VSXNET Subwoofer Operation Manual rev 2.0.0
2. Introduction
Designed,engineeredandbuiltintheUnitedKingdom,theVSXNETSeriesfromTannoycomprisesofone
band-passandtwodirect-radiatingsubwoofersfordemandingprofessionalandcommercialsoundapplications.
WithintheVSXNETSeries,systemdesignerscanchoosefromavarietyofsizes,powerlevelsandlowfrequency
characteristicstosuitparticularrequirements.
Asindicatedbytheirrespectivesufxes,theVSXNET12.2BPisaband-passdevice,whiletheVSXNET15DR
andVSXNET18DRaredirectradiatingmodels.Thethreeband-passmodelincorporatesTannoy’slatest
engineeringphilosphiesinband-passenclosuredesign,optimisingtonalbalanceandharmonicoutputthrough
preciselyengineeredenclosuregeometryandinnovativetransducerdesign.
Foreaseofinstallation,connectionsareonintegrated,recessedterminationpanelsequippedwithboth
NL4speakON
®
andbarrierstripconnectors.ThespeakONconnectorsareangledandrecessedtoallowush
mountingtoawallorceiling.
AllVSXNETSeriessubwoofersarehousedinrugged,durablebirchplyenclosureswithergonomicIntegrip™
carryhandlesandanintegratedpole-mountrecess.CouplingVSXNETSeriessubwooferstoVXandVXPSeries
full-rangeloudspeakersviatheoptionalVTHpolemountfacilitatesportablePAapplicationswithoutneedfor
tripodstands.
3. Unpacking
EachTannoyVSXNETSeriessubwooferiscarefullytestedandinspectedpriortoshipment.Afterunpacking,
pleasecheckforanyexteriorphysicaldamage,andsavethecartonandanyrelevantpackagingmaterialsin
casetheunitagainrequirespackingandshipping.Intheeventthatdamagehasbeensustainedintransit,notify
yourdealerandtheshippingcarrierimmediately.
4. Preliminary Recommendation
VSXNETSeriessubwooferscanproducehighsustainedoutputlevelsforlongperiodsoftime.Ifusersarein
closeproximity,theselevelscouldleadtopermanenthearingdamage.BecauseTannoyloudspeakers
haveanatural-sounding,atfrequencyresponseandverylowdistortion,usersmaynotbeawareofthepotential
hazard.Forcontinuousexposuretohighlevels,werecommenduseofasoundlevelmetertoensurenoise
levelsarewithinsafetylimits.Themetershouldbecapableofintegratinglevelsoveraperiodofexposurein
conformancewithnoisecontrolstandards.
