Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting Tannoy loudspeakers developed in the UK by our dedicated team of design engineers. The Tannoy Arena Highline 500 LCR speakers are designed to blend perfectly into your room and provide a sound stage which is at least as good as you would hear in a commercial movie theatre, but in the comfort of your own home. A wall mounting bracket and platform for centre channel use is included with the speaker. An optional floor stand and shelf / table stand is also available. Tannoy Professional Studio Monitor speakers are used by mixing engineers, producers and directors in the creation and production of many movie soundtracks. Tannoy Arena Highline 500 LCR home cinema speakers are engineered with the same technology, design and manufacturing principles as Tannoy Studio Monitors to create realistic special effects with clear crisp dialogue capability. The carefully designed appearance of Tannoy Arena Highline 500 LCR system components allows discreet placement of the speakers giving the movie screen pride of place as the centre of the visual movie action. TANNOY DUAl CONCENTRIC™ The Arena Highline 500 LCR loudspeakers incorporate the legendary Tannoy Dual Concentric™ drivers. Intensive research and development has produced an all-new version of this proven technology that builds upon the legendary performance of this exclusive Tannoy driver design. The time coherent, point source and constant directivity nature of the dispersion characteristics inherent in the Dual makes it an accepted industry standard in studio monitoring. By exceeding the rigorous demands of the recording and mastering environment Tannoy can ensure that playback performance in the home, whether in two channel stereo or multi channel home cinema mode, is strictly controlled to accurately reflect the sound engineer’s artistry. In nature all sounds emanate from a single point in space. The high frequency unit of the Dual, centrally mounted in the throat of the main mid/bass driver, is so positioned as to acoustically replicate this single point source; delivering an incredibly natural sound with an incredibly wide imaging ‘sweet spot’ that creates an expansive soundstage with remarkably focused placement of vocals and instrumentation. TANNOY WIDEbAND™ Tannoy has incorporated its own WideBand™ technology into the design of the Arena Highline 500 LCR loudspeakers. Not only does this exceptional in-house technology resolve fine detail of high frequency information but it also effectively enhances the listening experience throughout the whole frequency range. The WideBand™ high frequency system creates an increased immediacy, airiness and impact making music sound more natural and true to life. Music contains transient... -
Page 5: Rotatable Badge
ROTATAblE bADGE The Arena HighLine 500LCR is designed to be used either horizontally (e.g. centre channel) or vertically (e.g. wall or stand mounted satellite position). The Tannoy badge on the speaker has been designed to swivel to the required position for horizontal or vertical use. In horizontal position the badge can appear either to the right or left hand side of the speaker and in vertical position the badge can appear either to the top or bottom of the speaker. The badge has a spring mechanism which holds it locked in its finally chosen position at 90 degree intervals. To swivel the badge through 90 degrees it needs to be carefully lifted away from the grille by approx 2 - 3 millimetres (approx 0.1”) only and then turn to the desired position. To pull the badge upwards it should be gripped with finger nails to either side and slightly underneath. • Grip with finger nails to either side of badge and gently pull (approx 2 – 3mm / 0.1” only) • Swivel to desired position • Allow spring mechanism to hold in final position... -

Page 7: How To Wall Mount
ARENA HIGHlINE 500 lCR (for satellite position) How to wall mount WARNING: It is your responsibility to ensure that the bracket to wall fixing screws or bolts and the walls themselves are strong enough to support the weight of the speaker – refer to the speaker weight specifications supplied in this manual. Particular care is needed when fixing to hollow or cavity walls - ‘‘stud’’ walls. Use only professionally recommended fixing devices which will spread the load of the brackets and fixing screws over an area of the wall surface when mounting to cavity walls. Pay particular attention to the possibility of electrical cables and gas or water pipes which may be present in the wall cavity or buried in the wall surface. Use a special cable or metal proximity locator to locate these obstacles if in any doubt. Before wall mounting the bracket, ensure sufficient clearance to hook the speaker onto bracket (approx half speaker length above bracket). Use a spirit level to ensure the bracket is fitted level. Mount the wall bracket on the wall with a suitable fixing (not supplied – see warning note above) Ensuring cap is uppermost, using 8mm screws and washers provided, attach bracket with pre-fitted cap to top two fixing points on speaker. Attach bracket without pre-fitted cap to bottom two fixing points using 8mm screws and washers provided. - Page 8 ARENA HIGHlINE 500 lCR (for satellite position) How to wall mount - continued Cut the speaker wire so that the (+) side is slightly longer than the (-) side and feed the speaker wire through spare bracket cap.

Page 15: Room Setup
ROOM SETUP A 5.1 surround sound system consists of 5 separate speakers and one subwoofer. The LCR used in the centre channel position is designed to reproduce most of the dialogue or solo performances. The front left and right speakers reproduce the left/right stereo information and special effects. The rear left and right speakers reproduce special effects. Try to get all 3 front speakers equidistant from the listening position and in the same plane, for example along a back wall which may be present just behind the viewing screen or TV cabinet. The front centre speaker should be mounted either above or below the screen. It may be mounted behind a projector screen only if the screen is acoustically transparent. -
Page 16: Connect To Receiver
CONNECTING THE SYSTEM TO YOUR AV RECEIVER Wire up the system connecting each speaker to the appropriate terminals on the receiver or amplifier making sure that cables connect red to red terminals (+ to +) and black to black terminals (- to - ). Please note : (+) is shown as grey, (-) is shown as white. Take care to distinguish between left and right channels and the front and rear channels, as seen from the viewing position. This is a very important stage in setting up. Getting things wrong at this stage is the most likely reason for disappointing results. t f e Centre Rear Right Rear Left Subwoofer (RCA cable) -
