INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Tannoy System 600A Active Monitor. The System 600A is a very compact, active near-field reference monitor. Using an advanced Dual Concentric 6.
the monitors should be mounted on a rigid structure, preferably with the use of soft pads (rubber, Sorbothane, Blu-Tak etc ..). When used in the landscape orientation, we recommend location of the monitors so that the drive units are toed inwards, with their axes oriented towards the listening position.
If the source itself has a balanced output, use shielded twin conductor cable (microphone cable) connecting pin 2/T to pin 2/T, pin 3/R to pin 3/R, and pin 1/S to pin 1/S (using the shield).
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PHILOSOPHY A loudspeaker design naturally splits into various parts: cabinet, lower frequency, higher frequency, and crossover which, for the System 600A, is integrated in the amplifier assembly. The design of these parts cannot take place in isolation, as they are all interdependent.
attention paid regarding the sculptured front panel to provide smooth, rounded edges which minimise side diffractions. Another problem involved in cabinet design is to ensure that the box will effectively behave as neutrally as possible, ideally without interfering at all with the sound field emitted by the drive unit and the port.
SERVICING Cabinet finish. To remove marks and scuffs, use a medium soft brush. If necessary, a little warm water and detergent can be used, but under no circumstances use a solvent or abrasive cleaner. The surface will change colour when wet but will return to normal when dry.
Amplifier. A fuse is located just under the mains input (location 3 in figure 1). Replacement is simple and a spare fuse is provided inside the fuse housing itself. Always use the correctly rated fuse, as indicated on the silk screen printing, there are two different types according to the operating voltage.
