Quick Start Guide

LED Functions
LimitLED-Whenilluminatedthisindicatesthatthesystem
is approaching clipping. An occasional icker of the red
LEDontheloudestpeaksisacceptable.IfthisLEDremains
redformorethanthedurationofbriefdynamicpeaks,or
lightscontinuouslythenthesystemisbeingoverdriven.If
theredLEDilluminatesexcessively:
•Reducetheinputlevel(seeinterfacepanel)
•Reducetheoutputlevelofthemixer,orothersourceto
thespeaker.
Signal LED – The Green LED indicates that a useable
signalispresentattheinput.
Power LED – When AC mains is connected to the
speakerandthepowerswitchisturnedon,thebluelower
LEDwillilluminate.
Audio Connections
The signal input & link connectors are fully balanced.
Whenconnectingabalancedsignalbesuretowiretothe
followingstandard:
SIGNAL XLR CONNECTOR
Hot(+)  Pin2
Cold(-)  Pin3
Shield(GND) Pin1
Inastandardbalancedinterconnectiontherearetwosignal
conductorsandashield.Theshieldisnormallyreferenced
togroundatoneorbothends.Manytimestheshieldis
liftedatoneend,usuallyattheinputtoeliminate“ground
loops”ornoise.Thisshouldbedoneonlyasalastresort;
althoughitwillreducehum,theshieldscanactasradio
antennas and pick up radio frequency interference from
theenvironment.
Multiple enclosures may be driven from a single audio
source;simplyplugthesignalsourceoutputintotherst
XLRinputsocket,andpatchthatspeaker’sXLRlinktothe
nextspeaker’sXLRinputsocket.
Gain Structure and Limiting
The VXNET gain structure is designed to allow a low-
levelsourcedevicetodrivetheloudspeakertofulloutput.
Maximum specied SPL will be achieved with a 4 dBu
inputsignal.Thereissufcientheadroominthesignalpath
toaccommodateinputlevelsof10oreven20dBu,with
highqualitycompressionengagedasneededtomaintain
sonicintegritywithoutclipping.
Equalisation
The VXNET loudspeaker requires no equalisation or
correction to overcome system limitations; equalisation
is necessary only to compensate for difcult acoustic
environments.
Rigging and Safety Procedures
TheinstallationofTannoyProfessionalloudspeakersusing
the dedicated hardware should carried out only by fully
qualied installers, in accordance with all the required
safetycodesandstandardsthatareappliedattheplace
ofinstallation.
WARNING: As the legal requirements for ying change
fromcountrytocountry,please consultyourlocal safety
standards ofce before installing any product. We also
recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and
