4. To protect your speakers and amplifier from damage it is important to ensure that the

amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cabling.

* Correct polarity of the cable connections between the amplifier and speakers is 
essential. 

(See figure 2)

* For optimum performance when connecting the system in standard single wire 
mode to a speaker terminal panel equipped with full bi-wiring facility, always make
cable connections, with the links fitted, to the HF terminals.

(See figure 2)

* The positive (plus) terminal on the amplifier left channel ( or coloured 
red) must be connected to the positive terminal on the left speaker. The left speaker
is the one on the left as you look at the stereo pair from your listening position.
* The negative (minus) terminal on the amplifier left channel (marked - or coloured
black) must be connected to the negative terminal on the left speaker.
* Repeat this connection process for the right speaker. Remember that the positive 
(+ or red) on the amplifier must be connected to the positive (+ or red) on the 
speaker and the negative (- or black) to negative.
* Select a signal source, such as a CD player; switch on the amplifier and slowly turn
up the volume control to check that both loudspeakers are reproducing bass and 
treble information.

FINE TUNING

To get best results from your new Tannoy loudspeakers it is worthwhile spending a little
time finding the optimum set-up configuration.
Here are a few tips to help you with this process:

STAND MOUNTING AND BOOKSHELF SPEAKERS

Small speakers should not be placed directly on the floor but can be used on bookshelves
or tables. However, the sound reproduction quality achieved will never be as good when
not ideally positioned. Your dealer can show you a selection of purpose built stands,
designed to realise the full performance potential of your loudspeakers.
Loudspeaker stands should be rigidly built and preferably mass loaded with dry sand. The
optimum listening height will be dictated by the seating in your room, usually between
300mm (12") and 600mm (24") high. Stand mounted speakers will produce their best
stereo image and soundstage if you can just see the top face of the cabinet. Check the
'lift' needed to put the speakers in this position before purchasing your stands.
Refer to the paragraph headed Positioning for stand mounted speaker placement advice.

(See figure 3)

FLOOR STANDING LOUDSPEAKERS

For optimum performance from floor-standing loudspeakers, the design team at Tannoy
recommends that the supplied carpet piercing spikes be fitted. A rigid footing for the
speaker, with a secure interface between the cabinet and the floor, brings about an
improvement in clarity, bass 'speed' and definition.
First level the spikes by eye then hand tighten the lock nuts. Rock the loudspeaker gently
from side to side so that the spikes find their way through the weave of the carpet and
on to the solid surface below. Once fine adjustments have been made to level the
loudspeaker and ensure stability, tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using undue force.
Refer to the paragraph headed Positioning for floor standing speaker placement advice.
