Frequently Asked Questions - CVS 4 MICRO TANNOY

What is the recommended amplifier power for the Tannoy CVS 4 MICRO?

The recommended amplifier power is 30-60 watts RMS per speaker at 8 ohms. Ensure the amplifier is stable at 8 ohms.

How do I install the CVS 4 MICRO in a ceiling?

Cut a hole of 120 mm diameter, connect the speaker wires to the spring terminals, and push the speaker into the hole until the spring clips secure it. Ensure no obstructions above the ceiling.

Can the grille be painted?

Yes, the metal grille is paintable. Use a thin coat of water-based paint to avoid blocking the perforations.

What is the impedance of the CVS 4 MICRO?

The impedance is 8 ohms. Multiple speakers can be wired in parallel, but ensure the total load does not drop below the amplifier's minimum impedance.

Is the CVS 4 MICRO suitable for outdoor use?

No, this speaker is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures may damage it.

What type of wire should I use for installation?

Use 16-18 AWG stranded speaker wire for runs up to 50 feet. For longer runs, use 14 AWG to minimize signal loss.

Can I use the CVS 4 MICRO with a 70V system?

This model is a low-impedance (8 ohm) speaker and is not designed for 70V systems without an external transformer.

How do I clean the speaker?

Remove the grille and gently dust the driver with a soft brush. Wipe the grille with a damp cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.

What is the frequency response of the CVS 4 MICRO?

The frequency response is 80 Hz to 20 kHz, making it suitable for full-range music and speech reproduction.

Where can I find spare parts for the CVS 4 MICRO?

Spare parts such as the grille and driver assembly can be ordered from authorized Tannoy dealers or through the Tannoy website.

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this Tannoy Ceiling loudspeaker. This product range is suited for high-level music and speech reinforcement applications requiring exceptional sonic quality with uncompromised reliability.

2: UNPACKING

Every Tannoy product and accessory is carefully inspected before packing. After unpacking, please inspect your product to make sure no damage has occurred in transit. In the unlikely event of any damage, would you please notify your dealer immediately and retain your shipping carton, as your dealer may ask you to return the faulty unit to them for inspection.

Each CVS loudspeaker is packed in pairs and provided with the following accessories as standard: C Ring, tile-bridge kit, grille, cut-out template, and paint mask. A plaster (mud) ring is also available as an optional extra.

3. SAFETY NOTICES

Some regional construction codes require the use of a secondary method of securing loudspeakers in ceiling to provide security of a backup support. A secondary support line should be attached from the safety loop on the rear of the product to a source point on the ceiling. Please consult the relevant construction codes in your region.

When using a power driver to install the product it is essential to use the correct torque level settings to avoid over tightening and damage to the calling material or clamps

Recommended torque setting: 1.5Nm

Tannoy will not be held responsible for any damages caused by the improper installation of these loudspeakers.

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 5639.1998), 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:

a) use of terminal blocks (for connection to primary) with a melting point of not less than 650°C, for example constructed from ceramic materials;

b) use of terminal blocks of a lower melting point but protected with thermal insulation; c) use of terminal blocks such that, on melting, an open-circuit or a short-circuit does not occur.

6.1 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SUSPENDED CEILINGS

1 Remove the ceiling tile from its frame and place it on a flat surface. Mark the put-out area on the ceiling tile by tracing around the template provided.

2 Cut out the hole in the ceiling tie using a circular saw or pad saw.

3 Place the C-ring and tie bridge on top of the ceiling panel aligning the C-ring over the hole, and screw the C-ring to the tie bridge using the fixings provided.

4 Side the speaker assembly through the hole and turn the screws on the front of the speaker to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm grip is achieved. It using a power driver, Tanney recommends a torque setting of 1.5Nm

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

5 Side the tile panel back into the suspended ceiling. The tile bridge ends will catch over the ceilings, supporting the weight of the speaker.

6 Connect a Secondary Support Line to safety lab. Some construction codes require use of this secondary support point, which should connect to a separate secure support point using a suitable support line. Consult construction codes in your region

Go to section 7 for instructions on wiring and set-up instructions.

6.2 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION GUIDE FOR SHEET ROCK (PLASTER BOARD) CEILINGS

1 Mark the put-out area on the ceiling by tracing around the template provided.

2 Cut cut the hole in the ceiling using a circular saw or pod saw, then slide the C-ring into the ceiling, signing it over the cut-cut hole.

3 Go to section 7 for wiring and set-up instructions then return to point 4 below.

4 Side the speaker assembly through the hoic and turn the screws to extend the mounting wings. Tighten the screws until a firm grip is achieved.

If using a power driver, Tanney recommends a torque setting of 1.5Nm.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!

5 Connect a Secondary Support Line to safety lab. Some construction codes require use of the secondary support point, which should connect to a separate secure support point using a suitable support line. Consult construction codes in your region

7. WIRING AND SETTING UP:

1 Open the wiring cover at the back of the speaker can to access the Euro type connector plug and socket.

2 For connection to an amplifier, use sine 1 and 2.

• Pin 1 is positive
• Pin 2 is negative
For connection to additional speakers in a distributed line,
pins 3 and 4 are in parallel where:
• Pin 3 is negative
- Pin 4 is positive

3 Close the wiring cover and tighten both screws on the cable clamp. Use the rotary switch located on the front of the unit to select whether you wish to use the speaker in a low-impedance or distributed-line application
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.
4 The CVS 4 is titled with a 30W transformer. When used in distributed-line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 30W, 15W and 7.5W, with an additional 3.75W tapping for 70.7V line systems.
5 The CVS 6 is tilted with a 60W transformer. When used in distributed line systems, the transformer can be tapped at 60W, 30W, and 15W, with an additional 7.5W tapping for 70.7V line systems.

10. PAINTING

If desired, the grille and baffle panel may be painted to match the surrounding décor.

Painting the baffle:

- Carefully mask off the driver assembly using the paint mask provides to ensure that the paint does not come into contact with the cone and roll surround.

© Apply several thin coats of paint – this will provide a better finish than one overly thick coat.

Painting the grille:

- Carefully remove the acoustically transparent foam from the reverse side of the grille. - Paint the grille and then replace the foam - several thin coats of paint will provide a better finish than one

- Re-bond the loam to the grille over the entire area using a light spray-adhesive to avoid audible resonances.
