Unpacking and Visual Checks  
AC Power Requirements  
Every Tannoy VXP 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, please notify your  
dealer immediately.  
VXP products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON mains  
connectors which mate with the Neutrik NAC3FCA Cable  
connector, providing quick lock with a securing lever at power-in.  
This AC mains connector is supplied with each VXP product.  
The IDEAA™ module in VXP loudspeakers has a universal power  
supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply from 70 V to 265 V  
(+/- 10%) at 50 or 60 Hz, although with reduced power output  
capability at the low voltage extremes. This allows continued  
operation even when using long, thin power cables, or when  
powered from portable generators that are unable to maintain full  
nominal voltage.  
Rear Interface Panel  
XLR FEMALE AUDIO INPUT - This is a lockable XLR line input  
socket for connection to the audio source. Fully balanced: pin 2 hot  
(+), pin 3 cold (+), & pin 1 ground.  
Auto and Manual Power Modes  
XLR MALE AUDIO LINK - This is a lockable XLR line output socket  
to link additional speakers. Fully balanced: pin 2 hot (+), pin 3 cold  
(+), & pin 1 ground.  
VXP loudspeakers offer two modes for power on/off.  
POWER MODE SWITCH (top) – Selects AUTO or MANUAL power  
on/off mode.  
AUTO mode – This is the default mode as delivered. AUTO engages  
the auto-power-down (APD) feature which puts the IDEAA™ module  
in STANDBY if no input signal is detected for a period of 20 minutes.  
The auto-power-on (APO) turns the module on in less than 2  
seconds after a signal is present at the input.  
HPF MODE SWITCH – Inserts or removes 90 Hz high pass filter.  
LEVEL CONTROL – Recessed potentiometer for adjustment of  
speaker volume.  
MANUAL mode – The power mode may be switched to MANUAL  
to disable the auto-power-down and auto-power-on functions. This  
allows use of an external power sequencer or manual control.  
LED INDICATORS Top to bottom:  
Limit protect indicates activity of built-in speaker protection limiter.  
Signal indicates when audio signal is present at the input.  
Power state indicates that AC line power is present at the AC mains  
connector, and that the power switch is turned on.  
Cooling  
ROCKER POWER SWITCH - Supplies AC power on to the unit  
(100V - 240V)  
Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do not limit free  
ventilation and movement of air around the back panel. Ensure that  
there is at least 100mm (4”) of space around all sides of the product for  
ventilation. VXP products do not have cooling fans; the highly efficient  
switch mode power supply and proprietary Class D output stage have  
low current draw and therefore require only the convection cooling  
provided by the rear panel heat sink.  
AC MAINS CONNECTOR - Neutrik powerCON mains connector  
(mating connector supplied)  
System Configuration  
All loudspeakers in the VXP range are integrated designs which include  
system specific EQ and protection circuitry, without the need for external  
amplification. For room equalization, delay and other commissioning or  
setup functions, we recommend you use a Vnet SC1 or TDX1 Digital  
Controller. Please refer to the full VXP Series manual.

LED Functions  
Gain Structure and Limiting  
Limit LED - When illuminated this indicates that the system is  
approaching clipping. An occasional flicker of the red LED on the  
loudest peaks is acceptable. If this LED remains red for more than  
the duration of brief dynamic peaks, or lights continuously then the  
system is being overdriven. If the red LED illuminates excessively:  
The VXP gain structure is designed to allow a low-level source device  
to drive the loudspeaker to full output. Maximum specified SPL will  
be achieved with a 4 dBu input signal. There is sufficient headroom  
in the signal path to accommodate input levels of 10 or even 20 dBu,  
with high quality compression engaged as needed to maintain sonic  
integrity without clipping.  
• Reduce the input level (see interface panel)  
• Reduce the output level of the mixer, or other source to the  
speaker.  
Equalisation  
Signal LED – The Green LED indicates that a useable signal is  
present at the input.  
The VXP loudspeaker requires no equalisation or correction to  
overcome system limitations; equalisation is necessary only to  
compensate for difficult acoustic environments.  
Power LED – When AC mains is connected to the speaker and the  
power switch is turned on, the blue lower LED will illuminate.  
Audio Connections  
Rigging and Safety Procedures  
The signal input & link connectors are fully balanced. When  
connecting a balanced signal be sure to wire to the following  
standard:  
The installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers using the  
dedicated hardware should carried out only 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 your local safety standards office before  
installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly  
check any laws and bylaws prior to installation. For more detailed  
information on rigging hardware and safety procedures, please  
consult the full VX Series and VXP Series Hardware Manual available  
Shield (GND)  
In a standard balanced interconnection there are two signal  
conductors and a shield. The shield is normally referenced to  
ground at one or both ends. Many times the shield is lifted at one  
end, usually at the input to eliminate “ground loops” or noise. This  
should be done only as a last resort; although it will reduce hum,  
the shields can act as radio antennas and pick up radio frequency  
interference from the environment.  
Multiple enclosures may be driven from a single audio source; simply  
plug the signal source output into the first XLR input socket, and  
patch that speakers XLR link to the next speakers XLR input socket.
