Important Safety

Instructions

Terminals marked with

this symbol carry

electrical current of

sucient magnitude to constitute risk

of electric shock. Use only high-quality

professional speaker cables with ¼" TS

or twist-locking plugs pre-installed.

Allother installation or modication

should be performed only by

qualiedpersonnel.

This symbol, wherever it

appears, alerts you to the

presence of uninsulated

dangerous voltage inside the enclosure

- voltage that may be sucient to

constitute a risk ofshock.

This symbol, wherever it

appears, alerts you to

important operating and

maintenance instructions in the

accompanying literature. Please read

themanual.

Caution

To reduce the risk of

electric shock, do not

remove the top cover (or the rear

section). No user serviceable parts inside.

Refer servicing to qualiedpersonnel.

Caution

To reduce the risk of

re or electric shock, do

not expose this appliance to rain and

moisture. Theapparatus shall not

be exposed to dripping or splashing

liquids and no objects lled with

liquids, such as vases, shall be placed

on the apparatus.

Caution

These service instructions

are for use by qualied

service personnel only. Toreduce

the risk of electric shock do not

perform any servicing other than that

contained in the operation instructions.

specied by themanufacturer.

12. Use only with

the cart, stand,

tripod, bracket, or

table specied by

the manufacturer,

orsold with

the apparatus. When a cart is used,

use caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination to avoid injury

from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during

lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualied

service personnel. Servicing is required

when the apparatus has been damaged

in any way, such as power supply cord

the recycling of waste electrical and

electronic equipment (EEE).

The mishandling of this type of waste

could have a possible negative impact

on the environment and human health

due to potentially hazardous

substances that are generally

associated with EEE. At the same time,

your cooperation in the correct disposal

of this product will contribute to the

ecient use of natural resources. For

more information about where you can

take your waste equipment for

recycling, please contact your local city

oce, or your household waste

collection service.

8 9Quick Start GuideAMS Series

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing this new AMS Series product. Designed for both speech and music program material, the Tannoy AMS range

provides exceptional sonic quality and long-term reliability in all surface mount applications. The AMS range oers ve models: three

featuring a new generation of Dual Concentric drivers and two with an improved version of Tannoy’s ICT technology. All new drivers have

16 ohm nominal impedance for optimized use with Lab.gruppen ampliers. Other features include IP65 rating for outdoor use, high-

temperature molded cabinets and custom color options. All AMS loudspeakers include a built-in line transformer.

Because all AMS models are true point-source loudspeakers, they may be mounted horizontally or vertically without aecting

performance. All models include a standard mounting yoke; a multi-angle VariBall accessory bracket is available as an option.

2. Safety Notices

Installation Safety Notice

1. The user is responsible for xing the hardware to the surface to ensure safe operation. The xings must support the weight of the

product. Please consult the manual’s specication page for the appropriate weights. Please consult the relevant construction codes

in your region for further information on suitable hardware xing methods.

2. Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers to surfaces to provide security of a

back-up support. A secondary support line should be attached from the safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the

wall. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

3. Tannoy will not be held accountable for any damage caused by incorrect installation.

Electrical Safety Notice: To comply with the standard UL1480, metal-clad exible conduit (BX) is required for connection to the

terminal block for proper earth grounding.

Safety Note: In order to comply with the relevant re safety regulations (i.e. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of

re, that failure of the circuit to which the loudspeaker is connected does not occur before evacuation of the building is complete.

Suitable measures include:

• Use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example constructed from ceramic materials;

• Use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation;

• Use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

3. Unpacking

Every Tannoy product is carefully inspected before shipment. After unpacking, please inspect your product to ensure no damage has

occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of damage, please notify your dealer and retain all shipping materials as your dealer may require

return shipment.

4. Installation

Installation using included yoke bracket

1. Fix the yoke bracket to an appropriate structural surface using a suitable xing method.

2. Remove the yoke trims from the product to access the bracket xing points.

3. Set the transformer tap as detailed in Chapter 5.

4. For indoor installation (proceed to step 5 for outdoor installation): Connect the euro-style plug to the wires, observing correct

polarity. Use pins 1(+) and 2 (–) for connection of the loudspeaker. Use pins 3 (–) and 4 (+) for connection of additional loudspeakers in a

distributed line. NOTE: Tighten pins 3 and 4 even if not used to prevent vibration of the screws.

5. For outdoor installation: Feed the loudspeaker wire(s) through the opening in the neck of the cable entry cover included with the

product.

Connect the euro-style plug to the wires, observing correct polarity. Use pins 1(+) and 2 (

–

) for connection of the loudspeaker. Use

pins 3 (

–

) and 4 (+) for connection of additional loudspeakers in a distributed line. NOTE: Tighten pins 3 and 4 even if not used to

prevent vibration of the screws.

6. Place the loudspeaker inside the yoke bracket. Position buers between bracket and loudspeaker as shown. Attach with supplied xings

using a 5 mm Allen key. Use the longer hex screws supplied when mounting the yoke bracket.

7. Connect the euro plug to the loudspeaker. For outdoor installation, attach the cable entry cover using a 3 mm Allen key and the included

screws. Orient the cover plate so that the neck opening is facing downward to minimise entry of moisture or particulates.

8. Connect a secondary support line to the safety tab at the rear of the cabinet.

Optional multi-angle VariBall bracket

The optional multi-angle accessory bracket utilises a ball-in-socket design to enable free orientation of the loudspeaker at any angle on

either the horizontal or vertical axis. If desired, the loudspeaker orientation can be easily changed within minutes. Download the AMS

VariBall accessory bracket documentation for more details.

5. Setting transformer taps

1. The rotary transformer tapping switch is located directly above the wiring connector.

CAUTION: THE LOUDSPEAKER IS SUPPLIED WITH THE TAP SWITCH IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE

LOUDSPEAKER TO A 70/100 V AMPLIFIER OUTPUT WHILE SWITCHED TO LOW IMPEDANCE MODE.

2. Set the rotary switch to the appropriate position for low impedance operation or for use in 70/100 V distributed systems.

Models with 5-inch drivers are tted with 30 W transformers. In distributed line applications, the transformer can be tapped at 30

W, 15 W and 7.5 W, with an additional 3.75 W tap for 70 V line systems.

Models with 6-inch and 8-inch drivers are tted with 60W transformers. In distributed line applications, the transformer can be

tapped at 60 W, 30 W and 15 W, with an additional 7.5 W tap for 70 V line systems.
