Introduction
The latest addition to Tannoy’s extensive line of column loudspeakers, VLS Series introduces another
proprietary Tannoy innovation: FAST™ (Focussed Asymmetrical Shaping Technology). By combining
transducer technology from the acclaimed QFlex Series with an innovative new passive crossover
design, FAST provides exceptional acoustical benets, including an asymmetrical vertical dispersion
pattern which gently shapes acoustical coverage toward the lower quadrant of the vertical axis.
This Quick Start Guide presents only the essential information required to properly unpack, connect
and congure a VLS Series loudspeaker. Please consult the full VLS Series Operation Manual for
additional detailed information on low impedance versus 70.7/100 V operation, complex loudspeaker
system conguration, cable types, equalization, power handling, rigging and safety procedures, and
warranty coverage.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage " within the
product's enclosure that may be of sucient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

Important Safety Instructions
Unpacking
Each Tannoy VLS Series loudspeaker is
carefully tested and inspected prior to
shipment. After unpacking, please inspect
for any exterior physical damage, and save
the carton and any relevant packaging
materials in case the loudspeaker again
requires packing and shipping. In the event
that damage has been sustained in transit,
please notify your dealer and the shipping
carrier immediately.
Connectors and cabling
VLS Series loudspeakers are connected to
the amplier (or to other loudspeakers in
a 70/100 V system or series/parallel
conguration) using a pair of internally
paralleled barrier strip connectors.
All VLS Series models can be operated as
either an 8 ohm low impedance loudspeaker
or within a 70.7/100 V distributed system.
The operation mode is selectable via a single
switch located on the rear of the cabinet
(see below).
Operation in low impedance mode often
will require use of larger diameter cables than
are needed for a 70/100 V distributed system.
Please consult the full VLS Operation Manual
for recommended cable types for various
applications.
Wiring the Connectors
Low Impedance (8 ohm) Mode
If connecting directly to the amplier in low
impedance mode, connect the positive (+)
conductor to a positive (+) barrier strip terminal
and the negative (-) conductor to a negative (-)
terminal. It is preferable to connect several
loudspeakers to one amplier output in parallel,
series, or series/parallel configurations using
the other internally paralleled barrier strip
connector. For more information on this, please
consult the full VLS Series Operation Manual.
Constant voltage (70 V / 100 V) Mode
In constant voltage distributed systems, normally
a number of loudspeakers are connected in
parallel to a single amplier output. Connect
the positive (+) conductor from the amplier or
prior loudspeaker in the system to a positive
(+) barrier strip terminal and the negative (-)
conductor to a negative (-) terminal. The other
parallel barrier strip is available for connecting
additional loudspeakers.
Outdoor Applications
An input panel cover with rubber wiring
grommet is supplied for use in outdoor
applications. Before making connections,
pass the wire(s) through the rubber grommet.
The input panel cover is secured to the cabinet
using the four screws already inserted around
the input.
Switch For Low-Z and
transformer tap selection
A multi-position rotary switch on the rear input
panel selects either the 8 ohm low-impedance
operating mode or the high-impedance modes
(70 V or 100 V) with available transformer
taps. When using VLS Series loudspeakers in
distributed line systems, the transformer can
be tapped with available power levels shown
in the table below:
All transformer primaries should be
connected in parallel to the output of the
amplier. The summed total power rating
in watts of the selected tap settings for
all connected loudspeakers must not
exceed the total output power rating of
the connected amplifier output channel in
watts. It is recommended that a generous
power safety margin (minimum 3 dB
headroom) be maintained between the
total loudspeaker power requirements
and the amplier output capacity to
avoid continuous amplier operation at
full rated output.

Asymmetric vertical pattern:
mounting and flying
VLS Series loudspeakers are designed with
an asymmetrical vertical dispersion pattern,
a feature which allows improved performance
with simplied mounting in many applications.
The vertical dispersion of the VLS 7 and
VLS 15 is +6/-22 degrees from center axis,
while the pattern of the VLS 30 is +3/-11
degrees from center axis.
Please be aware of this feature when planning
your installation. In many situations where
conventional column loudspeakers would
require substantial downward tilt, a VLS Series
loudspeaker would require less tilt or even
allow ush mounting, thus providing a simpler
installation with improved visual aesthetics.
Mounting and flying
hardware
Wall Bracket - Each VLS Series
loudspeaker is supplied with a
standard wall bracket suitable
for mounting on most wall surfaces
at either zero tilt or at an angle
of 4 degrees. The bracket is
supplied as two interlocking
U plates. One plate attaches
to the rear of the loudspeaker
with four supplied screws as
shown. The other part is
secured to the wall. The bar on
the bottom of the speaker plate
slides into the bottom notch of
the wall plate, while the top is
secured with the two supplied
screws. Aligning the top two screw
holes results in a at ush mount;
using the lower two screw positions
provides a 4 degree downward tilt.
Flying Bracket – Each VLS Series loudspeaker
is also supplied with a ying bracket. The
bracket is attached to the top two inserts
(see below) using the supplied M6 screws.
The two bottom inserts can be used as pull
back if required
Pan-Tilt Bracket (optional) – A pan-tilt
bracket is available which allows panning
and tilting for exible orientation along both
horizontal and vertical axes. Detailed installation
instructions are provided with the bracket.
Rigging and safety
procedures
The installation of Tannoy loudspeakers using
the dedicated hardware should carried out only
by fully qualied installers, in accordance with
all the required safety codes and standards
that are applied at the place of installation.
WARNING: As the legal requirements for ying
vary from country to country, please consult
your local safety standards ofce before
installing any product. We also recommend that
you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior
to installation. For more detailed information on
rigging hardware and safety procedures, please
consult the full VLS Series Operation Manual.
Outdoor applications
VLS Series loudspeakers are rated IP64 for
resistance to dust and moisture ingress, and
are resistant to both salt spray and UV exposure,
making them suitable for use in most outdoor
applications. Please consult with your Tannoy
dealer before installation in applications with
extreme exposure to adverse environmental
conditions such as prolonged heavy rainfall,
prolonged temperature extremes, etc.
