Initial Positioning

Locate the loudspeakers so that the favourite listening position is approximately 15° from the axes of the cabinets. The
axes of both cabinets should intersect at a point slightly in front of the listening position. Remember that the proximity
of the loudspeakers to walls and corners will affect the sound. Some experimentation will probably be needed to fine-tune
the stereo image depth and low frequency sound quality. Close-to-wall positions - and room corners more so - have the
effect of increasing very low frequency sound energy. Reflective adjacent walls may upset the stereo image by causing
unwanted reflections.

The loudspeakers are designed to be used at least 1m from any sidewall or reflective surface and at least 0.5m away from
a rear wall. Only in this position will their exceptional stereo image depth capabilities be realised.

Holes are provided in the base of the speakers for down-spikes that give maximum stability, these special floor coupling
spikes are provided in the accessory pack and these should be screwed into the base of the loudspeakers, taking care not
to over-tighten them. When the loudspeaker is installed in its upright position, the spikes should pass between the weave
of your carpet to contact the floor beneath. Adjust the spikes for maximum stability.

For polished wooden floors, hard nylon self-levelling 'ball-and-cup' feet are provided.

Unpacking Instructions

Unfasten the bottom of the carton and remove all staples. Fold the end leaves out of the way and remove the packing
tray to reveal the plinth and bottom of the loudspeaker cabinet. Locate and remove from the carton the accessories pack.
Turn the carton and loudspeaker over so that the cabinet now stands on the floor inside the carton. Lift the carton upwards
to reveal the loudspeaker.

Examine all packing material and inspect the carton for signs of external damage. If there is evidence of excessive mishandling
in transit, resulting in damage to the loudspeaker, inform the carrier and supplier immediately. Always keep the packing
in such circumstances for subsequent examination.

Tannoy strongly suggests that you store the complete packaging set for possible future use.

The Sandringham

In combining the best of traditional crafts with the latest production and design skills Tannoy presents the Sandringham
loudspeaker. The Sandringham embodies the Tannoy philosophy. Cabinets in selected hardwoods are hand finished and
polished to a standard that is unsurpassed.

The Sandringham employs the latest 200mm (8") Dual Concentric™. This high performance driver is installed in a braced
birch-ply and particleboard cabinet with hardwood veneers and solid wooden mouldings. High purity van den Hul wiring
is used throughout. Low frequency alignment is through the Tannoy Distributed Port System (DPS). The specially designed
twin-roll impregnated fabric surround used on the drive unit's cone ensures midrange purity combined with tight,
controlled bass.
