1. Introduction  
The Tannoy V12HP utilises a high performance Dual Concentricdrive unit – the 12” (300mm)  
PowerDual. The substantially increased efficiency and power handling of this all-new driver design  
ensures that the V12HP is capable of delivering high SPL’s in even the most demanding  
applications. Like all Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeakers the Tannoy V12HP exhibits true constant  
directivity, providing an even frequency response over the entire area of coverage. The output  
capability makes the Tannoy V12HP suitable for much larger audience sizes or venues requiring very  
high SPL’s, such as nightclubs.  
The V12HP comprises one 12inch PowerDualDual Concentricdriver in which the low frequency  
(LF) and high frequency (HF) sources are coincidentally aligned to a point source, resulting in a  
smooth uniform frequency response over a wide area of coverage either as a portable stand alone  
system or in a multi-cabinet array. As the system is a point source, clusters and arrays have minimal  
lobing. These features are inherent and achieved without the use of any electronic signal processing.  
The asymmetric cabinet profile allows flexible and discreet installation. As a foreground system,  
installation is made simple with a range of Secur-ET mounting hardware, designed specifically for  
the V series – or the system can be flown using the integral M10 inserts.  
For portable stage use the birch ply cabinet has a recessed carrying handle on the rear of the  
cabinet and a blanking plate, which can be removed to install an optional pole mount. As a  
versatile low profile stage monitor, the conical coverage pattern gives the performer greater freedom  
of movement than allowed by conventional horn loaded designs.  
The V12HP has been designed for use with the Tannoy TX2 controller, which will equalise the system  
resulting in improved bass performance as well as providing a 2-way crossover function, operating  
at 100Hz, for use with separate sub-bass systems.  
2. Unpacking  
Every Tannoy V12HP 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. Connectors/Cabling  
The V12HP is fitted with 4-pole Neutrik Speakonconnectors. Speakon has the following  
advantages over EP and XLR type connectors: All terminations are solderless; this makes life easier  
at the time of installation or when field servicing is required. Contacts will accept 6 sq. mm wire with  
an outside diameter of up to 15mm and a current rating of 30 Amps. The pins of the 2 Speakon  
sockets identified input/output on the rear of the input panel are paralleled within the enclosure.  
Tannoy has adopted the conventional wiring standard for the V12HP product :-

Cable choice consists mainly of selecting the correct cross sectional area in relation to the cable  
length and the load impedance. A small cross sectional area would increase the cables series  
resistance, inducing power loss and response variations (damping factor).  
Connectors should be wired with a minimum of 2.5 sq. mm (12 gauge) cable. This will be perfectly  
satisfactory under normal conditions. In the case of very long cable runs the wire size should exceed  
this, refer to the following table for guidance:-

4. Polarity Checking  
It is most important to check the polarity of the wiring before the speaker system is flown. A simple  
method of doing this without a pulse based polarity checker for LF units is as follows: Connect two  
wires to the +ve and -ve terminals of a PP3 battery. Apply the wire which is connected to the +ve  
terminal of the battery to the speaker cable leg which you believe to be connected to pin 1+ of the  
speaker connector and likewise the -ve leg of the battery to pin 1-.  
If you have wired it correctly the LF drive unit will move forward, indicating the wiring is correct. All  
that remains now is to connect the +ve speaker lead to the +ve terminal on the amplifier and the -  
ve lead to the -ve terminal on the amplifier. If however the LF driver moves backwards, the input  
connections need to be inverted.  
If problems are encountered, inspect the cable wiring in the first instance. It should also be noted  
that different amplifier manufacturers utilise different pin configurations and polarity conventions, if  
you are using amplifiers from more than one manufacturer, check the polarity at the amplifiers as  
well as the loudspeakers.

5. Amplification & Power Handling  
As with all professional loudspeaker systems, the power handling is a function of voice coil thermal  
capacity. Care should be taken to avoid running the amplifier into clip (clipping is the end result of  
overdriving any amplifier). Damage to the loudspeaker will be sustained if the amplifier is driven into  
clip for any extended period of time. Headroom of at least 3dB should be allowed. When evaluating  
an amplifier, it is important to take into account its behaviour under low impedance load conditions.  
A loudspeaker system is highly reactive and with transient signals it can require more current than  
the nominal impedance would indicate.  
Generally a higher power amplifier running free of distortion will do less damage to the loudspeaker  
than a lower power amplifier continually clipping. It is also worth remembering that a high powered  
amplifier running at less than 90% of output power generally sounds a lot better than a lower power  
amplifier running at 100%. An amplifier with insufficient drive capability will not allow the full  
performance or the loudspeaker to be realised. (See technical specifications section for  
recommended amplifier power)  
It is important when using different manufacturers amplifiers in a single installation that the have  
very closely matched gains, the variation should be less than +/- 0.5dB. This precaution is important  
to the overall system balance when only a single active crossover is being used with multiple  
cabinets; it is therefore recommended that the same amplifiers be used throughout.  
6. Crossovers  
The V12HP is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network. If higher  
peak outputs and additional low frequency output is required then the V12HP can be used in  
conjunction with the Tannoy TX2 controller/crossover which provides high pass filtering and a  
degree of parametric equalisation, as well as a fixed crossover point for use with sub-bass  
loudspeakers (See the TX2 user manual for further information). The Tannoy TDX2 Digital controller  
will also perform the above functions with additional control and features including limiting and  
delay (See the relevant literature on the TDX2 for further information).  
The V12HP can be easily configured for Biamp operation in conjunction with the TDX2 or other  
OEM controller/crossovers. A detailed description along with system parameters is given in Section  
13 of this manual.  
7. Equalisation  
The V12HP loudspeakers are designed to need no equalisation or correction to overcome system  
limitations. As a result, it will only need equalisation to compensate for difficult acoustic  
environments.  
Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater  
problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be applied gently and smoothly. The  
V12HP loudspeaker is a point source, phase coherent designs and violent equalisation will be  
detrimental to the overall sound quality.  
When a loudspeaker is used in close proximity to another, comb filtering effects can create coverage  
problems, comb filtering creates an uneven frequency response across the coverage area due to  
constructive and destructive interference effects between the sources. The amount of comb filtering is  
affected by the spacing of the relative sound sources. Minimising this effect cannot be cured by  
equalisation (see the following section for more details).  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
8. Arraying  
As discussed in the previous section, comb filtering is a phenomenon, which cannot not be cured by  
equalisation. Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising  
problematic combing frequencies. Arrays should be constructed so that the individual coverage  
patters of each loudspeaker combine with minimal overlap. The design of the V12HP cabinet greatly  
simplifies the creation of effective arrays, allowing seamless wide (130 degree) horizontal coverage  
using two loudspeakers without the need for tedious experimentation.  
By placing the V12HP cabinets with the 30 degree angled rear panels together, minimal dispersion  
pattern overlap is achieved, guaranteeing an extraordinarily smooth transition.  
In many applications the 75-degree dispersion pattern may be sufficient in the horizontal plane.  
It is also possible to stack the cabinets vertically using the above method, say for use in a central  
cluster, where greater vertical dispersion is required.  
V12HP  
As shown in the above diagram, one of the V12HP cabinets is inverted to allow the optimum  
splay angle to be achieved. The grill can be simply removed from this cabinet and be replaced  
in the correct orientation. The grill is held in position by the two fixing screws on the top and  
bottom lips of the cabinet.

12.1 General Safety Advice  
!
The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple,  
cost effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional  
loudspeakers. This hardware has been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor  
for its specific role. To ensure the safest possible use of the hardware covered in this guide, it must  
be assembled in strict accordance with the instructions specified. The information in these manuals  
relating to the assembly and the safe use of these accessories must be understood and followed. The  
installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers using the dedicated hardware should only ever be  
carried out by fully qualified installers, in accordance with all the required safety codes and  
standards that are applied at the place of installation.  
WARNING: As the legal requirements for flying change from country to country, please consult you  
local safety standards office before installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly  
check any laws and bylaws prior to commencing work.  
Tannoy Professional hardware has been designed for use with specific Tannoy Professional  
loudspeakers, and is not designed or intended for use with any other Tannoy Professional products,  
or any other devices. Using Tannoy Professional hardware for any purpose other than that indicated  
in this guide is considered to be improper use. Such use can be very dangerous as overloading,  
modifying, assembling in anyway other than that clearly stated in the manual, or damaging Tannoy  
Professional hardware will compromise safety.  
The component parts of any Tannoy Professional hardware device must only be assembled using the  
accessory kits supplied and in strict compliance with the user manual. The use of other accessories  
or non-approved methods of assembly may result in an unsafe hardware system by reducing the  
load safety factor. Welding, or any other method of permanently fixing hardware components  
together or to the integral fixing points in the cabinet should never be used.  
Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy  
Professional hardware device, the installer must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and  
securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely, securely, and in  
accordance with the manual, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question,  
using only the fixing holes provided as standard and covered in the manual. Secure fixings to the  
building structure are vital. Seek help from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in  
any doubt.  
All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of work and  
entertainment must, be provided with an independent, correctly rated and securely attached  
secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device. This secondary safety must prevent  
the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”) should the principle hardware  
device fail.

SECUR ET – VMY Yoke Bracket  
The VMY is an adjustable yoke bracket (available in both black and white), allowing the user to fly  
the Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker in either portrait or landscape orientations using the same bracket  
(Figures 1 & 2).  
The Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker is attached to the bracket using the M10 bolts and washers  
supplied in the accessory pack.  
Only the screws, fasteners, shakeproof and plain washers specified on figure 3. should be used to  
assemble the VMY bracket  
!
Pivot studs (Figure 3.) (Supplied with the VMY) are attached to the cabinet using the M10 bolts  
supplied. These bolts locate on the M10 inserts in the cabinet. The VMY adjustable yoke bracket then  
connects to the centre of these mounting plates (using the M10 screws supplied). These bracket pick  
up points which are in line with the bracket’s axis of rotation, are also positioned on the centre of  
gravity of the V12HP in both orientations to allow easy adjustment for optimum coverage.  
The vertical distance between the apex of the VMY and the top of the Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker  
can be adjusted by connecting to varying mounting points on the bracket allowing varying degrees  
of vertical rotation. The top centre fixing hole of the VMY then provides a pick up point for a variety  
of Tannoy Professional hardware accessories including the VMB wall mounting plate (shown in  
Figure 2.), the VCS ceiling saddle, and the VPC pole clamp.

12.3 SECUR ET – VMB Wall Mounting Bracket  
The VMB is wall mounting bracket for the  
attachment of a VMY, available in both black  
and white finishes, allowing the user secure  
the Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker in either  
portrait or landscape orientations to a wall.  
Fig. 1  
The Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker is attached to  
the bracket using the accessories supplied.  
This wall-mounting bracket has a larger wall  
plate than previous models to maximise the  
integrity of fixing obtained. There are also two  
holes either side of the fixing beam to allow  
the speaker cable the pass through the wall  
plate and along the fixing beam to the  
terminal panel resulting in a more discrete  
installation.  
The fixing beam on the VMB has a number of  
mounting points from which the VMY can be  
attached at varying distances from the  
mounting surface.  
Only the screws, fasteners, shakeproof and  
plain washers specified on figure 3. should  
be used to assemble the VMB bracket

12.4 SECUR ET – VEB Eyebolt  
The Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker can be flown  
with high quality VEB M10 eyebolts with collar to  
BS4278:1984. The loudspeakers are equipped  
with internal steel braces, which also double as  
the flying points, and accept VEB M10 eyebolts.  
To install the VEB M10 eyebolts remove the  
original M10 counter sunk screws from the  
locations you wish to install the VEB M10 eyebolts.  
Then replace these counter sunk M10 screws with  
the VEB M10 eyebolts. The M10 insert on the rear  
of the cabinet also accepts a VEB M10 eyebolt  
and should only be used for tilting the  
Fig. 1  
loudspeaker to the desired angle.  
Important: It is imperative for safety reasons that  
two eyebolts linked to two independently fixed  
straps are used per cabinet. VEB eyebolts should  
be installed into the relative sides of the cabinet,  
and should NEVER be installed on the top of the  
cabinet. Never suspend one enclosure from  
another to form a line array or cluster using these  
fittings.  
!
The correct method is shown in figure 2.  
Never attempt to use formed eyebolts i.e. formed  
from a steel rod and bent into an eye.  
Only use the outer fixing points on the top and  
sides of the V12HP cabinet for fixing eyebolts. The  
inner two fixing points on each side of the cabinet  
are for dedicated bracketry (VMY) only.

12.5 SECUR – ET VTH Pole Mount  
The Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker is fitted as  
standard with a blanking plate on the base  
of the cabinet. However, should you ever  
wish to mount the V12HP onto a standard  
35mm pole mount this blanking plate can  
be quickly and easily removed and  
replaced by a VTH pole mount. The same  
screws which secure the blanking plate  
should be used to secure the VTH in  
position.  
12.6 SECUR – ET VCS Ceiling Saddle  
VCS  
The VCS ceiling saddle available in both  
black and white finishes, and is to be used  
in conjunction with the VMY and a length of  
M10 threaded rod (not supplied by Tannoy  
Limited). The VCS ceiling saddle allows the  
Tannoy V12HP loudspeaker to be  
suspended at a user defined distance from  
the ceiling as shown in Figure 1.  
Included with the VCS is an M10 nut. This  
should be used to secure and lock the  
threaded rod in place at the top of the  
ceiling saddle.  
Fig. 1  
12.7 SECUR – ET VPC Pole Clamp  
The VPC pole clamp can be used along with the  
VMY yoke bracket to suspend a Tannoy V12HP  
loudspeaker from an overhead bar, truss or  
suitable structure. Only the parts supplied  
should be used to secure the VPC to the VMY  
yoke bracket.

13. System Configuration & OEM Controllers  
13.1 Passive or Biamp?  
The V12HP is supplied as standard for passive operation via the internal crossover network and is  
connected as shown in Figure 1. To reconfigure for Biamp operation simply follow the wiring  
schematic as shown in Figure 2. This mode of operation bypasses the internal passive crossover  
network and connects the input seakon connectors directly to the LF & HF sections of the driver  
separately (see section 3.1 for connection details). The Biamp controller parameters in section 13.3  
must be adhered to for optimum performance.  
A loudspeaker driven in Biamp mode offers a number of performance advantages, such as  
increased system headroom. Audio program materiel is made up of many different frequencies and  
harmonics. In music materiel, most of the energy is in the low frequencies, with less in the highs.  
When both high and low frequencies are present in a signal, the stronger low frequencies can use  
up amp power, leaving little or no reserve for the highs, so they are more likely to cause the power  
amplifier to clip. In a Biamp driven system, a smaller amp can handle high frequencies, LF amp  
clipping is less of a factor, and less overall amplifier capacity is needed due to the efficiency  
improvement in the absence of a passive crossover.

13.2 Passive System Parameters (optional)  
With the vast array of digital loudspeaker management systems available it is inevitable that the user  
may opt to use a controller other than the TX2 & TDX2 as part of a large scale integrated system. In  
passive mode the V12HP has been designed to need no external equalisation to overcome system  
limitations. If the V12HP is to be used alone with additional bass enhancement required and have  
the frequency response limits tighter than +/- 3dB as stated in section 11, then apply the
