This manual is intended for the owner, operator, or installer of Tannoy 110 series subwoofers. It is a guide for  
installing, setting up and operating the 110 series in accordance with established codes and practices available at the  
time of publication. It does not and cannot detail all possible mounting or wiring configurations. The end user is advised  
to retain the advice and services of a qualified contractor who is familiar with local codes and trained in the installation  
of Tannoy professional audio systems.  
The 110 family of subwoofers has been engineered to deliver low frequency extension and impact from either a  
concealed ceiling mounted position or an unobtrusive corner position, at any height from floor to ceiling.  
The 110 Series subwoofers feature a 10" long excursion driver capable of low end response down to 31 Hz and power  
handling in excess of 100 Watts. Its design is fully complementary to any Tannoy full range wall or ceiling mount  
loudspeaker.  
Three different subwoofer cabinet designs and six different input " modules" offer a wide range of combinations  
that can meet almost any installation challenge, and fit into any indoor environment.  
Today's sound reinforcement systems–whether in commercial or institutional environments–must handle program  
material that demands high impact, high-fidelity audio reproduction. At the same time, they must be nearly invisible.  
The Tannoy 110 Series of subwoofers meet all of these criteria without compromise.

CABINET OPTIONS  
110TB (Tile Bridge) Cabinet  
Simple yet sophisticated, the 110TB is the first product of its kind: a true ceiling  
mounted subwoofer. Engineered to deliver low frequency extension (-3 dB @  
31 Hz) and impact from a concealed ceiling mounted position, the 110TB inte-  
grates almost invisibly into any indoor environment by using a standard air  
handling vent cover as a speaker grille. The easy to install 110TB drops seamlessly  
into a 2’ x 2’ ceiling tile without any special construction requirements. Each corner  
of the cabinet is fitted with a seismic tether point. This system can also be flown in  
free space via 3/8” threaded rod, chain or aircraft cable. Fire rating is NFPA class A.  
Whether your application calls for low level warmth or high SPL slam, the 110TB  
provides the required punch.  
110SR (Sheet Rock) Cabinet  
The second in the Tannoy family of true ceiling mounted subwoofers, the 110SR  
is engineered to deliver low frequency extension (-3 dB @ 31 Hz) and impact from  
a concealed position. It is specifically designed for flush mount in sheet rock ceilings,  
walls, overhangs or any position offering adequate clearance and suitable struc-  
tural support. The 110SR features seismic tether points, and safe and secure  
installation with a sturdy pre-installation ring. The pre-installation ring is available  
separately for new construction where the sheet rock installers are in ahead of the  
contractor. A unique benefit of the 110SR is that it remains serviceable, and fully  
removeable, from the ground after installation by simply removing the low profile  
grille. Fire rating is NFPA class A.  
110CS (Corner Subwoofer) Cabinet  
The corner mounted subwoofer, a flexible cousin of the 110TB and 110SR, is  
engineered to deliver maximum low frequency extension (-3 dB @ 31 Hz) and  
impact from a corner position. The 110CS may be positioned directly on the floor,  
or at any point up to the ceiling by means of the sturdy mounting rails. Corner  
positioning offers a significant advantage in terms of gain over other conventional,  
free-standing subs. Corner placement turns the floor and walls into direct radiating  
surfaces that can result in several decibels of additional gain. In addition, paintable  
finish and convenient placement options contribute to the decorative appeal of the  
110CS. Like the 110TB and 110SR, the 110 Corner Subwoofer is positioned to  
deliver the most from your music system.

INPUT MODULE OPTIONS  
Passive (standard)  
The basic connection panel supplied with any of the 110 Series subwoofers is an 8 Ohm speaker level input via barrier  
strip. It is highly recommended that the audio signal be low pass filtered via an outboard active crossover. This input  
module is ideal for systems requiring several subs that share a common outboard crossover and amplifier.  
PASSIVE 110 INPUT MODULE  
LOW PASS  
MADE IN CANADA  
Crossover  
Speaker level input and outputs via barrier strip are passively filtered (100 Hz 12 db/octave low pass for the subwoofer  
and 100 Hz 12 dB/octave high pass for the satellite) making this the ideal system for value and simplicity. The total  
impedance load of the satellite speaker(s) should be limited to 3 Ohms or greater. Long wire runs to and from this module  
need to use an appropriate gauge of speaker grade wire to retain proper damping and signal transfer characteristics.

A 70 Volt distribution amplifier is capable of supplying power to a number of remote speakers without concern of long  
cable runs or varied impedance loads (limited to amplifier power and line load). The passive 70 Volt module takes  
advantage of this type of installation with a 150 Watt interface transformer, definitely placing this 70 Volt unit above the  
"wimpy" crowd.

INPUT MODULE OPTIONS  
Active (active subwoofer with 2-channel feed-through)  
A dedicated power amplifier that really brings your 110 Series subwoofer to life. Balanced line level inputs with switchable,  
balanced 80 Hz high pass feed-throughs provide appropriate signals to your satellite speaker's amplifier. An auto stand-  
by feature automatically switches power on and off in response to an audio signal. A full complement of signal condi-  
tioning controls rounds out this very versatile controller (See "Active Module Controls" for complete information.)  
The Active input module is UL and CSA listed.

ACTI VE 110 I NPUT MODULE CONTROLS  
1) INPUT- Two channel (stereo) balanced line level input. Connect via XLR male plugs from your signal source.  
Use high quality 2 conductor shielded audio cable (Belden 8451) for runs of up to 200'. The XLR pinout is: pin 1 (Shield),  
pin 2 (Signal high), pin 3 (Signal low).  
2) HIGH PASS OUTPUT- Two channel line level balanced output (male XLR) filtered of frequencies below 80 Hz  
(12 db/octave). Connects to your amplifier for driving full range satellite speakers. Use high quality 2-conductor shielded  
audio cable (Belden 8451). The XLR pin-out is: pin 1 (Shield), pin 2 (Signal high), pin 3 (Signal low).  
3) POWER MODE- Select AUTO-ON for automatic power-up in the presence of an audio signal. In this mode, the  
unit will revert to stand-by after an audio silence of 15 minutes. Switch to OFF to remove power from the unit. Power  
OFF will also disable the signal at the HIGHPASS OUTPUT.  
THE FOLLOWING CONTROLS ARE FOR THE SUBWOOFER ONLY AND  
DO NOT AFFECT THE SIGNAL TO YOUR SATELLITE SPEAKERS  
4) PHASE- Subwoofer phase may be switched to 0 or 180 degrees to match the phase of your full range drivers.  
The switch is in the correct position when the system exhibits an increase in LF output when switched at a sustained  
level. NOTE: Be sure all full range loudspeakers are wired in common phase during installation.  
5) LF B OOS T- Adjusts up to a 4 dB boost at frequencies below 60 Hz for a more dramatic low end performance.  
6) EARTH LIFT- Switches the internal ground connection from chassis to "floating" to help eliminate any possible  
ground-loops that may cause hum or buzzing in the subwoofer or other pieces of gear.  
7) X-OVER MODE- The LOW PASS position is used in most installations. ALL PASS presents a full range signal to  
the subwoofer. The ALL PASS mode allows the user to defeat the built-in LOW PASS circuit, which may be useful in  
certain situations where an external crossover or processor is used.  
8) X-OVER FREQ- Used to adjust the LOW PASS frequency of the subwoofer. This control only adjusts the signal  
going to the subwoofer as the HIGH PASS crossover frequency is fixed at 80 Hz. (Satellite speakers with limited low end  
response may require a higher crossover frequency for the subwoofer). This control is best adjusted by ear using a  
high quality music signal.  
9) SUB LEVEL- Used to adjust the gain of the subwoofer amplifier without affecting the HIGH PASS output.  
OPTI ONAL J - B OX- If you prefer to hard wire your installation directly into conduit via a J-Box, please specify with  
order. Only available in 110SR and 110TB cabinet options.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110TB  
NEW / EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:  
Before You Begin:  
Please read and understand all of these instructions thoroughly before beginning any work.  
Note that construction work for the installation of all Tannoy products must be done to local building codes by  
qualified, licensed installers. A local building inspector should approve any overhead installations. Tannoy assumes  
no liability for cause and effect of improper installation work.  
Your Package Includes:  
The 110TB ceiling sub is complete with rubber isolation grid around the grille perimeter to drop neatly into a properly  
secured, 2’ x 2’ ceiling grid without vibration or resonance.  
Additional Considerations:  
Survey your site and choose an installation location.  
At this point, you may choose to suspend the subwoofer in free space or in a 2’ space x 2’ space dropped ceiling  
grid installation.  
Parts/ Tools Required: (Installation Dependant)  
Hanger bolts (Fig. 1). These can be purchased for installation into wood, or into metal,  
for example, with a Hilti™ power fastening system.  
• Coupling nuts, and Backing nuts (Figs. 2 & 3).  
• Threaded rod (Fig. 4).  
Turnbuckles (Fig. 5).  
Wire rope, wire rope nuts, thimbles, chain, quick-links (Figs. 5 & 6).  
Wire grid ties (Fig. 8).  
Note: For 2’ space x 2’ space tile bridge drop in, you will require wire grid support ties on each of the four corners of  
the grid immediately beside the subwoofer. This is usually accomplished by means of the same wire support tie used to  
support the grid and for lighting fixtures, etc. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS TETHER THE SUBWOOFER SECURELY TO  
THE BUILDING’S PERMANENT STRUCTURE USING CHAIN (Fig. 9) OR WIRE ROPE. THIS IS THE SEISMIC TETHER  
POINT.  
The list above is a suggested selection of parts only; what you require will depend on your suspension method and  
physical location.  
The 110TB is supplied with four 3/8” closed eyebolts already attached. When suspending in free space, it is  
recommended that you use the same size hangers, nuts, rod, and fittings; alternately, if you are using wire rope,  
1/8” rope and fittings are the smallest you should consider.

2’ x 2’ Tile Grid Installation Procedures:  
1)  
2)  
The 110TB was designed for quick and simple installation directly into a 2’ x 2’ T-bar ceiling grid (Figs. 9 & 10).  
Remove several tiles around the installation location to gain easier access for lacing the subwoofer in the ceiling  
grid.  
3)  
Be certain that there is sufficient hanger wire suspending the grid where you intended to install the subwoofer.  
If not, it may be necessary to add additional grid hanger wires around the perimeter of the location, as required.  
We recommend a minimum of four per sub location located on the main grid support bar within four inches of each  
of the four corners of the subwoofer.  
4)  
Using wire rope or chain, select opposing corners on the subwoofer to connect safety lines, or seismic tethers  
(Figs. 8 & 9) securely to the structure. These lines should be taut enough to support the majority of the weight of  
the 110TB, yet leave enough load against the ceiling grid to prevent the grid from buzzing. Be sure all tether points  
are securely fastened to the subwoofer and achored securely to the substructure of the building.  
Free Space Installation Procedures  
1)  
For an installation in free space, select a location that will allow suspension from directly above the subwoofer.  
Begin by measuring a 19-1/2” square, and at each corner, install a fastener (Fig. 11 & 12) such as the  
recommended hanger bolt to support each corner of the subwoofer.  
2)  
Thread a coupling nut all the way over a hanger bolt, and with a 9/16” socket set, start threading the hanger bolt  
into the support structure. Secure a hanger to a substructure at all four corners. This may be accomplished several  
ways depending on your particular installation.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110TB  
3)  
Back off the coupling nut completely (Fig. 11) and thread on a backing nut with which to lock threads to the coupler.  
Hold the coupler up to the hanger bolt to estimate the half way point of the coupler, and set the backing nut to  
that height before re-installing the coupler and tightening it in place with a socket and an open end wrench.  
Thread a backing nut onto the threaded rod (or an eyebolt) far enough so the rod can be threaded into the coupler  
until it stops, having reached the hanger bolt inside. Now tighten up the backing nut on the rod to secure it from  
turning, until it looks like (Fig. 4). Remember that the rod could otherwise be an eyebolt, if you are using the wire  
rope suspension method, or a Hilti™ type fastener. Be sure tofollow local buildingcodes.  
4)  
Always install and utilize all four points, and it should look like (Fig. 13). In this photo, the turnbuckles have been  
added to the ends of the rods. The closed eyebolt on the turnbuckle has been removed and replaced with the  
threaded rod. Note that the turnbuckle is stamped with an L” to identify the load or live end. Observe the correct  
assembly procedure from rod to eye-hook.  
5)  
6)  
It’s now a fairly simple procedure to place the subwoofer onto the awaiting hooks. Two people, on two separate  
ladders can now hoist the sub into place. When installed, it can easily be leveled with a few turns on the turnbuckles  
(Fig. 14).  
If no suitable point exists directly above the desired location, you can use wire rope or chain to make connections  
that are not perpendicular tothe suspension point(s). Under nocircumstances shouldthe angles exceed+/- 15  
degrees from vertical. Make certain that you follow closely the instructions and regulations for the use of wire  
rope for overhead suspension. Serious injury could result if guidelines and safety margins are not closely obeyed.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110TB  
7)  
In this photo (Fig. 15) we have removed the threaded rod, and installed eyebolts with backing nuts into the couplers,  
as described earlier. Detail of the connection with wire rope is shown in (Fig. 8), which is identical top and  
bottom. Take measurements to approximate the lengths of rope you will need. It might be convenient to make  
some, or perhaps all of your wire ropes on the ground, and use a quick link (Fig. 7) on each end to connect  
between both the suspension point and at the subwoofer. Again, it is important to follow local code and regulations  
for use of wire rope in overhead suspension. Check with your supplier for additional instructions on its use.  
Once two installers have raised the subwoofer to the ropes and the sub is safely suspended, it can be leveled by  
adjusting the rope lengths. Check for even tension on all ropes, and note that it is much easier to let some wire  
slip out of the tighter ropes, rather than trying to pull up and tighten the loose ropes. Once the subwoofer is level,  
the installation is complete.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110SR  
NEW / EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:  
Before You Begin:  
Please read and understand all of these instructions thoroughly before beginning any work.  
Note that all construction work for the installation of all Tannoy products must be done to local building codes by  
qualified, licensed installers. A local building inspector should approve any overhead installations. Always use safety  
goggles when cutting material using a Rotozip™ . Tannoy assumes no liability for cause and effect of improper  
installation work.  
Your Package Includes:  
• 110 SR subwoofer system  
• 11 piece supplied screw package  
• Pre-Installation ring (PIR - SOLD SEPARATELY)  
• Individually packaged grille  
Tools/ Parts Required:  
The following is a list of suggested materials and tools. Your needs may differ slightly at each site:  
• Rotozip™ cutout tool and Guidepoint™ bit  
• 2-1/2” #8 wood screws  
• Cordless screw gun  
• Combination square and /or tape measure  
Additional 2” x 4” lumber, in 24” pieces  
Trim saw (optional)  
Site Preparation and Installation Procedures:  
Please note that the 110SR is designed for installation in a ceiling with exposed ceiling joists. The PIR must be secured  
to the support structure; drywall alone will not support the weight of the subwoofer. Make certain that there is sufficient  
clearance above the joist (minimum 12) for the subwoofer installation.  
Please refer to the photographs as a guideline for installing the PIR into a wood joist or steel stud ceiling.  
1)  
2)  
(Fig. 1) Measure the locations for two 24” strips of 2” x 2” or 2” x 4” blocking. These must be used in order for  
secure mounting to the PIR with 2-1/2” #8 wood screws. Use a combination square to measure the thickness of  
the PIR (approx. 5/8), and then transfer the measurement to the joist.  
(Fig. 2) Screw the blocking to the joist with several evenly spaced screws. (Fig. 3) Fasten the PIR similarly to  
the blocking. Note that there are no pre-drilled holes; use the wood screws to go directly through the PIR,  
keeping a 1” clearance from any T-nuts. Note: the PIR must be installed with T-nuts on the top side. The  
PIR is clearly marked for your safety and convenience.

3)  
(Fig. 4) shows the PIR installed against a steel stud furring channel. Attach the PIR with screws directly through  
the furring and into 24” strips of blocking installed on the upper side of the channel so that the screws will go  
into both. Ensure that overhead work is carried out safely, and according to local building codes.  
4)  
5)  
After the PIR installation is complete, run your signal wires. At this time, have an electrician install electrical  
circuits for your sub, if required.  
Also at this time, we recommend that you install a safety line, typically a light gauge wire rope, from a secure  
point on the support structure above the subwoofer. Attach this to the strapping on either side of the sub and  
suspend it in case the installation is compromised. Follow the instructions for wire rope installation from your  
wire rope supplier, and check with your local building code for specifics.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110SR  
6)  
Leave some excess wire hanging through the opening in the PIR so the drywall contractors can cut a locate hole  
and drop the wires through. You may also want to consult with them on cutting out the opening for the sub  
as they will likely have the power tools (Fig. 11) necessary to quickly and accurately cut out the opening (Fig. 5).  
7)  
If you are inexperienced, but plan on doing this yourself, the job can be made easier by proceeding in two steps.  
1) Hog” out the major inside portion of the material (Fig. 5).  
2) Carefully cut out the recess for attaching the subwoofer (Fig. 6).  
8)  
9)  
A word about the Rotozip™ tool for cutting holes in wallboard: using the correct bit, and accurately setting the  
cutting depth will greatly reduce any errors caused by the tool getting away” or cutting into the PIR. Use only a  
Guidepoint™ bit as pictured (Fig. 11); it will follow the inside perimeter of the PIR. For the first cut, set the  
depth to the thickness of the wallboard plus 5/8” (the thickness of the PIR). Example: 5/8” PIR plus 5/8” wall  
board equals 1-1/4” cutting depth.  
After the majority of the material has been removed from the center of the PIR, you can set the cutting depth for  
the second step. Holding the tool up to the opening, set the depth gauge so that the Guidepoint™ bit will now  
follow the recessed cutaway in the PIR.

10)  
After clearing the remaining debris and dust from the opening, it should look like (Fig. 6). Take note of the  
location and color of the 11 “ T” -nuts, and the location and orientation of the cutout in the PIR. The four corner  
T-nuts are gold in color, to differentiate them from the remaining seven which are for securing the 110SR  
in place.  
11)  
12)  
13)  
You must align the cutout on the 110SR with the same control access cutout (indicated with red paint) on the  
PIR that will allow you to make adjustments to the system later. Orient the signal cable to the cutout, and  
prepare to make the AC mains connection before completing the next step.  
Put the subwoofer into place, resting it on an angle (Fig. 7) on the secondary wooden installation ledge” on  
the side of the sub; this will assist you in getting a hand free to operate a screw gun (Fig. 8). There are seven 3,  
Phillips-head, 8-32 black machine screws for securing the 110SR to the PIR.  
The subwoofer is normally installed in place after painting is completed to keep the sub looking new (Fig. 9).  
Installing the grille (Fig. 10) with the four remaining white 3” Phillips-head 8-32 screws completes the  
110 SR installation.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110CS  
The 110CS subwoofer is easily installed in almost any indoor location where access to a corner is available. Although its  
appearance is handsome in full view, the wide dispersion of its down firing woofer and the dispersion of low frequencies  
in general, allow moderate obstructions such as chairs, plants etc. to be placed directly in front of the cabinet. A corner  
position against solid walls will heighten the bass performance resulting in a woofer sounding larger and more powerful  
than its compact size would suggest.  
In locations where the situation dictates a higher positioning of the subwoofer, the supplied wall brackets for mounting  
to 16” center studs may be utilized.  
All connections and controls are accessed under the snap-on top panel. Note the hole provided in the cabinet rear  
through which to run cables.  
I NS TALLATI ON OF COR NER R AI L KI T  
The 110CS subwoofer is a free standing design. However, with installation of the corner rail kit, mounting at any height  
is possible. The following instructions will guide you in the installation of the rail kit.  
Before You Begin:  
Be sure to follow instructions carefully and conform to any and all local codes regarding this type of installation.  
A qualified, licensed installer should be retained for any behind the wall pre-wiring with final approval of a local  
building inspector. Tannoy assumes no liability for cause and effect of improper installation work.  
Your Package Includes:  
• 110CS subwoofer system  
• Left side rail, 20” long  
• Right side rail, 20” long  
• (4) 3/4” wood screws  
Tools/ Parts Required:  
The following is a list of suggested materials and tools. Your needs may differ slightly.  
• Framing level w/rule  
• Stud sensor  
• Electric drill and drill bits  
• Screwdriver bits  
• Ladder  
• Suitable lag screws*  
• Pencil  
* NOTE: As wall thickness and materials vary, we do not provide lag screws for the wall mounting of the rails.  
Site Preparation and Rail Kit Mounting Instructions:  
New construction and most retrofits should include two single J” Boxes installed in the drywall with power and signal  
cables within. Position the height of the J” Boxes so that they will be hidden by the installed subwoofer cabinet and at  
a vertical placement of no more than 7” from the drywall corner to the outside edge of the J” Box (see Fig. 4). The gap  
in the corner behind the installed subwoofer and the drywall will provide adequate clearance for all cable runs to the  
subwoofer.

1)  
At your desired location, establish a bottom” mark in the corner. For a minimum recommended space of 6”  
between the top of the subwoofer and the ceiling (to access the connector panel), this mark should fall at least  
20” from the ceiling. Extend a 20” level, horizontal pencil line on each side of the corner. Do not install the  
subwoofer too close to the ceiling so as not to allow for connection or adjustment, if required.  
2)  
3)  
4)  
5)  
6)  
Using a stud sensor, locate the end most studs within the 20” horizontal lines. Mark each and extend a plumb  
vertical pencil line from these points up the wall for 20.  
Align the right bracket atop the right 20” horizontal line with the flange on the bottom and the 45 degree cut  
end tight to the corner. Check for level.  
Attach the rail securely to a stud with an appropriate lag screw* through hole D. Be sure the head of the  
screw does not protrude more than 3/16” . (Figs. 1 & 2)  
Position the left rail with its 45 degree cut end tight to the corner, level and even with the right rail and secure  
to a stud through hole D. (Fig. 2)  
There are three holes at the far most end of the rails fromthe corner; “A, “B” andC. Hole B” corresponds to  
a point 16” from hole “ D” and should conform to a standard stud position. Holes “Aand “ C” are 3/4” on each  
side of hole B” and allow for variances of stud location. Should you encounter a stud location inaccessible by  
way of any of these holes, you’ll need to drill new mounting holes in the brackets corresponding to your vertical  
pencil lines. (Fig. 2)  
7)  
8)  
Once you’ve aligned one of the holes to a stud, check for level and securely fasten the rail to the stud with a  
suitable lag screw*. Repeat this procedure for the other rail.  
The rails should be level with each other and securely fastened. They must be capable of supporting a 45 lb load.

2)  
Remove the top from your 110CS by pulling firmly upward at the outer edges of the lid and set the lid aside.  
Lay the cabinet face (logo side) down on a soft surface and remove the bottom plate and spacers by  
unscrewing the 4 Allen head pan bolts on the bottom of the sub. Set these parts aside.  
3)  
4)  
Two people should now lift the sub (with the driver side facing down) and place it atop the two installed rails.  
Push the unit all the way into the corner and hold in place.  
While one person holds the subwoofer, the second person should drill pilot holes for the 3/4” screws through  
rail holes E” and “F” and into the subwoofer cabinet. (Fig. 2)  
* NOTE: As wall thickness and materials vary, we do not provide lag screws for the wall mounting of the rails.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110CS  
5)  
Install the 4 supplied 3/4” wood screws being careful not to strip the holes in the subwoofer.  
Two additional anchor screws should be installed up near the top rear edge of the subwoofer in the cavity  
where the control panel is located. The position of these two screws should correspond to the vertical pencil  
lines drawn earlier.  
6)  
Drill a hole in the cabinet at each pencil line, 1” from the top edge of the cabinet and install an appropriate lag  
screw* through each and into the wall studs.  
PLEASE NOTE that there will be a space between the wall and the cabinet.  
These two screws should be firm, but do not attempt to over tighten or close the cabinet/wall gap by force of  
the screw. The screws are for preventing the subwoofer from falling forward and do not support the weight of  
the unit. (Fig. 3)  
7)  
8)  
Once the unit is level and secure, reinstall the bottom panel and its spacers with the Allen head bolts removed  
earlier. Peel off and remove the bottom rubber feet if desired.  
Replace the snap-on lid once all connections and adjustments to the interface panel have been made.  
(See “Interface Module Options” for details.)  
* NOTE: As wall thickness and materials vary, we do not provide lag screws for the wall mounting of the rails.
