Mounting and Fixing
Arraying
HF
Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual
coverage patters of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the VXP cabinet greatly simplifies the creation of effective arrays, allowing
seamless wide horizontal coverage using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.
LF
By placing the VXP cabinets with the 30 degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth
transition. In many applications the 90 or 75 degree dispersion pattern may be sufficient in the horizontal plane. It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using
the above method (in a central cluster for example) where greater vertical dispersion is required. As shown in the above diagram, one of the VXP cabinets is inverted to
allow the optimum splay angle to be achieved. The grille can be simply removed from this cabinet and be replaced for matching orientation. The grille is held in
position by the two fixing screws on the top and bottom lips of the cabinet.

The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple, cost effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy
Professional loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for its specific role. To ensure the safest possible use of
the hardware covered in this guide, it must be assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specified. The information in this Quick Start Guide relating to the
assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience
and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory
used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling
claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement
can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in
accordance with the maker's instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation or flying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components
delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. MUSIC Tribe, including the MUSIC Tribe companies listed on the enclosed
"Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product. Regular
checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is flown,
the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc.)
at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
