Consult the enclosed product specification sheet for the acceptable power range of amplifier matching. The high peak power handling of Tannoy loudspeakers permits responsible use with more powerful amplifiers - please read the Warranty. As with all loudspeaker systems, the power handling is a function of voice coil thermal capacity. Care should be taken to avoid overdriving any amplifier, as this will cause output overload resulting in 'clipping' or distortion within the output signal.
30kHz. Operating between the roll-off point of the exclusive Tannoy mid-bass or Dual Concentric™ drive units and 51kHz, the Tannoy WideBand™ high frequency unit will accurately reproduce the leading edge of individual notes allowing the listener to experience the entire bandwidth information of instruments.

TERMINAL PANEL CONNECTIONS AND DRIVER EARTHING iw6 DS DISCRETE MODEL In this model there are two robust spring loaded terminals designed to take substantial high quality loudspeaker cable. Strip off approximately 8mm (1/4”) of the outer protective layer and twist the inner cores together. Depress the spring-loaded terminal and insert the core ensuring that correct polarity is maintained.
There is a great deal of mounting location flexibility with both models when used in home cinema or multi channel systems. In particular, please note that due to the unique point source symmetrical dispersion properties of the Tannoy Dual Concentric™ drive unit, the model iw6TDC can be mounted in either portrait (in stud partition wall situations) or landscape positions where sufficient space exists behind the wall surface.

Strip 8mm (1/4 inch) of shielding from the end of the speaker cables in preparation for connection to the spring terminals on the rear of speaker. Check that the clamping arms are aligned as shown prior to insertion in the wall. Connect the speaker cable observing the correct wiring polarity.

NOTE SPEAKER LOADING VOLUME There are two simple approaches to achieve a sealed ‘enclosure’ to provide the correct driver loading area behind the speaker. The chosen method will depend on whether the wall is under construction, as in a new building project, or an existing wall where access is limited. Option 1 Stud partition walls under construction, with 102mm by 51mm (4 by 2 inch) timber at 406mm (16 inch) centres.
