Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage " within the product's enclosure that may be of su cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
4. Preliminary Recommendation VSX Series subwoofers can produce high sustained output levels for long periods of time. If users are in close proximity, these levels could lead to permanent hearing damage. Because Tannoy loudspeakers have a natural-sounding, flat frequency response and very low distortion, users may not be aware of the potential hazard.
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. For a worldwide list of Neutrik distributors see www.neutrik.com.
6. Polarity Checking 6. Polarity Checking Checking the polarity of the wiring before the speaker system is mounted or flown will help ensure satisfactory performance. If you do not have a pulse based polarity checker, you may check as follows: Connect two wires to the + and - terminals of a PP3 (9 V) battery.
In the frequency band over which subwoofers operate, behaviour is essentially omnidirectional. Therefore, the efficiency of a VSX Series subwoofer may be further enhanced if the unit is placed against a wall, as radiation in the forward plane will be doubled (due to the addition of the reflected rear directed energy) and a 6 dB increase in sound pressure will be realised.
