INTRODUCTION

Tannoy TS series high performance subwoofers for Home Theatre applications have been built and tested with care and precision to provide first class performance and reliable operation. To ensure maximum benefit from ownership and for reasons of safety, please read through all the information in this owner’s manual before operating and using your system for the first time.

Tannoy TS Series subwoofer systems are primarily designed for use with the following equipment:

An AV or Home Cinema Receiver with integral 5.1 or 6.1 decoder, 5 or 6 separate power amplifiers and a line level LFE or Subwoofer output.

An integrated DVD player with 5.1 or 6.1 decoder, 5 or 6 power amplifiers and a line level LFE or Subwoofer output.

A 5.1 or 6.1 decoder with a line level LFE or Subwoofer output.

5.1or 6.1 refers to the number of speakers + subwoofer. A 5.1 system has 5 speakers of varying functions and 1 subwoofer. Decoders separate digital signals from DVD, CD or Digital Broadcast sources into 5 or 6 separate audio channels which feed separate speakers in a Home Theatre system. They also provide an extra output channel which feeds a subwoofer, usually through an RCA (or Phono) socket and a screened coaxial cable. You will need such a cable of suitable length to set up your system, see below.

Tannoy TS Series subwoofers provide very low frequency sounds and special effects which are beyond the capability of the other speakers in the system. TS subwoofers support low frequencies for all 5 or 6 audio channels. They are specially designed very high power units with their own built-in amplification capable of reproducing very low frequencies at realistic levels to enhance music and movie experiences. In a Home Theatre system the 5.1 or 6.1 decoder provides a special subwoofer output signal which you connect directly into the Tannoy TS Series subwoofer, using a suitable cable. The subwoofer output socket on your equipment is usually labelled ‘LFE’ (Low Frequency Effects) or ‘SUB’ or ‘SUBWOOFER’ output.
