  • Page 4: Introduction

    2. Introduction 2. Introduction Designed, engineered and built in the United Kingdom, the VX Series from Tannoy comprises a range of passive loudspeakers for demanding professional and commercial sound applications. At the heart of all VX Series loudspeakers is Tannoy’s acclaimed Dual Concentric driver technology.

    30 A. When so equipped, the pins of the two speakON® sockets identified input/ output on the rear of the input panel are paralleled within the enclosure. Tannoy have adopted the conventional wiring standard for the VX Series product: pin 1+ is positive pin 1- is negative. For a worldwide list of Neutrik®...

  • Page 6: Polarity Checking

    5. Polarity Checking 5. 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 LF units as follows: Connect two wires to the + and - terminals of a PP3 (9 V) battery.

  • Page 7: Crossover And Bi-Amp Configuration

    If higher peak outputs and additional low frequency output is required, then the VX Series can be used in conjunction with the Tannoy TX1 controller/crossover which provides high pass filtering and a degree of parametric equalisation, as well as a fixed crossover point for use with sub-bass loudspeakers (See the TX1 Operation Manual for further information.) The Tannoy TDX2 Digital controller will also perform the above...

  • Page 9: Equalisation

    8. Equalisation 8. Equalisation VX Series loudspeakers require no equalisation or correction to overcome system limitations; equalisation is necessary only to compensate for difficult acoustic environments. Over-equalisation can reduce system headroom and introduce phase distortion, resulting in degraded sound. If equalisation is required, it should be applied gently and smoothly.

  • Page 10: Arraying

    9. Arraying 9. Arraying Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual coverage patters of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the VXP cabinet greatly simplifies the creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide horizontal coverage using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.
