Introduction

.
Thank you for purchasing Tannoy i5 MP.
The Tannoy i5 MP is a powered loudspeaker and has been designed to be both
sonically and cosmetically pleasing for a range of applications from AV presentations
to public address.
TM
ICT or Inductive Coupling Technology offers point source operation, and can h ence
be used in both landscape and vertical positions without affecting the sound quality.
The ICT™ utilises a wireless electromagnetic tweeter that does not require a
crossover and cannot be burned out from heavy or abusive use. The 1" aluminium
high frequency dome has a deep drawn skirt which sits inside the low frequency voice
coil in the same magnetic gap. The skirt is like a single shorted turn, which is induced
with high frequency information generated by the low frequency voice coil, which is
fed a full bandwidth signal. The ICT
which utilises a moulded plastic cone and nitryl rubber surround to further enhance
its' durability and long term reliability.
TM
The ICT driver is housed in a plastic enclosure that has been optimally tuned to
achieve maximum bass response and tonal balance.
For applications requiring extended low frequency enhancement, a range of Tannoy
sub - bass systems are available and can be used in conjunction with the i5 MP.

2. Unpacking

Every Tannoy i5 MP is carefully tested and inspected before packing. After
unpacking, please inspect your i5 MP for any damage sustained during transit. In the
unlikely event of any damage, would you please notify your dealer immediately and
retain your shipping carton, as your dealer may ask you to return the faulty unit for
inspection.

3. Power Requirements

After unpacking check that the voltage rating is correct. The selector can be found
on the rear panel at the back of the speaker, Figure 3a. If the voltage is incorrect,
move the voltage selector to the appropriate voltage. Check that the panel mounted
fuse is also correct for the correct operating voltage , which is located on the same
panel, and can be removed by unscrewing it from the panel. The fuse rating should
match the operating voltage: 500mA/250V for 220 - 240V operation and 1A/125V for
100- 120V operation. The fuse is 5mm ´ 20mm Time Delay, low rupture type. The
fuse should, however, correspond to the set voltage when shipped.
