Mounting and Fixing
Arraying
Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the eect of minimising problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual
coverage patters of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the VXP cabinet greatly simplies the creation of eective arrays, allowing
seamless wide horizontal coverage using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.
By placing the VXP cabinets with the 30 degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth
transition. In many applications the 90 or 75 degree dispersion pattern may be sucient in the horizontal plane. It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using
the above method (in a central cluster for example) where greater vertical dispersion is required. As shown in the above diagram, one of the VXP cabinets is inverted to
allow the optimum splay angle to be achieved. The grille can be simply removed from this cabinet and be replaced for matching orientation. The grille is held in
position by the two xing screws on the top and bottom lips of the cabinet.
The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to oer quick, simple, cost eective and secure solutions for mounting specic Tannoy
Professional loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for its specic role. To ensure the safest possible use of
the hardware covered in this guide, it must be assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specied. The information in this Quick Start Guide relating to the
assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualied personnel with the required experience
and certication to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, oors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory
used must be safely and securely xed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, oor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, oors or ceilings, ensure that all xings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling
claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular xing arrangement
can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist xings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be tted and used in
accordance with the maker’s instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a own system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualied and certied (by local state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation or ying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and own by qualied and certied personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components
delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Tribe, including the MUSIC Tribe companies listed on the enclosed
“Service Information Sheet”, assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualied personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is own,
the area underneath the speaker is free of human trac. Do not y the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic eld, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be aected by such elds (discs, computers, monitors, etc.)
at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
