Introduction 

 

The Tannoy VS15BP is a compact, versatile subwoofer system, primarily designed to 
extend the low frequency response of the V series loudspeakers and increase system 

headroom. 

 

The VS15BP will extend the frequency response of these systems to below 40Hz and is 

capable of providing output levels normally be associated with considerably larger 

enclosures.  
 

The VS15BP comprises one high efficiency 380mm(15”) drive unit. The cabinet is 

constructed from multiple-ply hardwood, which will survive the punishment that 

speaker systems are subjected to on the road and in club installations. The compact 

dimensions of the V15BP enable it to be used in permanent or portable applications 

without being obtrusive. 
 

The VS15BP features recessed carrying handles and blank plate for a top-mounted 

stand socket, which serves as a base for locating the main full range or mid/high 

speakers in the air. By using 35mm tubing the need for a tripod stand can be 

eliminated. 

 
 

 

2. Unpacking 

 

 

Every Tannoy VS15BP is carefully inspected before packing. After unpacking your 

loudspeaker, please inspect for any exterior physical damage, and save the carton and 
any relevant packaging materials in case the loudspeaker again requires packing and 

shipping. In the event that damage has been sustained in transit notify your dealer 

immediately.  

 

 

3. Connectors/Cabling 
 

The VS15BP is fitted with 4-pole Neutrik Speakon

 connectors. Speakon has the 

following advantages over EP and XLR type connectors: All terminations are solderless; 
this makes life easier at the time of installation or when field servicing is required. 

Contacts will accept 6 sq. mm wires with an outside diameter of up to 15mm and a 

current rating of 30 Amps. The pins of the 2 Speakon sockets on the input panel are 

paralleled within the enclosure. Tannoy has adopted the conventional wiring standard 

for the VS15BP product: - 

 
 

 

 

Pin 1+ is Positive 

 

 

 

Pin 1-  is Negative
