Crossovers
VX Series loudspeakers are supplied as standard for passive operation
via the internal crossover network. If higher peak outputs and additional
low frequency output is required, then the VX Series can be used
in conjunction with the Tannoy SC1 digital controller. Each input on
the network enabled VNET SC1 has gain control and 4 bands of
parametric EQ with bands 1 and 4 offering settings for LF and HF
shelving response. The unique routing engine will allow any input to
be sent to any output. Various filter types are available on all outputs
which can be configured as 2-, 3- or 4-way crossovers. All output
channels feature an independent speaker alignment delay (200 ms
per channel) and a 4-band parametric EQ for speaker management.
Four high performance limiters are also available.
Unpacking
Each Tannoy VX Series loudspeaker is carefully tested and inspected
prior to shipment. After unpacking, please check 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 and the shipping carrier immediately.

are connected in parallel to speakON 1+ and 1-. Not bi-amp capable.
VX 8.2, VX 12
Inputs on 2 x speakON 4-pole and 2 x barrier strip terminals. Both
barrier strip terminal pairs are connected in parallel to speakON poles
1+ and 1-. Not bi-amp capable.
VX 12HP, VX 12Q, VX 12.2Q, VX 15HP, VX 15Q
Inputs on 2 x speakON 4-pole and 2x barrier strip terminal pair. Both
barrier strip terminal pairs are connected in parallel to speakON poles
1+ and 1- when configured for full-range operation. Bi-amp configuration
may be implemented using speakON connectors only. (See additional
information following.)
Binding post terminals are capable of accepting cables with a conductor of
up to 6 mm sq CSA (AWG 10). Red is positive and black is negative.
Barrier strips accept wire up to 4 mm sq CSA (AWG 12). Barrier strip
polarity is as indicated.
The speakON connectors will accept wire up to 4 mm sq CSA (AWG 12)
with an outside diameter of up to 15 mm and a current rating of 30 A.
When so equipped, the pins of the two speakON sockets identified input/
output on the rear of the input panel are paralleled within the enclosure.
