  • Page 3: Installation

    2.1: UNPACKING AND VISUAL CHECKS The Reveal 6D’s are packed in pairs and the Reveal 8D and 66D’s are packed singly. To remove the speakers from the carton without damage open the end flaps fully and bend them right back (remember they are packed in pairs). Turn the package upside-down on the floor and lift the carton vertically up to leave the speakers resting on their packing tray.
  • Page 4 Having chosen an appropriate location for your monitors and arranged them accordingly, connect the power cord to the mains socket and turn the power on. The LED on the front panel will now glow red. Push the Tannoy logo on the front panel to operate the switch to bring the amplifier out of standby mode and into operational mode.
  • Page 5 Low Mid Contour Frequency: A shelving filter can be set to the flat anechoic response or set to shelve at frequencies of 800Hz, 400Hz, or 200Hz in combination with the low mid contour amplitude (below) to correct half space (pi/2), quarter space (pi/4) and very difficult close field boundary conditions (pi/8 space).
  • Page 6 Hi-Mid Shelf Boost/Cut: a shelving filter between 1kHz and 3KHz can be set to +2, +1dB, flat, -1dB, -2dB, to take account of room characteristics and personal preference. Editing news broadcast material is often easier with an increased output in this band.
  • Page 7 Quarter Space (Pi): An example of quarter space would be with speakers mounted on stands in a corner, or on the meter bridge against a wall or mounted on small stands or shelves against a wall. Also typical PC/Mac editing in a confined space on a desk near a wall.

  • Page 8: Placement Of The Speakers

    MID AND HIGH EQ SETTINGS RT60 Decay Time: An estimation of the RT60 decay time above 1kHz within the monitoring environment will help to set the mid and high frequency equalisation. Hard surfaces in general and particularly if close to the speakers will increase the amount of reverberent energy to direct energy above 1kHz (RT60 above 500mS) and may justify setting the mid or high EQ (or both) to -1dB.

  • Page 9: Speaker Mounting

    EQ, or leaning back and listening to the mix. Don’t go crazy trying to get this exact to three decimal places, within a few inches will suffice. Your Tannoy monitors have a wide sweet spot both horizontally and vertically to reduce the variations in sound quality as you move around doing your recording engineer stuff.
