Introduction
Once you have set up your new loudspeakers as described in this manual, please complete and return
the registration document or register you product
online at www.tannoy.com – this does not limit your
legal rights.
Unpacking
Check carefully for any sign of transit damage. In the
unlikely event of transit damage, notify your shipping
company and / or dealer as soon as possible for advice. It is recommended you store all packaging to allow protected transport in future.
Ensure that the following accessories are present:
– mains cord appropriate to your country of use
– one 5 meter 3.5 mm mini-jack cable.
Caution
These loudspeakers are capable of generating
high sound levels over a sustained period of time.
Because of their low levels of distortion, it is not always obvious that the sound level is high when working with these loudspeakers. Please be aware that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of
time can lead to permanent hearing damage.

Positioning your speakers
Positioning your speakers
These loudspeakers are designed as near field monitors, positioned typically 0.75 to 3 meters from the listener. They will typically be placed on the mixer metering bridge or on a table either side of a smaller mixing
desk or control surface. They may also be mounted
on appropriate loudspeaker stands, which will yield
the best results in terms of stability and vibration. In all
cases, these speakers should be angled towards the
listener, with the tweeter approximately at ear height.
For best uniform dispersion, these speakers should
be mounted vertically, and not on their sides.

Positioning your speakers for optimal results
Connecting your speakers
Always make and check all connections before plugging your loudspeakers into the mains.
Make sure that the Voltage Select switch on each
speaker’s rear panel is set to the correct voltage
range.
Balanced and unbalanced signal inputs
You can feed a line level input signal to your speaker
by using either
– the unbalanced 6.35 mm (¼”) input jack or
– the balanced XLR input jack.
XLR pinouts are: 2=+ve (hot), 3= -ve (cold) and
1 = screen or signal ground. The XLR input may
also be used for unbalanced operation by connecting pins 3 and 1 together.
Aux input – Monitor Link
As an alternative to feeding a mono signal into each
Tannoy Reveal loudspeaker, you can feed a stereo
signal (e.g. from an audio interface, a smart phone or
an audio player) to one loudspeaker and link it to a
second loudspeaker using the supplied 3.5mm cable,
thereby creating a stereo pair. To do so, proceed as
follows:
– Connect your line level signal source to the “IN”
jack in the AUX section of the first loudspeaker’s

Volume control
rear panel, using the 3.5 mm mini-jack cable that
came with the first speaker.
– Connect the “MONITOR LINK” jack of the first
loudspeaker to the “MONITOR LINK” jack of the
second loudspeaker using the 3.5 mm mini-jack
cable that came with the second speaker.
– Set the “SPEAKER POSITION” switch of each
monitor according to its physical position.
– Set the position switch of the left loudspeaker
(when facing the fronts) to “-►”.
– Set the position switch of the right loudspeaker
to“◄-”.
Volume control
The rear mounted “VOLUME” control knob allows for
matching each loudspeaker’s volume to your mixing desk or other equipment. It will also allow you to
adjust the relative levels between speakers in a surround system.
EQ
The EQ control switch adjusts the tweeter volume. It
should normally be set to “NEUTRAL”.
Cabinet care
The cabinet may be cleaned with a soft lint free cloth.
The use of solvents or abrasive cleaners should be
avoided.
If you are working in a bright environment, set the EQ
control switch to “HI CUT”. In a dull environment, set
the EQ control switch to “HI BOOST”.
