This manual i s intended for the owner, operator, or ins tall er of Tannoy 110 s eries s ubwoofer s . It is a guide for in stalling , setting up and op e ra ting t he 110 series in accordance with e stablished codes and pract ice s av a ilable at the time of pub lication. It does not and cannot de tail all possible mounting or wiring configurations. The end user is ad v ised to retain the advice an d services of a qualified contractor who is familiar wit h local co des and train ed in th e in stalla tion of Tannoy profes sional audio s ystems .

The 110 fam ily of sub wo o fers has been engin eered to deliver low frequ ency extensio n and imp act from either a co ncealed ceiling mo un ted p osition or an uno btrusive corn e r position, at any he igh t from flo or to ceilin g.

The 110 Series subwoofe rs featu re a 10" long excursion driver capable of low end resp on se down t o 31 Hz and powe r h and ling in excess of 100 Wat ts. Its d e sig n is fully co mplemen t a ry to any T a nnoy full range wall or ceiling m ou nt lo ud speaker.

Three different subwoofer c abinet des igns and six different input " mo dules " offer a wide r ange of combinations that can me e t almost an y in stallatio n challen ge , and fit into an y in door en vironmen t.

CABINET O PTIO N S

110TB (Tile Bridge) Cabinet

Simple yet soph isticat ed, th e 110 T B is the first product of its kind: a true ceiling mo u n ted subwo o fer . Engineered to deliver low frequ en cy extension (-3 dB @ 31 H z) and im p act from a con cealed ceiling mo u n ted p o sition, th e 110TB int egrates almos t invis ibly into any indoor envir onment by us ing a s tandard air h and ling vent cover as a spe ak e r grille. The easy to install 110TB drop s seam lessly in t o a 2’ x 2’ ceiling tile withou t an y sp ecial co nstruct ion requirement s. Each corner o f the cabinet is fitte dwith a seism ic tet her point. This system can also be flown in free space via 3/8” thr e aded rod , chain or aircraft cable. Fire ratin g is NF PA class A . W h eth er your application calls for lo w level warmth o r high SPL slam , the 110TB pro vid es the req uired pu nch .

110SR (Sheet Rock) Cabinet

The seco nd in the T ann oy fam ily of true ceiling mo unted subwoo fe rs, the 110SR is engin eered to deliver lo w frequ en cy extension (-3 dB @ 31 H z) and imp act from a con cea ledpositio n. It is sp ecifically d e sig n e d for flush m ou n t in she e t ro ck ceilin g s, walls, overhan gs or any position offering ad e qu ate clearance and suit a ble structural suppo rt. The 110SR features seism ic tether poin ts, and safe and secure in stallation with a sturd y pre-installation ring . Th e p re -in stallation ring is available separately for new construction where the sheet rock installers are in ahead of the contractor. A unique benefit of the 110S R is that it remains ser viceable, and fully remo veable, from th e groun d after installat ion by sim ply remo ving t he low profile grille. Fire rating is NF PA class A.

110CS (Corner Subwoofer) Cabinet

The corner m o u n ted sub wo o fer, a flexib le cou sin o f the 110TB and 110SR, is eng ineered to deliver maxim um low frequen cy extension (-3 dB @ 31 Hz) and imp act from a corn er p o sition. The 110CS may be positioned d irectly on th e floo r, or a t any point up to the ceiling by means of the sturdy mounting rails. Corner positioning offers a significant advantage in terms of gain over other conventional, fre e -stand i ng subs. Corn e r p lace ment turns the flo or and walls into direct radiating surfaces that can result in seve r al de cibels o f ad ditional gain . In addition, p a intable finish and convenient pl acement options contr i bute to the dec orative appeal of the 110CS. Like th e 110TB an d 110SR, the 110 Co rner Sub wo o fer is po sitioned to del i ver the mos t from your mus ic system.

• Wire g rid ties (Fig. 8).

Note:

For 2’ space x 2’ sp a ce tile b ridg e d rop in, you will require wire grid supp ort tie s on each o f th e four corn e rs of the grid imm e diately beside the su bwoofer . This is usually accom plished by m eans of the sam e wire supp ort tie used to support the grid and for lighting fixt ures, etc .

1) The 110 T B was d esigned for quick and sim ple insta llation direct ly in to a 2’ x 2’ T -b ar ceilin g grid (Fig s. 9 & 10).

2) Rem ove sev e ral tiles around the in sta llat ion location to g ain easier access for lacing t he subwoofe r in the ceiling

grid.

3) Be certain that there i s s ufficient hanger wire s us pending the gr id where you intended to ins tall the subwoofer.

If no t , it may be nece ssary to add add it ional grid h a nge r wires around the perimete r of the locat ion, as req uired. We reco mmen d a m inim um of the four corners of the s ubwoofer.

4) U sin g wire rope or chain, select op po sin g corn e rs on the sub wo ofer to connect safety lin e s, or seismic tethe rs

(Figs . 8 & 9) securely to the s tructure. Thes e l ines should be taut enough to s uppo rt the majority of the weight of the 110TB, yet leave eno ug h load against th e ceilin g grid t o preven t t he grid from buzz ing . Be su re all tet her poin t s are securely fas tened to the sub w oo fer and acho red securely to the sub structu re o f the bu ilding .

ee Space Installation Proc edures

1) Fo r an installa t ion in free spa ce , select a lo cat ion tha t will allow su sp e nsion from d ir ect ly abo ve the subwoofer.

Begin by measuring a 19-1/2” squ are, and at each corner , install a fas tener (Fig. 11 & 12) s uch as the recommended hanger bolt to s upport each corner of the subwoofer.

2) Thread a coupling nut all the way over a hanger bolt, and with a 9/16” s ocket set, s tart threading the hanger bolt

in t o the supp ort stru ct ure . Secure a hang er to a sub structu r e at all fou r corners. Th is may be accomp lishe d sev e ra l ways depending on your particular installation.

(c ontinued on page 14)

Page 14

MECHANICAL INS TALLATION 110TB

3) Back off the coupling nut comp letely (Fig. 11) and thread on a backing nut with which to lock threads to the coupler.

Hold the coupler up to the hanger bolt to es timate the hal f way point of the coupler, and set the backing nut to that height before re- ins talling the c oupler and tightening it in place with a s ocket and an open end wrenc h. Thread a backing nut onto the threaded rod (or an eyebolt) far enough s o the rod can be threaded into the coupler un til it stops, having reached the hanger bo lt inside. No w tight en up th e backing nu t on the rod to secure it from turning , until it looks like (Fig. 4). Remember that th e rod co uld o t herw ise be an eyeb olt, if you are using t he wire rope suspension method, or a Hilti™ type fastener. Be sure to follow local building codes.

4) A lw a y s in stall an d utilize all four p oints, and it shou ld look like (Fig. 13). In this pho t o, th e t urnbu ckles hav e b e e n

added to the ends of the rods. The closed eyebolt on the turnbu ckle has been removed and replaced with the threaded rod. Note that the turnbuckle is stam ped with an “ L ” to identify the load or live end . O bserve the correct ass embly procedure from rod to eye-hook.

5) It’s now a fairly sim ple proced ure to place th e subwoo fe r onto the aw aiting ho oks. Two peop le, o n two separate

lad ders can n ow h oist the subint o place . W hen installed , it can easily be lev e le d with a few turns on the t u rn buckles (Fig. 14).

6) If n o suit a ble poin t ex ists direct ly abo v e t he desired locat ion, you can use wire rope o r chain to make con nect ions

that are not perpendicular to the suspension point(s). Under no circumstances shouldthe angles exceed +/- 15 degrees from vertical. Make certain that you follo w closely the instructions and regulations for the use of wire rope for overhead sus pens ion. S erious injur y could res ult if guidelines and s afety margins are not closely obeyed.

7) In this photo (Fig. 15) we have remo ved the threaded rod, and installed eyebolts with backing nuts into the cou plers,

as de scrib e d earlier. D e t a il of the con nect ion wit h wire rope is sh own in (Fig. 8), which is identical to pand bo ttom . Take meas uremen ts to app roximate the lengths of rop e you will need. It might be con venient to make some, or perhaps al l of your wire ropes on the gr ound, and us e a qui ck link (Fi g. 7) on each end to c onnect between both the s uspension point and at the s ubwoofer. Again, it is important to f ollow local code and regula tions fo r use of wire ro pe in overh e ad susp e nsion . Ch eck wit h your supp lie r for ad ditiona l instru ct ions o n it s use.

8) O nce two installers have raised the s ubwoofer to the ropes and the sub is safel y s uspended, it c an be leveled by

ad justin g the ro pe len gths. Check for eve n t e nsion on all ropes, an d no te tha t it is m u c h e asier to let so me wire slip out of the tighter ropes, rather than trying to pull up and tighten the loose ropes. Once the s ubwoofer is level, the installation is comp lete.

Pl ease r efer to the photographs a s a guideline f or ins talli ng the PIR into a wood j ois t or s teel s tud ceiling.

1) (Fig. 1) Measure the locations for two 24” strips of 2” x 2” or 2” x 4” blocking . These m u st be used in order fo r

secure mo unting to the PIR with 2- 1/2” #8 woo d screws. Use a combination s quare to measure the thicknes s of the PIR (app rox. 5/8”), and then transfer the measurement to the jois t.

2) (Fig. 2) Screw th e blocking to t he joist with several evenly spaced screws. (Fig. 3) Fasten t he PIR similarly to

the blocking. Note that t here are no pre-drilled ho le s; use th e woo d screws to go directly throu gh the PIR, keeping a 1” clearan ce fro m any “T” -nuts. Note: the PIR mu st b e installed with“T”-n uts on th e top side. The PIR is clearly marke d for yo ur safety an d convenien ce.

2) Carefully cut out th e recess for attachin g t he subwo ofer (Fig. 6).

8) A word abou t the Rotozip™ tool for cutting holes in wallboard: using the correct bit, and accurately setting the

cutting de pth will greatly reduce any erro rs caused by the tool “g e tting away ” or cut ting into the PIR. Use o nly a Guidepoint™ bit as pic tured (Fig. 11); it wi ll follow the ins ide per imeter of the PIR. For the first c ut, s et the depth to the thic kness of the wallboard plus 5/8” (the thicknes s of the PIR). Example: 5/8” PIR plus 5/8” wall b oard eq uals 1-1/4” cut t ing de pth.

9) After the majority of the material has been remo ved from the center of the PIR, you can set the cutting depth for

the second step. Ho lding the tool up to the opening, s et the depth gauge so that the Gu idepoint™ bit will now follow the re cessed cutaway in the PIR.

MECHANICAL INS TALLATION 110CS

The 110CS sub w o o fer is easily installed in almo st any indo o r lo cation where access to a corner is availab le. A lth o u g h its appearance is hands ome in f ul l view, the wide dis persion of i ts down firing woofer and the dis persion of l ow frequenc ies in gene ral, allow mo derate obstructions such as ch airs, plants etc. to be pla ced directly in front of the cabine t. A co rner p osition aga inst solid w a lls will he igh ten the bass performance result ing in a woofer sound ing larg e r and more powerful than its compact size would suggest.

In locations where the s ituation dictates a higher positioning of the subwoofer, the suppli ed wall brac kets for mounting to 16” center stud s may be utilized.

All connections and controls are acc essed under the snap-on top panel . Note the hole provided in the cabinet rear thro ugh which to run cables.

Prep aration and Rail Kit Mounting Instructions:

New construction and most retrofits shou ld include two single “J ” Boxes installed in the drywall with power and signal cab le s within. Positio n the h e igh t of the “J” Bo x e s so that th e y w ill be h idden by th e in stalle d subwo ofer cabinet and at a vertical placement of no more than 7” from the drywall corner to the outside edge of the “ J” Box (s ee Fig. 4). The gap in the corne r be hin d the in stalled su bwo ofer and t he dry wall will provide adeq uate clearance for all cable ru ns to t he subwoofer.

1) A t y ou r de sired location , estab lish a “bottom ” mark in the corner. For a minimum recom mended sp ace o f 6”

b et w e en the top of th e subwoofer an d the ceiling (to access the con nect or pan e l) , th is mark sho uld fall at least 20” fro mthe ceiling. Extend a 20” level, horizo ntal pencil line on each side of the corner. Do not in stall the subwoofe r too clo se to the ceiling so as not to allow fo r conne ction or adjustment , if req uired.

2) Using a stud sensor, locate the end most stu ds within the 20” horizo ntal line s. Mark each an d exte nd a plu mb

vertical penc il line from thes e points up the wall for 20” .

3) A lign the rig ht bracket ato p the rig ht 20” h orizont a l line wit h the flange o n the b ottom and th e 45 d e gree cut

end tight to the corner. Check for level.

4) Atta ch t he rail securely t o a stud with an appropriate lag screw* through hole “D”. Be sure th e h e a d of the

screw does not protr ude more than 3/16” . (Figs . 1 & 2)

5) Position the left rail with its 45 deg ree cut end tigh t to the corner, level and even with th e righ t rail and secure

to a s tud throug h hole “ D”. (Fig. 2)

6) There are three holes at the far most end of the rails from the corner; “A”, “B” and “C”. Hole “B” corresponds to

a poi nt 16” from hole “ D” and s hould c onf or m to a s tandar d s tud pos i tion. Holes “A ” and “ C” a re 3/4” on each side o f hole “B” and allow for variances o f stud location. Should yo u encounter a stu d locat ion in accessible b y way of any of these holes, you ’ll need to drill new mou n ting ho les in the brackets co rrespo n d ing to you r vertical pencil lines . (Fig. 2)

7) O nce you’ve aligned one of the holes to a stud, check for level and securely fas ten the rail to the stud with a

suita ble lag screw*. Rep e a t this procedure for th e o the r rail.

8) Th e rails should be lev el wit h each o t her and secu re ly fastened. They m ust be cap able of sup port ing a 45 lb load .

S UB WOOF E R I NS T AL LAT ION:

1) Rem o v e the top from yo u r 110CS by pu lling firm ly u pward at the ou ter edges o f the lid and set t he lid asid e.

2) Lay the cab in e t face (log o side ) down on a soft su rface and remo v e the bo ttom plat e an d sp acers b y

unscrewing the 4 Allen head pan bolts on the bottom of the sub. Set thes e parts as ide.

3) Two peop le should now lift the sub (with the d river side facin g down) an d place it ato p th e tw o installed rails.

Pu sh the un it all th e wa y in to the corner and hold in pla ce.

4) While o ne person hold s the su bwoo fer , th e second p e rson sh ould d rill p ilot holes fo r th e 3/ 4 ” screws th roug h

rail holes “E” and “F” and int o the subw oofer cab inet. (Fig. 2)

* NOTE: As w all thickne ss and mat e ria ls v ary, we do no t provid e lag screws fo r th e w all m ounting of th e rails.

5) Install the 4 su pplied 3/4” wood screws bein g care ful not to strip t he holes in th e subwoofe r.

Twoadditional anchor screws should be installed up near the top rear edge of the subwoofer in the cavity where th e cont rol panel is lo cated . The p osition o f these tw o screws should co rre spond to the vertical pencil lin e s drawn earlier.

6) Drill a ho le in the cabinet at each pencil line , 1” from the top edge of the cabine t and insta ll an appropriate lag

screw* thro ug h e ach and into th e w all stud s.

PLEASE NO TE that there will be a space between the wall and the cabinet.

These two screws should be firm, butdo not attempt to over tighten or close the cabinet/wall gap by force of the screw. Th e screws are for pre ven t ing the subwoofer fro m falling forward and d o no t supp ort the weig ht of the unit. (Fig. 3)

7) On ce the un it is level and secure, reinstall the bo tt o m p anel and its spacers with the Allen head bo lts remo ved

earlier. Peel off and remo ve the bot to m rub b er feet if desired.

8) Replace the s nap-on lid once all con nection s and adjustments to the interface panel have been made.

(See “ Int erface Mo d u le Op t ion s” fo r det ails .)

* NOTE: As wa ll th ickness and materials vary, we d o not provide lag screw s for the wall mo unting of the rails.
