USER MANUAL

THE

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications the Tannoy Di5a is an ultra compact active loudspeaker
system capable of delivering high sound pressure levels with extremely low distortion, resulting in outstanding clarity,
definition and detail. A truly universal solution, the Di5a offers outstanding durability and resistance to scuffs and knocks.
Available in black or white the Di5a will effectively blend into most backgrounds. Utilisation of the point source loudspeaker
allows the Di5a to be mounted on a wall or ceiling in either horizontal or vertical orientations without affecting its performance.
A range of hardware options ensures simple and effective installation.

For applications requiring extended low frequency enhancement, a range of Tannoy sub-bass systems are available and can
be used in conjunction with the Di5a.
