  • Page 3: Introduction

    Single or Bi-Amp mode, in conjunction with a suitable digital signal processor (DSP). The VQ MB duplicates the low frequency performance of the VQ 60 & VQ 100 full range loudspeakers, it is intended for use as a flown or ground stacked, high power low/mid frequency module used in conjunction with full range or mid/high systems in the VQ series.

  • Page 4: Unpacking

    2 UNPACKING Every Tannoy VQ product is carefully tested and inspected before being packaged and leaving the factory. After unpacking your loudspeaker, 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 notify your dealer immediately.
  • Page 5 The VQ 60, VQ 100 and VQ DF are fitted with 4-pole Neutrik Speakon connectors and barrier strip for fixed installations. Speakon Connections - Speakon has the following advantages over EP and XLR type connectors: All terminations are solderless; this makes life easier at the time of installation or when field servicing is required.
  • Page 6 The barrier strip accommodates bare wire, tinned leads or spade connectors. The barrier strips are specifically designed for utilization in fixed/permanent installations. The VQ 60 and VQ 100 are configured for Bi-amp operation; by removing the 4 link wires between the two barrier strips on the termination panel tri-amp operation is possible.

  • Page 7: Polarity Checking

    4 POLARITY CHECKING It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring before the speaker system is flown. A simple method of doing this without a pulse based polarity checker for LF units is as follows: Connect two wires to the +ve and -ve terminals of a PP3 battery.

    In its basic configuration the Tannoy VNET SC1 is a powerful 2 in 6 out digital system controller provides multiple X-Over, EQ, Delay and Limiting options. Using DSP-based digital crossovers with 96kHz sampling rates, this versatile controller will enable simple configuration and optimization of loudspeakers in terms of speaker management and room EQ functionality.
