    1. Introduction The Tannoy i9 installation loudspeaker is designed for use in applications requiring high quality music and speech, where wide and controlled coverage is required. The i9 comprises four 130 mm (5”) low frequency drivers and three 25mm (1”) high frequency drivers.

  • Page 4: Amplification And Power Selection (Low Impedance Mode)

    When the number of speakers is large over long cable runs, it is recommended that a distributed (70.7V/100V) system be used. For distributed line, the cable need not have a large cross sectional area as for low impedance, resulting in savings in cable cost. All speakers are placed in parallel with the output of the amplifier, allowing easy installation.

The pins of the 2 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 i9 product :-...

  • Page 6: Voltage And Power Selection (Distributed Line Operation)

    Cable choice consists mainly of selecting the correct cross sectional area in relation to the cable length and the load impedance. A small cross sectional area would increase the cables’ series resistance, inducing power loss and response variations (damping factor). Connectors should be wired with a minimum of 2.5 mm (13 gauge) cable.

    5.1 Connectors and Cabling for Distributed Line Operation Connections are identical to those used in low impedance mode, via the4-pole Neutrik Speakon connectors (see section 4.1): Pin 1+ is Positive Pin 1- is Negative Distributed line systems are much more efficient in power transfer and do not require as large cables as in low impedance mode.

  • Page 8: Polarity Checking

    6. Polarity Checking It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring. A simple method of doing this without a pulse based polarity checker for LF units is as follows: Connect two wires to the + and - terminals of a PP3 battery.
