OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Unpacking and visual checks

To get the speakers out of the carton without damage open the end flaps fully and bend them right back (remember there are packed in pairs). Turn the package upside-down on the floor and lift the carton vertically up to leave the speakers resting on their packing tray.

Inspect each speaker for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of this having occurred inform the carrier and the supplier. Keep all the packaging if damage has occurred as this will show evidence of excessive handling forces. It is also a good idea to keep the carton if possible for future transportation.

Preliminary recommendation

Initially we would like to give a word of warning on high sound levels, which these speakers are capable of generating over sustained periods of time. Levels over 95 dB for 8 hours per day will eventually cause permanent hearing loss. Because Tannoy Monitors have very low levels of time, amplitude and frequency distortion it is not always obvious that the sound level is high while working with them.

For continuous exposure we recommend the occasional use of a sound level meter capable of integrating the sound level over a period of exposure according to noise control standards. This should be used just to check that noise levels are always within safety limits.
