INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team of design engineers. They are the choice of discriminating music lovers the world over. Musical excellence is designed into our loudspeakers from the start. Careful selection of the very best components combined with strict quality control procedures in the production process ensures this level of excellence is maintained.
It is strongly recommended that you store all the packaging to allow protected transportation in future. (See fig.1) FLOOR STANDING MODELS Revolution floor-standing models perform best with carpet piercing spikes fitted. These are supplied, along with lock nuts, and should be inserted into the threaded holes in the base of the cabinet. Level the speaker and then tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using undue force.
Positioning and fine-tuning. INSTALLATION To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables. Before switching on double check that all connections are secure and that polarity is correct. REVOLUTION MANUAL...
Switch the amplifier on with the volume control set at its lowest setting. Select a favourite source and slowly turn up the volume to a low level. Check that bass and treble information is being reproduced from both speakers - if not, switch off the amplifier and recheck the connections. (See fig. 4) REVOLUTION MANUAL...
(See fig. 5) POSITIONING AND FINE-TUNING To get best results from your new Tannoy Revolution loudspeakers it is worthwhile spending a little time finding the optimum set-up configuration. Begin by angling the speakers towards your chosen listening position, usually this is on the centre line of the room, so that when seated you can just see the inner side panel of each speaker.
Total design compatibility, ensuring all models share the same acoustical balance and dispersion characteristics, means that it is essential that an Revolution A/V system is built around only Revolution Dual Concentric™ models (it is not possible to mix in products with other driver types) as the acoustic integration of each has been optimised only for use as a complete system.
The Revolution DC LCR centre channel can be wired in single wire, bi-wire or bi-amp modes. Please refer to figs. 3, 4 & 5 for connection guidance bearing in mind that connection should be made to the dedicated centre channel output on your A/V processor amplifier/s.
