Unpacking and Visual Checks
Every Tannoy VXP product is carefully tested and inspected before being packaged and leaving the factory. After unpacking your loudspeaker, please inspect for any exterior physical damage, and save the carton and any relevant packaging materials in case the loudspeaker again requires packing and shipping. In the event that damage has been sustained in transit, please notify your dealer immediately.

System Configuration
All loudspeakers in the VXP range are integrated designs which include system specific EQ and protection circuitry, without the need for external amplification. For room equalization, delay and other commissioning or setup functions, we recommend you use a Vnet SC1 or TDX1 Digital Controller. Please refer to the full VXP Series manual.
AC Power Requirements
VXP products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON mains connectors which mate with the Neutrik NAC3FCA Cable connector, providing quick lock with a securing lever at
The IDEAA™ module in VXP loudspeakers has a universal power supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply from 70 V to 265 V (+/- 10%) at 50 or 60 Hz, although with reduced power output capability at the low voltage extremes. This allows continued operation even when using long, thin power cables, or when powered from portable generators that are unable to maintain full nominal voltage.
Auto and Manual Power Modes
VXP loudspeakers offer two modes for power on/off.
AUTO mode – This is the default mode as delivered. AUTO engages the
MANUAL mode – The power mode may be switched to MANUAL to disable the
Cooling
Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do not limit free ventilation and movement of air around the back panel. Ensure that there is at least 100mm (4”) of space around all sides of the product for ventilation. VXP products do not have cooling fans; the highly efficient switch mode power supply and proprietary Class D output stage have low current draw and therefore require only the convection cooling provided by the rear panel heat sink.
