage will destroy its performance and require
specialist repair by your Tannoy dealer.
Any such damage will not be covered under warranty.
EYRIS HOME THEATRE 5.1 - GENERAL INFORMATION
(See fig. 10)
Unlike other forms of encoded surround audio, 5.1 offers full bandwidth capability for
the surround and centre channels, with the ability to treat the subwoofer as a single discreet
channel for special effects playback or, for music applications, as a dedicated low frequency
instrument channel. This places new demands on the surround and centre channel
loudspeakers in both the mixing and playback environments.
The 5.1 format allows the mix engineer in the recording studio to assign audio information
to one or more discreet channels of playback; providing very vivid and exacting localisation
for the apparent sound sources in the listening environment. To reliably recreate that
accurate localisation during playback, the selection and location of loudspeakers becomes
the single most critical issue next to the talent of the mix engineer in the studio.
THE SYSTEM
A fully operational 5.1 system consists of two main front loudspeakers, two rear effects
speakers at the rear (usually wall mounted) and a centre channel. The subwoofer provides
the .1 part of the system.
Total design compatibility within the Eyris range ensures all models share the same
acoustical balance and dispersion characteristics. In Home Theatre applications this benefit
provides a very natural soundstage retaining natural voicing and ensuring that aural effects
and speech localisation 'pan' from left to right and front to rear seamlessly.
SCREENING
The large magnet assemblies on the loudspeaker drive units of all Eyris models are fully
screened to eliminate colour-fringing effects when mounted close to television monitors.
FRONT SPEAKERS
The ultra wide dynamic range and power handling capability of Eyris loudspeakers will
provide a stunning home cinema experience. The speakers should be positioned on either
side of the TV or projection screen and then placed in line with the screen surface.
