DVS Series Operation Manual rev 2.0.0
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, denition 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 xing 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 tted 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.
7. The DVS 6t and DVS 8t models are tted 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.
