System 800 USER MANUAL.
INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Tannoy System 800 Monitors. This loudspeaker is a very compact, professional near-field reference monitor. Using an advanced Dual Concentric 8” driver, if offers the advantages of the point source operation in a very cost-effective design.
Installing and connecting the loudspeakers. When choosing a suitable location for the monitors, bear in mind that the physical mounting of loudspeakers can have a large influence on performance. For best results the monitors should be mounted on a rigid structure, supported on four pads making contacts with the laminated panel.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND PHILOSOPHY A loudspeaker design naturally divides into various parts : cabinet, drive unit(s) and crossover. The design of these parts cannot take place in isolation as they are all interdependent.
the emitted sound field, diffractions and reflections caused by the cabinet boundaries are too often overlooked although they are the cause of most of the irregularities heard and measured in the higher frequency areas. In that respect conventional rectangular, sharp corner boxes perform especially poorly.
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.
Checking the speaker at higher levels is permissible, provided that the lower frequency of the sweep is limited according to the voltage level ; for instance with levels exceeding 10V rms the frequency should be kept above 100 Hz. List of spare parts.
