BESCHRÄNKTE GARANTIE

Introduction Thank you for purchasing Tannoy SRM-series monitors. These are professional mid-eld reference monitors which provide unrivaled musical articulation and outstanding dynamics and accuracy. Using advanced dual concentric drivers, they oer the advantages of point source operation in a very cost-eective design. The attractive wood panel cabinet and front panel contribute to their excellent acoustic performance. Due to the point source operation, they will perform equally well in both landscape and portrait orientation. This quick start guide is intended to provide the user with some useful advice on how to install and use the loudspeakers, as well as technical information about how the system is designed and its detailed specications. We hope you get the best results from your monitoring system. Once you have set up your new monitors as described in this document, please register your product online at www.tannoy.com – this does not limit your legal rights. Unpacking To get the speaker out of the carton without damage, open the aps fully and bend them right back. Turn the package upside-down on the oor and lift the carton vertically up to leave the speaker resting on its packing tray. Inspect each speaker for signs of transit damage. In the unlikely event of this having occurred, inform the carrier and the supplier. Keep all the packaging if damage has occurred as this will show evidence of excessive handling force. It is also a good idea to keep the carton for future transportation. Caution These monitors are capable of generating high sound levels over a sustained period of time. Because of their low levels of distortion, it is not always obvious that the sound level is high when working with these monitors. Please be aware that exposure to excessive levels over a sustained period of time can lead to permanent hearing damage. (3) (4) (1) (2) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10)

Operation Installation When choosing a suitable location for the monitors, bear in mind that the physical mounting of loudspeakers can have a large inuence on performance. For best results, the monitors should be mounted on a rigid structure, supported on pads making contact with the laminated panel. Self-adhesive foam pads are provided with the loudspeakers for that purpose. If you intend to arrange the monitors in landscape format, detach the whole pad from the backing paper and stick it on the large side to become the bottom of the cabinet; for portrait arrangement the pad is pre-cut so that one half can be easily detached to match the smaller size of the bottom panel. We recommend positioning of the monitors so that the drive units are toed inwards, with their axes oriented towards the listening position. The distance between the two speakers should be 2 to 3 metres, depending on the monitoring position. The distance between the monitoring position and each speaker should be slightly greater than the distance between the speakers. If the speakers are placed too close to each other, the full stereo image may not develop. On the other hand, if you place them too far apart you will notice a hole in the middle of the stereo image. Ensure that the console position does not obscure the direct sound radiation from the Dual Concentric drive unit when sitting down. The engineer and producer should have a clear, uninterrupted view of the monitor loudspeakers. Connect the audio signal source (console or interface output) to one of the input connectors on the rear of the speaker. Connections can be made via unbalanced RCA cable, but balanced ¼" TRS or XLR cables are recommended. The ¼"/XLR combo jack is wired as shown: Having chosen an appropriate location for your monitors and arranged them accordingly, connect the power cord to the mains socket and turn the power on. The PWR LED on the rear panel should now be illuminated. XLR Input ¼" TRS Input Signal (+) Pin 2 Tip (T) Signal (-) Pin 3 Ring (R) Ground Pin 1 Screen (S) Adjustment With the LEVEL knob set at the center (12:00) position, slowly raise the output from your console or interface while audio is playing. The green SIG LED should light up whenever audio enters the speakers INPUTS. If the red LIM LED ever lights, reduce the output of your source audio. If more volume is needed, raise the LEVEL knob to an appropriate setting. Each loudspeaker model features two controls labeled Treble Energy and Treble Roll-O, and the SRM 15A has an additional control called Presence Energy. These allow the high frequency response to be tailored to your listening environment. To make adjustments, each speaker should be operated one at a time in mono. Pan the output from your source audio so that the full signal passes only to the left or right speaker. The Treble Energy control increases or decreases the HF driver over its entire frequency range from 1 kHz to 20 kHz, while the Treble Roll-O only aects the highest frequencies above 5 kHz. Presence Energy boosts or cuts frequencies between 1 and 5 kHz. All controls should be set to the ‘Level’ position initially. If the sound is too bright or dull, the Treble Energy can be used for broad adjustments. After this setting has been established, further ne tuning with the Treble Energy (and Presence Energy for the SRM 15A) can be made as necessary. Changes to each control can be fairly subtle and may not be heard at all if the audio being monitored has little energy in the spectrum being adjusted. Keep in mind that speaker positioning and room acoustics also aect a speaker’s response.20 SRM 10A/12A/15A Quick Start Guide

Servicing Cleaning the cabinet To remove marks and scus, use a medium soft brush. If necessary, a little warm water and detergent can be used, but under no circumstances use a solvent or abrasive cleaner. The surface will change colour when wet but will return to normal when dry. Dual Concentric driver removal Before any servicing operation, the amplier should be disconnected from signal input and mains power. Lay the cabinet on its back, taking care to protect the rear plate. Remove the four hexagonal bolts and set aside. Ease the driver from the front of the cabinet, taking care not to mark the front surface. Use a piece of stout cardboard to lever against if necessary. Remove the driver and disconnect the internal wiring, taking care not to damage the moving parts of the LF driver. To ret the driver, connect the cables from the wiring harness to the LF (red +ve and blue -ve) and HF (white +ve and black -ve) terminals. Fit the driver into the mounting hole, fasten the bolts nger tight and then progressively torque them down so that the driver seats evenly. Drive unit servicing The HF unit may be tted with a new diaphragm assembly. With the driver face down, release the three bolts securing the HF assembly and lift the HF unit vertically upwards and away from magnetic attraction caused by the LF magnet. Replace the diaphragm - it is self-centering - taking care to align the parts correctly. To ret the HF unit, hold it about 30 cm vertically above the LF magnet in both hands while resting on your elbows. Slide your elbows apart and lower the HF unit onto the back of the LF magnet. As the HF unit gets close to the magnet you will feel the magnetic elds repelling. Align the xing holes and secure with the bolts, tightening down evenly. Do not tighten the bolts nally until you are sure the HF unit is seated correctly and the two magnet systems appear parallel. The LF unit may be re-coned in the normal way. Use only the parts and adhesive supplied in the re-cone kit. Checking the unit The whole unit can be checked using a sine wave generator connected to the input. A high quality, low distortion (preferably a beat frequency) oscillator will be required to check for any buzz and rattle noise generated by the drive unit. The voltage to be applied at the input should be 0.2 Vrms. Testing the whole unit has an obvious drawback in that, in the case of any defect it may be dicult to determine whether the drive unit or the amplier is faulty. In which case each part would have to be checked independently, meaning that the drive unit should be removed (refer to above). If for whatever reason the amplier needs to be removed from the cabinet, care should be taken to remove only the relevant screws (there are 8 mounting screws, 2 on each side of the plate). Fuse A fuse is located just under the mains input. Replacement is simple and a spare fuse is provided inside the fuse housing itself. Always use the correctly rated fuse, as indicated on the silk screen printing, there are two dierent types according to the operating voltage. Any other servicing regarding the electronic section should be undertaken by qualied and authorised personnel only. In case of any malfunction of the unit, the rst thing to be checked should be the input connection, especially if the source has unbalanced outputs as improper connection can result in signicant level reduction and aect the response.22 SRM 10A/12A/15A Quick Start Guide
