LED Functions
Limit LED - When illuminated this indicates that the
system is approaching clipping. An occasional icker of
theredLEDontheloudestpeaksisacceptable.IfthisLED
remainsredformorethanthedurationof briefdynamic
peaks, or lights continuously then the system is being
overdriven.IftheredLEDilluminatesexcessively,reduce
theoutputlevelofthemixer,orothersourcetothespeaker.
Signal LED – The Green LED indicates that a useable
signalispresentattheinput.
Power LED – When AC mains is connected to the
speakerandthepowerswitchisturnedon,thebluelower
LEDwillilluminate.
Audio Connections
The signal input & link connectors are fully balanced.
Whenconnectingabalancedsignalbesuretowiretothe
followingstandard:
SIGNAL XLR CONNECTOR
Hot(+)  Pin2
Cold(-)  Pin3
Shield(GND) Pin1
Inastandardbalancedinterconnectiontherearetwosignal
conductorsandashield.Theshieldisnormallyreferenced
togroundatoneorbothends.Manytimestheshieldis
liftedatoneend,usuallyattheinputtoeliminate“ground
loops”ornoise.Thisshouldbedoneonlyasalastresort;
althoughitwillreducehum,theshieldscanactasradio
antennas and pick up radio frequencyinterferencefrom
theenvironment.
Multiple enclosures may be driven from a single audio
source;simplyplugthesignalsourceoutputintotherst
XLRinputsocket,andpatchthatspeaker’sXLRlinktothe
nextspeaker’sXLRinputsocket.
Gain Structure and Limiting
The VSXNET gain structure is designed to allow a low-
levelsourcedevicetodrivetheloudspeakertofulloutput.
Maximum specied SPL will be achieved with a 4 dBu
inputsignal.Thereissufcientheadroominthesignalpath
toaccommodateinputlevelsof10oreven20dBu,with
highqualitycompressionengagedasneededtomaintain
sonicintegritywithoutclipping.
Equalisation
The VSXNET loudspeaker requires no equalisation or
correction to overcome system limitations; equalisation
is necessary only to compensate for difcult acoustic
environments.
Rigging and Safety Procedures
TheinstallationofTannoyProfessionalloudspeakersusing
the dedicated hardwareshould carried out only by fully
