1. Introduction The Tannoy i9 installation loud speaker is designed fo r use in applications requiring high quality music and speech, where wi de a nd controlled coverage is required. The i9 comprises f our 130 mm (5”) low fr equency drivers and three 25mm (1”) high frequency drivers.
When the number of speakers is large over lon g cable runs, it is recommended that a distributed (70.7V/100V) system be used. For distri buted line, the cable need not have a large cross sectional area as for low impedanc e, resultin g in savings in cable cost.
Figure 4d : Series Parallel Combination: 8 Ω When operating in low impedan ce mode the ro tary switch on the ba ck of the cabinet as shown in Figure 4a , below should be se t to ‘8 ohm’ Figure 4a 100V A 70V B D C 8ohm OFF Transformer Tappings A B D C 7.
Cable choice consist s mainly of selecting the correct cross se ctional area in relation to the cable length and the l oad impedance. A sm all cross sectional area would i ncrease the cables’ series resi stance, inducing power loss a nd response variations (dampin g factor).
5.1 Connectors and Cabling for Distributed Line Operatio n Connections are identical t o those used in low impedance mode, via the4-pole Neutrik Speakon connectors (see section 4.
. 6. Polarity Checking It is most important to check the pola rity of the wiring. A simple method of doing this without a pulse based pol arity checker for LF units is as follows: Conne ct two wires to the + ve and - ve terminals of a PP3 battery.
