  • Page 4: Introduction

    Like all Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeakers the Tannoy V15 exhibits true constant directivity, providing an even frequency response over the entire area of coverage. The output capability makes the Tannoy V15 suitable for much larger audience sizes or venues requiring very high SPL’s, such as nightclubs.
  • Page 5: Polarity Checking

    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 sq.
  • Page 6: Amplification & Power Handling

    The V15 is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network. If higher peak outputs and additional low frequency output is required then the V15 can be used in conjunction with the Tannoy TX2 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 TX2 user manual for further information).
