1. Introduction
The Tannoy i9 installation loudspeaker is designed for use in applications requiring high quality music and speech, where wide and controlled coverage is required.
The i9 comprises four 130 mm (5”) low frequency drivers and three 25mm (1”) high frequency drivers. The LF and HF sources are positioned as line source. The coupling effects in the vertical plane result in a narrow and controlled vertical coverage pattern to below 500Hz. The direct radiating drivers provide extremely wide horizontal coverage. The complex frequency shading and integration techniques employed in the internal passive crossover network result in a smooth and uniform frequency response.
The shallow cabinet profile of the i9 loudspeaker allows flexible and discreet installation close to a wall or ceiling. Installation is made simple with a range of flexible mounting and flying hardware.
The controlled dispersion characteristics of the loudspeaker (120°×60°) allows the i9 to be used in highly reverberant environments, by directing the sound into the desired space, whilst minimising reflections from adjacent walls or ceilings. A 5° downward tilt angle on the front baffle allows the i9 to be used close to ceilings without sacrificing vertical coverage
Located in the enclosure is a Tannoy THP60
The i9 can easily be switched from operating either as a low impedance (8Ω) or 100V/70.7V

2. Unpacking
Every Tannoy i9 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, notify your dealer immediately
3. Low Impedance or 70.7/100V distributed line operation?
The i9 can be used as either an 8Ω low impedance or 70.7/100V
Low impedance mode is recommended if the cable runs are relatively short and the number of speakers is small. If, on the other hand, the cable runs are long and the number of speakers large, then a distributed line system is ideal.
