Care of the Cabinet
The cabinet is constructed from carefully selected solid hardwood and veneers that have been hand finished to exacting standards. The
wood should only be cleaned with a dry cloth or with a light application of quality non-silicone furniture polish, taking care not to
get polish on the grille cloth.
In common with all solid wood furniture, exposure to extremes of heat, cold and varying humidity will cause the wood to ease slightly.
Therefore it is recommended that the loudspeaker is protected from environmental extremes to guard against any such occurrence.
Any wood will change colour when subjected to the UV content of ambient light. A light veneer such a Cherry will darken appreciably
to a rich natural patina.

Faultfinding
Tannoy loudspeakers are designed and manufactured to be reliable. When a fault occurs in a hi-fi system the effect is always heard
through the loudspeakers although they may not be the source of the fault. It is important to trace the cause of the problem as accurately
as possible. A fault heard on one source (only CD or tape for instance) is most unlikely to be a loudspeaker problem. Loudspeakers do
not in themselves generate hum, hiss or rumble although high quality, wideband width loudspeakers may emphasise such problems.
Tannoy Quality
An important part of Tannoy's design philosophy is to produce loudspeakers with a level of performance beyond the most exacting
specifications of contemporary source equipment.
Loudspeaker design is no longer a 'black art'. It is now possible to use computers to model designs and predict results. Comprehensive
test equipment is used to pinpoint problems with cabinets or drive units; anechoic chambers help in producing accurate measurements.
Both computer aided design (CAD) and sophisticated test equipment are used extensively at Tannoy, but we always remember that
listening tests must be the final judge.
Tannoy follows a policy of stringent quality control procedures using sophisticated measurement facilities. All drive units are designed
and manufactured by Tannoy. All incoming parts are thoroughly tested to ensure that they are as specified. Not only is all data
computerized, but rigorous testing procedures during construction ensures every loudspeaker meets or exceeds our exacting standards.
Warranty and Service
Your Tannoy Prestige loudspeakers will operate for many years without trouble provided that simple precautions are followed.
Tannoy loudspeakers are warranted against manufacturing defects in material or craftsmanship over a period of 5 years from the date
of purchase. This warranty is in addition to your statutory rights as a customer. Tannoy cannot however be held responsible for failures
caused by abuse, unauthorised modifications, improper operation or damage caused by faults elsewhere in your system.
Tannoy Ltd or its authorised Distributor or Service Agent will make the determination of the cause of failure based on physical inspection
of the failed parts. If you suspect a problem with your loudspeakers then in the first instance discuss it with your Tannoy Dealer. The
Dealer has the expertise and experience to help you troubleshoot the system and assess the situation. If you continue to have problems
contact your Tannoy Distributor or Tannoy Customer Services at our Coatbridge address.
Due to our policy of continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice.
Caution
The high peak power handling of Tannoy loudspeakers will allow responsible use with larger amplifiers on wide dynamic range material.
Take care with any amplifier, irrespective of power output, to avoid abnormal conditions such as switch on surges or output overload
(clipping) that may result in peaks of power measuring greatly over the rated output.
