1. Introduction

Featuring a high power 200mm (8”) Dual Concentric™ drive unit with Tannoy’s unique point source
technology, the Tannoy V8 provides a compact solution for high quality music and speech
reproduction. Installation, in even the smallest of venues, is made simpler due to the 90 degree
conical dispersion of the Dual Concentric™ which allows either vertical or horizontal mounting without
affecting sound quality or compromising performance.

The V8 comprises one 200mm (8”) 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. The sophisticated CAD designed waveguide combines 90 degree conical
dispersion and excellent acoustic impedance characteristics. 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 V8 has been designed for use with the Tannoy TX1 controller, which will equalise the system
resulting in improved bass performance as well as providing a 2-way crossover function, for use with
separate sub-bass systems.

2. Unpacking

Every Tannoy V8 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. Connectors/Cabling

The V8 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 have
adopted the conventional wiring standard for the V8 product :-

Pin 1+ is Positive
Pin 1- is Negative

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:-

25 2.5

50 2.5

100 2.5

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 V8 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 V8 can be used in conjunction with

the Tannoy TX1 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 TX1 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).

7. Equalisation

The V8 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 V8
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 V8 cabinet greatly simplifies the
creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide (140 degree) horizontal coverage using two
loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.

By placing the V8 cabinets with the 30 degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion
pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth transition.

In many applications the 90-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.

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 provi ded 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.

The Tannoy V8 loudspeaker can be flown with high
quality VEB M10 eyebolts with collar to
BS4278:1984.

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:
that two eyebolts linked to two independently
fixed straps are used per cabinet. If flying one
cabinet above another, the cabinet must be
used in a landscape orientation. 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.

The Tannoy V8 loudspeaker is fitted as
standard with a metal blanking plate on the
base of the cabinet. However, should you
ever wish to mount the V18 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.

Te VCS ceiling saddle available in both
black and white finishes, and is to be
used in conjunction with the V8Y, VCB2,
VCB4 and a length of M10 threaded rod
(not supplied by Tannoy Limited). The
VCS ceiling saddle allows the Tannoy V8
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 top of the

12.8 SECUR – ET V8B Wall Mounting Bracket

The V8 can be wall or ceiling mounted by using the V8B bracket which is designed to offer the
maximum flexibility in selecting desired angles.

The V8B is supplied with M8 bolts for fixing to the loudspeaker, hinge clips which can be used to alter
the angle of the wall fixing plate and an allen key to secure the arm length adjustment as well as the
desired angle of ‘tilt’ of the loudspeaker .

The hinged wall mount plate enables the V8B to be fixed to flat walls and ceilings or to fit onto internal
or external corners.

When the desired angle of tilt has been decided for the loudspeaker, the allen bolt holding the
loudspeaker mounting plate onto the arm of the V8B can be tightened, the sprockets will hold the
assembly firm ensuring it will not slip. The arm length can also be adjusted if desired. It is imperative
that the bracket is fixed soundly to the wall. Be sure to use the correct fixings (e.g. Rawbolt,
Rawplug) according to the wall type.

The Tannoy V8 loudspeaker is also compatible with Omnimount™
50 Series Hardware

13 System Configurations & OEM Controllers

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 TX1 & TDX2 as part of a large scale integrated system. The
V8 has been designed to need no external equalisation to overcome system limitations. If the V8 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:-
