Unpacking - Tannoy EYRIS Owner's Manual

UNPACKING

(See fig. 1)
To unpack the loudspeakers from their boxes remove tape from the top then fold the flaps
right back before inverting the carton and contents. Lift the carton clear of the contents
then remove all inner packaging.
It is strongly recommended that you store all the packaging to allow protected transportation
in future.
FLOOR STANDING MODELS
(See fig. 6)
The Tannoy StandPoint spiked metal feet, designed to extend the footprint of the speakers
to aid stability and provide an efficient acoustic coupling with the floor, are in an accessory
kit packed in the end of the box. To fit these, lay the speaker down gently on its back and
align a slot in a metal foot to one of the threaded inserts located in the base. Insert the
bolt supplied, noting the correct positioning of the two washers, and tighten firmly while
pushing the foot against the sidewall of the cabinet to ensure there is no unwanted movement.
Repeat the process with the remaining three feet.
Eyris 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 metal feet. Level the speaker and then tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using
undue force. Spike locating cups are provided in the accessory pack and these may be
used to protect sensitive floor surfaces.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE SPIKES ARE LEVELLED AND THAT THE LOCK NUTS ARE
TIGHTENED FIRMLY.
THE SPIKES SHOULD BE PUSHED THROUGH THE CARPET TO LOCATE INTO THE
FLOORING SURFACE BY APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE TOP OF THE CABINET.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RENDER THE SPEAKER UNSTEADY AND RESULT IN DAMAGE
OR INJURY SHOULD IT BE KNOCKED OVER.
IF USING ON A SENSITIVE FLOOR SURFACE PLACE THE PROTECTIVE CUPS UNDER THE
LEVELLED SPIKES.
STAND MOUNTING MODELS
Stand mounting or bookshelf speakers should be located securely, on stands or a shelf, in
an appropriate position to place the high frequency unit roughly at ear
WIDEBAND™
height when seated in the chosen listening position. Positioning recommendations for stand-
mounted speakers can be found under the section entitled Positioning and fine-tuning.
WALL MOUNTED REAR CHANNEL SPEAKERS
(See figs. 7 and 8)
The Eyris rear speaker has a driver configuration optimised for a flat response at the
listening position when wall mounted. It is supplied with an integrated wall hanging and
signal cable linking system, utilising professional grade connectors, to provide maximum
convenience and performance.
WARNING: IT IS ESSENTIAL TO SELECT THE CORRECT TYPE OF SCREWS AND FIXINGS
TO SUIT THE CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL OF THE WALL ONTO WHICH THE SPEAKER
IS TO BE MOUNTED.
ENSURE THAT THE EYRIS HANGING BRACKET IS FIXED TO THE WALL IN A SECURE
MANNER – FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE OR INJURY SHOULD THE
SPEAKER BECOME DETACHED IN USE.
SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE IF YOU ARE UNSURE WHAT FIXING IS BEST FOR YOUR
PROPOSED MOUNTING LOCATION.
