3.0: UNPACKING AND VISUAL CHECKS
Every Tannoy VNET“ 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: PRELIMINARY RECOMMENDATION
A word of warning on high sound levels - these speakers are capable of generating high output levels over sustained periods
of time and such levels, over 95dBspl for 8 hours per day, can eventually cause permanent hearing loss. Since Tannoy
loudspeakers have a natural-sounding flat frequency response and low distortion, it’s possible not to be aware just how high
the sound level is high while working with them.
For continuous exposure we recommend the occasional use of a sound level meter. This should be capable of integrating the
sound level over a period of exposure according to noise control standards and used just to check that noise levels are always
within safety limits.

5.0: OPERATION
The range of products are fully integrated designs, all speaker management functions which include driver EQ, dynamic
limiting, & crossover functions are carried out within the DSP, therefore the need for external amplification, active crossovers
and limiters is not required. The only input from the user is crossover between full range cabinets & subwoofers, and room
equalization (if necessary).
When routing audio, units may be daisy chained together by linking the Input/link XLR connectors. It is necessary to have
power local to each speaker, as it is not possible to daisy chain the AC power connectors.
