1. Introduction
The Tannoy V15 utilises a high performance Dual Concentric™ drive unit – the 15” (380mm)

PowerDual™. The substantially increased efficiency and power handling or this all-new driver design
ensures that the V15 is capable of delivering high SPL’s in even the most demanding applications.
Like all Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeakers the Tannoy V15 exhibits true constant directivity,
providing an even frequency response over the entire area of coverage. The output capability makes
the Tannoy V15 suitable for much larger audience sizes or venues requiring very high SPL’s, such as
nightclubs.

The V15 comprises one 15 inch PowerDual Dual Concentric driver in which the low frequency (LF)
and high frequency (HF) sources are coincidentally aligned to a point source, resulting in a smooth
uniform frequency response over a wide area of coverage either as a portable stand alone system or
in a multi-cabinet array. As the system is a point source, clusters and arrays have minimal lobing.
These features are inherent and achieved without the use of any electronic signal processing.

The asymmetric cabinet profile allows flexible and discreet installation. As a foreground system,
installation is made simple with a range of Secur-ET mounting hardware, designed specifically for the
V series – or the system can be flown using the integral M10 inserts.
For portable stage use the birch ply cabinet has a recessed carrying handle on the rear of the cabinet
and a blanking plate, which can be removed to install an optional pole mount. As a versatile low
profile stage monitor, the conical coverage pattern gives the performer greater freedom of movement
than allowed by conventional horn loaded designs. The V15 can be configured for both passive full
range or biamped operation

The V15 has been designed for use with the Tannoy TX2 controller, which will equalise the system
resulting in improved bass performance as well as providing a 2-way crossover function, operating at
100Hz, for use with separate sub-bass systems.

2. Unpacking

Every Tannoy V15 product is carefully tested and inspected before being packaged and leaving the
factory. After unpacking your loudspeaker, please inspect for any exterior physical damage, and save
the carton and any relevant packaging materials in case the loudspeaker again requires packing and
shipping. In the event that damage has been sustained in transit notify your dealer immediately.

3.1 Connectors/Cabling

The V15 is fitted with 4-pole Neutrik Speakon connectors. Speakon has the following advantages
over EP and XLR type connectors: All terminations are solderless; this makes life easier at the time
of installation or when field servicing is required. Contacts will accept 6 sq. mm wire with an outside
diameter of up to 15mm and a current rating of 30 Amps. The pins of the 2 Speakon sockets
identified input/output on the rear of the input panel are paralleled within the enclosure. Tannoy has
adopted the conventional wiring standard for the V15 product :-

Mode Of Operation
Speakon Pin No. Passive Full Range Bi - Amp

1+ Full Range + LF +
1- Full Range - LF ­2+ No Connectors HF +
2- No Connectors HF -

For a worldwide list of Neutrik distributors see http://www.neutrik.com/

Cable choice consists mainly of selecting the correct cross sectional area in relation to the cable
length and the load impedance. A small cross sectional area would increase the cables series
resistance, inducing power loss and response variations (damping factor).

Connectors should be wired with a minimum of 2.5 sq. mm (12 gauge) cable. This will be perfectly
satisfactory under normal conditions. In the case of very long cable runs the wire size should exceed
this, refer to the following table for guidance: -

4. Polarity Checking

It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring before the speaker system is flown. A simple
method of doing this without a pulse based polarity checker for LF units is as follows: Connect two
wires to the +ve and -ve terminals of a PP3 battery. Apply the wire which is connected to the +ve
terminal of the battery to the speaker cable leg which you believe to be connected to pin 1+ of the
speaker connector and likewise the -ve leg of the battery to pin 1-.

If you have wired it correctly the LF drive unit will move forward, indicating the wiring is correct. All
that remains now is to connect the +ve speaker lead to the +ve terminal on the amplifier and the -ve
lead to the -ve terminal on the amplifier. If however the LF driver moves backwards, the input
connections need to be inverted.

If problems are encountered, inspect the cable wiring in the first instance. It should also be noted that
different amplifier manufacturers utilise different pin configurations and polarity conventions, if you are
using amplifiers from more than one manufacturer, check the polarity at the amplifiers as well as the
loudspeakers.

5. Amplification & Power Handling
As with all professional loudspeaker systems, the power handling is a function of voice coil thermal

capacity. Care should be taken to avoid running the amplifier into clip (clipping is the end result of
overdriving any amplifier). Damage to the loudspeaker will be sustained if the amplifier is driven into
clip for any extended period of time. Headroom of at least 3dB should be allowed. When evaluating an
amplifier, it is important to take into account its behaviour under low impedance load conditions. A
loudspeaker system is highly reactive and with transient signals it can require more current than the
nominal impedance would indicate.

Generally a higher power amplifier running free of distortion will do less damage to the loudspeaker

than a lower power amplifier continually clipping. It is also worth remembering that a high powered
amplifier running at less than 90% of output power generally sounds a lot better than a lower power
amplifier running at 100%. An amplifier with insufficient drive capability will not allow the full
performance or the loudspeaker to be realised. (See technical specifications section for
recommended amplifier power)

It is important when using different manufacturers amplifiers in a single installation that the have very

closely matched gains, the variation should be less than +/- 0.5dB. This precaution is important to
the overall system balance when only a single active crossover is being used with multiple cabinets; it
is therefore recommended that the same amplifiers be used throughout.

6. Crossovers

The V15 is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network. If higher
peak outputs and additional low frequency output is required then the V15 can be used in conjunction
with the Tannoy TX2 controller/crossover which provides high pass filtering and a degree of parametric
equalisation, as well as a fixed crossover point for use with sub-bass loudspeakers (See the TX2 user
manual for further information). The Tannoy TDX2 Digital controller will also perform the above
functions with additional control and features including limiting and delay (See the relevant literature
on the TDX2 for further information).

The V15 can be easily configured for Biamp operation in conjunction with the TDX2 or other OEM
controller/crossovers. A detailed description along with system parameters is given in Section 13 of
this manual.

7. Equalisation

The V15 loudspeaker is designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system

limitations. As a result, it will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult acoustic
environments.

Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater

problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be applied gently and smoothly. The
V15 loudspeaker is a point source, phase coherent designs and violent equalisation will be
detrimental to the overall sound quality.

When a loudspeaker is used in close proximity to another, comb filtering effects can create coverage
problems, comb filtering creates an uneven frequency response across the coverage area due to
constructive and destructive interference effects between the sources. The amount of comb filtering is
affected by the spacing of the relative sound sources. Minimising this effect cannot be cured by
equalisation (see the following section for more details).

8. Arraying
As discussed in the previous section, comb filtering is a phenomenon, which cannot not be cured by

equalisation. Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic
combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual coverage patters of each
loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the V15 cabinet greatly simplifies the
creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide (130 degree) horizontal coverage using two
loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.

By placing the V15 cabinets as shown in the diagram below, minimal dispersion pattern overlap is
achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth transition.

In many applications the 75-degree dispersion pattern may be sufficient in the horizontal plane.
It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using the above method, say for use in a central
cluster, where greater vertical dispersion is required.

9.

As shown in the above diagram, one of the V15 cabinets is inverted to allow the optimum splay
angle to be achieved. The grill can be simply removed from this cabinet and be replaced in the
correct orientation. The grill is held in position by the two fixing screws on the top and bottom
lips of the cabinet.

12.1 General Safety Advice

The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple,
cost effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional
loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for
its specific role. To ensure the safest possible use of the hardware covered in this guide, it must be
assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specified. The information in these manuals
relating to the assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed.
The installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers using the dedicated hardware should only ever
be carried out by fully qualified 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 flying change from country to country, please consult you
local safety standards office before installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly
check any laws and bylaws prior to commencing work.

Tannoy Professional hardware has been designed for use with specific Tannoy Professional
loudspeakers, and is not designed or intended for use with any other Tannoy Professional products,
or any other devices. Using Tannoy Professional hardware for any purpose other than that indicated in
this guide is considered to be improper use. Such use can be very dangerous as overloading,
modifying, assembling in anyway other than that clearly stated in the manual, or damaging Tannoy
Professional hardware will compromise safety.

The component parts of any Tannoy Professional hardware device must only be assembled using the
accessory kits supplied and in strict compliance with the user manual. The use of other accessories
or non-approved methods of assembly may result in an unsafe hardware system by reducing the load
safety factor. Welding, or any other method of permanently fixing hardware components together or to
the integral fixing points in the cabinet should never be used.

Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy
Professional hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and
securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely, securely, and in
accordance with the manual, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question,
using only the fixing holes provided as standard and covered in the manual. Secure fixings to the
building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in
any doubt.

All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of work and
entertainment must, be provided with an independent, correctly rated and securely attached
secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device. This secondary safety must prevent
the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”) should the principle hardware
device fail.

SECUR ET – VMY Yoke Bracket

The VMY is an adjustable yoke bracket (available in both black and white), allowing the user to fly the
Tannoy V15 loudspeaker in either portrait or landscape orientations using the same bracket (Figures
1 & 2).

The Tannoy V15 loudspeaker is attached to the bracket using the M10 bolts and washers supplied in
the accessory pack.

Only the screws, fasteners, shakeproof and plain washers specified on figure 3. should be
used to assemble the VMY bracket

Pivot studs (Figure 3.) (Supplied with the VMY) are attached to the cabinet using the M10 bolts
supplied. These bolts locate on the M10 inserts in the cabinet. The VMY adjustable yoke bracket
then connects to the centre of these mounting plates (using the M10 screws supplied). These
bracket pick up points which are in line with the bracket’s axis of rotation, are also positioned on the
centre of gravity of the V15 in both orientations to allow easy adjustment for opt imum coverage.

The vertical distance between the apex of the VMY and the top of the Tannoy V15 loudspeaker can
be adjusted by connecting to varying mounting points on the bracket allowing varying degrees of
vertical rotation. The top centre fixing hole of the VMY then provides a pick up point for a variety of
Tannoy Professional hardware accessories including the VMB wall mounting plate (shown in Figure

2.), the VCS ceiling saddle, and the VPC pole clamp.

12.3 SECUR ET – VMB Wall Mounting Bracket

The VMB is wall mounting bracket for the
attachment of a VMY, available in both black
and white finishes, allowing the user secure
the Ta nnoy V15 loudspeaker in either portrait
or landscape orientations to a wall.

The Tannoy V15 loudspeaker is attached to
the bracket using the accessories supplied.

This wall-mounting bracket has a larger wall
plate than previous models to maximise the
integrity of fixing obtained. There are also two
holes either side of the fixing beam to allow
the speaker cable the pass through the wall

plate and along the fixing beam to the terminal

panel resulting in a more discrete installation.
The fixing beam on the VMB has a number of

mounting points from which the VMY can be
attached at varying distances from the
mounting surface.

Only the screws, fasteners, shakeproof

12.4 SECUR ET – VEB Eyebolt

The Tannoy V15 loudspeaker can be flown with
high quality VEB M10 eyebolts with collar to

BS4278:1984. The loudspeakers are equipped with

internal steel braces, which also double as the
flying points, and accept VEB M10 eyebolts.

To install the VEB M10 eyebolts remove the
original M10 counter sunk screws from the
locations you wish to install the VEB M10
eyebolts. Then replace these counter sunk M10
screws with the VEB M10 eyebolts. The M10
insert on the rear of the cabinet also accepts a
VEB M10 eyebolt and should only be used for
tilting the loudspeaker to the desired angle.

Important: It is imperative for safety reasons
that two eyebolts linked to two independently
fixed straps are used per cabinet. VEB
eyebolts should be installed into the relative
sides of the cabinet, and should NEVER be
installed on the top of the cabinet. Never

suspend one enclosure from another to form a

line array or cluster using these fittings.
The correct method is shown in figure 2.
Never attempt to use formed eyebolts i.e.
formed from a steel rod and bent into an eye.

Only use the outer fixing points on the top and
sides of the V15 cabinet for fixing eyebolts. The
inner two fixing points on each side of the cabinet
are for dedicated bracketry (VMY) only.

The Tannoy V15 loudspeaker is fitted as
standard with a blanking plate on the base
of the cabinet. However, should you ever
wish to mount the V15 onto a standard

35mm pole mount this blanking plate can be

quickly and easily removed and replaced by
a VTH pole mount. The same screws which
secure the blanking plate should be used to
secure the VTH in position.

VCS

The VCS ceiling saddle available in both
black and white finishes, and is to be used
in conjunction with the VMY and a length of
M10 threaded rod (not supplied by Tannoy
Limited). The VCS ceiling saddle allows the
Tannoy V15 loudspeaker to be suspended
at a user defined distance from the ceiling
as shown in Figure 1.

Included with the VCS is an M10 nut. This
should be used to secure and lock the
threaded rod in place at the to

p of the ceiling

saddle.

13. System Configuration & OEM Controllers

13.1 Passive or Biamp?

The V15 is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network and is
connected as shown in Figure 1. To reconfigure for Biamp operation simply follow the wiring
schematic as shown in Figure 2. This mode of operation bypasses the internal passive crossover
network and connects the input seakon connectors directly to the LF & HF sections of the driver
separately (see section 3.1 for connection details). The Biamp controller parameters in section

13.3 must be adhered to for optimum performance.

A loudspeaker driven in Biamp mode offers a number of performance advantages, such as increased
system headroom. Audio program materiel is made up of many different frequencies and harmonics.
In music materiel, most of the energy is in the low frequencies, with less in the highs. When both
high and low frequencies are present in a signal, the stronger low frequencies can use up amp power,
leaving little or no reserve for the highs, so they are more likely to cause the power amplifier to clip. In
a Biamp driven system, a smaller amp can handle high frequencies, LF amp clipping is less of a
factor, and less overall amplifier capacity is needed due to the efficiency improvement in the absence
of a passive crossover.

Fig.1

Fig. 2

13.2 Passive System Parameters (optional)

With the vast array of digital loudspeaker management systems available it is inevitable that the user
may opt to use a controller other than the TX2 & TDX2 as part of a large scale integrated system. In
passive mode the V15 has been designed to need no external equalisation to overcome system
limitations. If the V15 is to be used alone with additional bass enhancement required and have the
frequency response limits tighter than +/- 3dB as stated in section 11, then apply the parameters in
the table below for optimised performance: -
