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. The LF and HF source s are positioned as line source. The co[...]

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. All speakers are placed in parallel with the outpu t of the amplifier, allowing easy ins[...]

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). Connectors should be wi red with a minimum of 2.5 mm 2 (13 gauge) cable.[...]

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 4.1): Pin 1+ is Positive Pin 1- is Negative Distributed line systems are much mo re effici ent in power transfer and do not re quire as large cables as in lo w impedance[...]

. 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. Apply the wire that is connected to the + ve terminal of the battery to the speaker cable leg which yo[...]
