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.

Today's so un d reinforcemen t systems–wheth e r in commercial or institution al en vironmen ts–must handle program
material that demands hig h impact, hig h-fidelity aud io rep rod uction. A t the same tim e, they m ust b e n early invisible.

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.
