Operation
Positioning your speakers
These monitors are designed as near-field monitors, positioned typically 0.75 to 3 meters from the listener. They will typically be placed
on the mixer metering bridge or on a table either side of a smaller mixing desk or control surface. They may also be mounted on
appropriate loudspeaker stands or brackets, which will yield the best results in terms of stability and vibration. In all cases, these speakers
should be angled towards the listener, with the tweeter approximately at ear height.

Positioning your speakers for optimal results
Connecting your speakers
Always make and check all connections before plugging your monitors into the mains.
We strongly recommend connecting the mains power ground for safety reasons and to reduce the risk of
hum in your setup.
Balanced and unbalanced signal inputs
You can feed a line level input signal to your speaker by using either
• • the 6.35 mm (1/4") input jack or
• • the balanced XLR input jack.
The XLR input may also be used for unbalanced operation by connecting pins 3 and 1 together. XLR pinouts are: 2 = +ve (hot),
3 = -ve (cold) and 1 = screen or signal ground.
AUX input – MONITOR LINK
As an alternative to feeding a mono signal into each Tannoy Gold monitor, you can feed a stereo signal (e.g., from an audio interface,
a smart phone or an audio player) to one loudspeaker and link it to a second loudspeaker using the supplied 3.5 mm cable, thereby
creating a stereo pair. To do so, proceed as follows:
1.
Connect your line level signal source to the INPUT jack in the AUX section of the first loudspeaker's rear panel, using the
3.5 mm mini-jack cable that came with the first speaker.
2.
Connect the MONITOR LINK jack of the first loudspeaker to the MONITOR LINK jack of the second loudspeaker using the
3.5 mm mini-jack cable that came with the second speaker.
3.
Set the SPEAKER POSITION switch of the left loudspeaker (when facing the fronts) to "L".
4.
Set the SPEAKER POSITION switch of the right loudspeaker to "R".
Input trim
The front-mounted INPUT TRIM knob allows for matching each monitor's volume to your mixing desk or other equipment. "0 dB" setting
is a good starting point. The INPUT TRIM will also allow you to fine tune the relative levels between monitors in a surround system.
EQ
The HF TRIM knob adjusts the tweeter volume. It should normally be set to the middle "0" setting.
If you are working in a bright environment, set the HF TRIM knob to a leftward, counter-clockwise setting. In a dull environment,
set the HF TRIM knob to one of the right-hand, clockwise settings.
Cabinet care
The cabinet may be cleaned with a soft lint free cloth. The use of solvents or abrasive cleaners should be avoided.
