Please register your Tannoy product online at www. tannoy. com. All of our products have been produced and tested with care and precision to give first-class service. All passive components are guaranteed for a period of five years from the date of purchase from an authorised Tannoy dealer subject to the absence or evidence of misuse, overload, or accidental damage. [. . . ] These are supplied, along with lock nuts, and should be inserted into the threaded holes in the base of the cabinet. Level the speaker and then tighten the lock nuts firmly but without using undue force. Spike locating cups are provided in the accessory pack and these may be used to protect sensitive floor surfaces. Warning: Ensure that the spikes are levelled and that the lock nuts are tightened firmly. The spikes should be pushed through the carpet to locate into the flooring surface by applying pressure to the top of the cabinet. If using on a sensitive floor surface place the protective cups under the levelled spikes. Failure to do so could render the speaker unsteady and result in damage or injury should it be knocked over. 04_ REVOLUTION SIGNATURE MANUAL STAND MOUNTING MODELS Stand mounting or bookshelf speakers should be located securely on stands or a shelf in an appropriate position to place the Dual ConcentricTM driver high frequency unit roughly at ear height when seated in the chosen listening position. Positioning recommendations for stand-mounted speakers can be found under the section entitled Positioning and fine-tuning. For the centre speakers, locate on the plinth provided. INSTALLATION To avoid potential damage to your loudspeaker, ensure that the amplifier is switched OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting any cables. Before switching on double check that all connections are secure and that polarity is correct. REVOLUTION SIGNATURE MANUAL _05 CONNECTION IN SINGLE WIRE MODE The terminal panels have captive link bars fitted as standard to link the positive and negative HF and LF terminals respectively. These must be removed to bi-wire the speakers - see section entitled Connection in Bi-wire mode. For optimum performance in single wire mode, loudspeaker cable connections from the amplifier should be made to the high frequency (HF) terminals of the loudspeaker: (See fig. 3) The positive (plus) terminal on the amplifier left channel (marked + or coloured red) must be connected to the positive HF terminal on the left speaker. The left speaker is the one on the left as you look at the stereo pair from your listening position. The negative (minus) terminal on the amplifier left channel (marked - or coloured black) must be connected to the negative HF terminal on the left speaker. Repeat this connection process for the right speaker. Remember that the positive (+ or red) on the amplifier must be connected to the positive (+ or red) on the speaker and the negative (- or black) to negative. Select a signal source, such as a CD player; switch on the amplifier and slowly turn up the volume control to check that both loudspeakers are reproducing bass and treble information. CONNECTION IN BI-WIRE MODE Please note in bi-wire mode that the link bars must be removed. Unscrew the knurled nuts on both the positive and negative HF and LF terminals and remove the link bars and then replace the colour coded nuts, as they will be required to clamp the bi-wire cables in place. Retain the link bars in a safe place for possible future use. 4) Be sure that the amplifier is switched off and then prepare the two sets of cabling for each 'side' of the system separately. Measure and cut four lengths of cable, two per speaker. Label two of the cable lengths Left LF and Left HF (low frequency and high frequency) then repeat this process for the right pair. [. . . ] As with the main speakers the front baffle panel should be as near as possible in line with the screen surface. The Revolution Signature DC LCR centre channel can be wired in single wire, bi-wire or bi-amp modes. 3, 4 & 5 for connection guidance bearing in mind that connection should be made to the dedicated centre channel output on your A/V processor amplifier/s. Warning: Ensure that the chosen support platform is strong and stable enough to take the weight of the Revolution Signature DC LCR. It is not recommended that speaker be balanced on top of the tv or plasma screen. REAR EFFECTS SPEAKERS The integrity of the special effects soundstage created by the source material will be compromised if the speakers are installed on the sidewalls, for that reason they should always be placed behind the main viewing position.
