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 offers five 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 amplifiers. Other features include IP 64 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 affecting performance. All models include a standard mounting yoke; a multi-angle accessory bracket is available as an option.
2. Safety Notices
Installation Safety Notice
- The user is responsible for fixing the hardware to the surface to ensure safe operation. The fixings must support the weight of the product. Please consult the manual's specification page for the appropriate weights. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region for further information on suitable hardware fixing methods.
- 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.
- Tannoy will not be held accountable for any damage caused by incorrect installation.
Electrical Safety Notice
To comply with the standard UL1480, metal-clad flexible conduit (BX) is required for connection to the terminal block for proper earth grounding.
SAFETY NOTE: In order to comply with the relevant fire safety regulations (i.e. BS 5839:1998), it is required that in the event of fire, 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. Accessories
Optional multi-angle accessory bracket

The optional multi-angle accessory bracket utilizes 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. For installation instructions, see section 5.2.
5. Installation
5.1. Installation using included yoke bracket
-
Fix the yoke bracket to an appropriate structural surface using a suitable fixing method.
-
Remove the yoke trims from the product to access the bracket fixing points.

Set the transformer tap as detailed in Section 6 following.
-
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.
-
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.

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.
-
Connect a secondary support line to the safety tab at the rear of the cabinet.
5.2. Installation using optional VariBall bracket
Please see AMS VariBall Accessory Backet - Mounting and Installation Guide for reference.
-
Fix the wall bracket to the wall surface using suitable fixing method for supporting the loudspeaker with ample safety margins.
-
Fix the ball bracket to the rear of the loudspeaker using the supplied screws and a 3 mm Allen key. Two screws are used for AMS 5 models; four screws are used for AMS 6 and AMS 8 models.
-
Set the transformer tap as detailed in Section 6 following.
-
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.

Raise the lever to open the wall bracket. Insert the ball bracket into the wall bracket, position as required, and then lower the lever to lock the ball bracket into place. Raise the lever if any readjustment is necessary. Once in final position, tighten the grub screw at the bottom of the wall bracket to secure in place.
-
Connect the euro plug to the loudspeaker. For outdoor installation, attach the cable entry cover using a 3 mm Allen key and included screws. Orient the cover plate so that the neck opening is facing downward to minimise entry of moisture or particulates.
-
Connect a secondary support line to the safety tab at the rear of the cabinet.

6. Setting transformer taps
- The rotary transformer tapping switch is located directly above the wiring connector.
CAUTION: The loudspeaker is supplied with the tap switch set in low impedance mode. Never connect the loudspeaker to a 70 / 100V amplifier output while switched to low impedance mode.
- 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 fitted with 30W transformers. In distributed line applications, the transformer can be tapped at 30W , 15W and 7.5W , with an additional 3.75W tap for 70V line systems.

Models with 6-inch and 8-inch drivers are fitted 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.
