Page 2: Important Safety Instructions
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 10. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in anyway, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. VLS Series Operation Manual rev 1.0.0... -

Page 4: Introduction
For applications requiring extended low frequency enhancement, a range of Tannoy sub-bass systems are available for use in conjunction with the VLS Series. 3. Unpacking Each Tannoy VLS Series loudspeaker is carefully tested and inspected prior to shipment. After unpacking, please inspect for any exterior physical damage, and save the carton and any relevant packaging materials in case the loudspeaker again requires packing and shipping. In the event that damage has been sustained in transit, please notify your dealer and the shipping carrier immediately. VLS Series Operation Manual rev 1.0.0... -

(70/100 V) system be used. For distributed line, the cable need not have as large a 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 wattage tappings can be individually adjusted, giving more flexibility within an installation.

Page 6: Wiring And Connections
Amplifier selection - As with all professional loudspeaker systems, the power handling is a function of voice coil thermal capacity. Care should be taken to avoid overdriving the amplifier into clipping. Damage to the loudspeaker will be sustained if the amplifier is driven into clipping for any extended period of time. Headroom of at least 3 dB should be allowed. When evaluating an amplifier, it is important to take into account its behaviour under low impedance load conditions. A loudspeaker system is highly reactive, and with transient signals it can require more current than the nominal impedance would indicate. Generally a higher power amplifier running free of distortion will do less damage to the loudspeaker than a lower power amplifier that is continually clipping. A high-powered amplifier running at less than 90% of output power generally sounds VLS Series Operation Manual rev 1.0.0... -

(-) terminal of the battery to the negative terminal of the speaker. If you have wired it correctly, the LF drive unit will move forward. At this point, connect the positive (+) speaker lead to the + terminal on the amplifier and the negative (-) lead to the - terminal on the amplifier. However, if the LF driver moves backwards with the battery test, the input connections need to be inverted before connecting the amplifier. If problems are encountered, inspect the cable wiring. Note that different amplifier manufacturers may utilise different pin configurations and polarity conventions; if you are using amplifiers from more than one manufacturer, check the polarity at the amplifiers as well as at the loudspeakers.

Page 9: Equalisation
8. Mounting and flying 8.1 Asymmetrical pattern considerations VLS Series loudspeakers are designed with an asymmetrical vertical dispersion pattern, a feature which allows improved performance with simplified mounting in many applications. The vertical dispersion of the VLS 7 and VLS 15 is +6 / -22 degrees from center axis, while the pattern of the VLS 30 is +3 / -11 degrees from center axis. Please be aware of this feature when planning your installation. In many situations where conventional column loudspeakers would require substantial downward tilt, a VLS Series loudspeaker would require less tilt or even allow flush mounting, thus providing a simpler installation with improved visual aesthetics.

Page 10: Mounting And Flying Hardware
Aligning the top two screw holes results in a flat flush mount; using the lower two screw positions provides a 4 degree downward tilt. Flying Bracket – Each VLS Series loudspeaker is also supplied with a flying bracket. The bracket is attached to the top two inserts (see below) using the two supplied screws and washers. The two bottom inserts can be used as pull back if required. VLS Series Operation Manual rev 1.0.0... -

Page 12: Outdoor Applications
9. Outdoor applications 9. Outdoor applications VLS Series loudspeakers are rated IP65 for resistance to dust and moisture ingress, and are resistant to both salt spray and UV exposure, making them suitable for use in most outdoor applications. Please consult with your Tannoy dealer before installation in applications with extreme exposure to adverse environmental conditions such as prolonged heavy rainfall, prolonged temperature extremes, etc. VLS Series Operation Manual rev 1.0.0... -
