Please note in bi-wire mode that the link plates should first be removed.

•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.

•If your amplifier is not equipped with separate output terminals for bass and treble information then, at the amplifier end of the cables, twist the Left LF+ (positive) and the Left HF+ (positive) together. Connect these to the amplifier Left channel positive terminal marked + (plus) or coloured red.

Twist the Left LF- (negative) and the HF- (negative) cables together and connect them to the amplifier Left channel negative terminal marked - (minus) or coloured black. At the loudspeaker end connect the cables labeled Left LF+ and Left LF- to the left hand loudspeaker LF terminals, ensuring that you note the polarity markings on the cable sheathing.

Then proceed to connect the Left HF+ and Left HF- to the HF terminals on the same loudspeaker.

•Repeat this process to connect the right hand loudspeaker to the amplifier right channel output, once again ensuring that polarity is correct throughout.

Switch the amplifier on with the volume control set at its lowest setting. Select a favourite source and slowly turn up the volume to a low level. Check that bass and treble information is being reproduced from both speakers- if not, switch off the amplifier and recheck the connections.

Bi-Amping extends the principle of bi-wiring one stage further. In this connection option separate power amplifiers are used for bass and treble signals in each loudspeaker. Four mono (or two stereo) amplifiers of the same type are required for a stereo pair of loudspeakers.

Ensure that the cable links between the loudspeaker terminals are removed or amplifier damage may result and that correct polarity is maintained throughout.

If two stereo amplifiers are used, it is recommended that one amplifier supply bass information to left and right loudspeakers and the other, the treble information.

Avoid potential damage to your amplifier - ensure that all connections are secure and the polarity is correct in all wiring.

CONNECTION OF EARTH OR ‘GROUND’ LEAD

To optimise performance further, use a shielded or screened loudspeaker cable. The screening termination should be connected to the earth or ground (green) terminal on the loudspeaker and to the ground or earth connection on the amplifier.

Alternatively if you are not using a screened loudspeaker cable but wish to utilise the earthing facility, run a single cable between the earth terminal on the loudspeaker and the amplifier, such as the Tannoy TLC cable.

10 specifications

Tannoy, a name synonymous with high-quality audio reproduction, has captured the hearts of audiophiles and professionals alike for generations. Among its revered line of products is the Tannoy 10, a speaker that encapsulates the company's commitment to innovation, craftsmanship, and performance.

The Tannoy 10 features a 10-inch dual concentric driver, a hallmark of Tannoy's design philosophy. This technology combines the woofer and tweeter into a single point source, ensuring that sound waves emanate from the same location. This alignment minimizes phase cancellation and ensures a coherent, immersive soundstage. The result is a smooth frequency response across a wide range, making the Tannoy 10 ideal for both music playback and critical listening environments.

In terms of build quality, Tannoy leaves no stone unturned. The cabinet is constructed from high-grade materials, designed to minimize resonance and unwanted coloration of sound. The internal bracing adds rigidity to the structure, helping to maintain clarity and precision, even at higher volume levels. The Tannoy 10’s aesthetic appeal is enhanced by a classic wood veneer finish, which not only looks stunning but also complements a variety of home decor styles.

One of the standout characteristics of the Tannoy 10 is its versatility. Whether used in a home studio for music production, as part of a high-fidelity home audio system, or for public address applications, this speaker can handle it all. Its robust power handling capacity and sensitivity allow it to perform well in both small and large environments, making it a go-to choice for many professionals.

The speaker is also equipped with advanced technologies such as the Tannoy Waveguide, which enhances high-frequency dispersion, allowing for a wider sweet spot. This means that listeners can enjoy consistent audio quality from various positions within the room. Coupled with a refined crossover design, the Tannoy 10 effectively manages the transition between frequencies, ensuring a balanced output.

In conclusion, the Tannoy 10 is a testament to Tannoy's legacy of sound excellence. With its dual concentric driver technology, exceptional build quality, versatile application, and thoughtful engineering, it stands out as one of the premier choices for audiophiles and professionals seeking unparalleled audio performance. Whether for casual listening or studio use, the Tannoy 10 continues to impress with its ability to deliver rich, detailed sound that brings music to life.
