Frequently Asked Questions - DVS 4T TANNOY

How do I connect the DVS 4T speaker to an amplifier?

Use the binding post terminals on the rear of the speaker. Connect the positive terminal to the amplifier's positive output and the negative to negative. Ensure the amplifier is turned off during connection.

What is the recommended placement for the DVS 4T?

Place the speaker on a stable surface or mount it on a wall/ceiling using appropriate brackets. Avoid corners to reduce bass buildup and ensure optimal sound dispersion.

Can I use the DVS 4T in a home theater system?

Yes, the DVS 4T can be used as a surround or satellite speaker in a home theater setup. Pair with a subwoofer for full-range sound.

What amplifier power is needed for the DVS 4T?

An amplifier with 20-100 watts RMS per channel is recommended. Using an amplifier with too much power can damage the speaker if overdriven.

How do I clean the DVS 4T speaker?

Wipe the enclosure and grille with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish.

What is the impedance of the DVS 4T?

The impedance is 8 ohms. Ensure your amplifier is compatible with 8-ohm loads.

Can I paint the grille of the DVS 4T?

Yes, the grille can be painted. Remove it carefully, apply thin coats of spray paint designed for metal, and allow it to dry before reattaching.

What should I do if there is no sound from the speaker?

Check the connections, ensure the amplifier is turned on and not muted, verify the audio source is playing, and test with another speaker to isolate the issue.

Is the DVS 4T suitable for outdoor use?

No, the DVS 4T is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures can damage the speaker.

1. Introduction

Designed for a wide variety of sound reinforcement applications the Tannoy DVS is an ultra compact loudspeaker system capable of delivering high sound pressure levels with extremely low distortion, resulting in outstanding clarity, definition and detail. A truly universal solution, the DVS offers outstanding durability and resistance to scuffs and knocks. Able to deliver consistent performance under a wide range of adverse conditions the DVS is suited to applications indoors or out. Available in black or white the DVS will effectively blend into most backgrounds. Utilisation of the point source loudspeaker allows the DVS to be mounted on a wall or ceiling in either horizontal or vertical orientations without affecting its performance. A range of hardware options ensures simple and effective installation. Only available with built-in line transformer. For applications requiring extended low frequency enhancement, a range of Tannoy sub-bass systems are available and can be used in conjunction with the DVS.

2. Safety Instructions

5. Installation Guidelines

1. Fix the yoke bracket to the surface using a suitable fixing method. (Fig.1)
2. Feed the speaker cable through the cable clamp cover then connect the Euro-type plug to the wires, observing the correct polarity. (Fig.2)
3. For connection to the loudspeaker, use Pins 1 (+) and 2 (-). Pins 3 (-) and 4 (+) are in parallel for connection to additional speakers in a distributed line. (Fig.3)
4. Offer the speaker up to the bracket and attach using the thumb screws provided (Fig.4)
5. Connect the Euro-type plug then replace the rubber grommet to ensure the speaker is sealed. (Fig.5)
6. The DVS 4t models are fitted with 30 W transformers. (Fig.6)

THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.

1. The DVS 6t and DVS 8t models are fitted with 60 W transformers. (Fig.7)

THE SPEAKER IS SUPPLIED IN LOW IMPEDANCE MODE. NEVER CONNECT THE SPEAKER TO A 70/100 VOLT AMPLIFIER WHILE IT IS SET FOR LOW IMPEDANCE.
