VLS SERIES
Mounting and fixing
Wall Bracket
Each VLS Series loudspeaker is supplied with a standard wall bracket suitable for mounting on most wall surfaces. The bracket is supplied as two interlocking U plates.
One plate attaches to the rear of the loudspeaker with four supplied screws. 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. The bracket for the VLS 7 (EN 54) and VLS 15 (EN 54) is slotted to allow
an angle between 0 and 6 degrees (Fig.3). Aligning the top two screw holes of the VLS 30 results in a flat flush mount; using the lower two screw positions provides a
4 degree downwardtilt. (Fig.4)

Flying Bracket
Each VLS Series loudspeaker is also supplied with a flying bracket. The bracket is attached to the top two inserts using the supplied M6 screws (Fig.5). The two bottom
inserts can be used as pull back if required.

with the bracket.
Rigging and safety procedures
The installation of Tannoy loudspeakers using the dedicated hardware should be carried out only by fully qualified 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 flying vary from country to country, please consult your local safety standards office 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The mounting of a permanently installed sound system may be dangerous unless undertaken by qualified personnel with the required experience
and certification to perform the necessary tasks. Walls, floors or ceilings must be capable of safely and securely supporting the actual load. The mounting accessory
used must be safely and securely fixed both to the loudspeaker and to the wall, floor or ceiling.
When mounting rigging components on walls, floors or ceilings, ensure that all fixings and fasteners used are of an appropriate size and load rating. Wall and ceiling
claddings, and the construction and composition of walls and ceilings, all need to be taken into account when determining whether a particular fixing arrangement
can be safely employed for a particular load. Cavity plugs or other specialist fixings, if required, must be of an appropriate type, and must be fitted and used in
accordance with the maker's instructions.
The operation of your speaker cabinet as part of a flown system, if installed incorrectly and improperly, can potentially expose persons to serious health risks and
even death. In addition, please ensure that electrical, mechanical and acoustic considerations are discussed with qualified and certified (by local state or national
authorities) personnel prior to any installation or flying.
Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up and flown by qualified and certified personnel only, using dedicated equipment and original parts and components
delivered with the unit. If any parts or components are missing please contact your Dealer before attempting to set up the system.
Be sure to observe the local, state and other safety regulations applicable in your country. Music Tribe , including the Music Tribe companies listed on the enclosed
"Service Information Sheet", assumes no liability for any damage or personal injury resulting from improper use, installation or operation of the product.
Regular checks must be conducted by qualified personnel to ensure that the system remains in a secure and stable condition. Make sure that, where the speaker is
flown, the area underneath the speaker is free of human traffic. Do not fly the speaker in areas that can be entered or used by members of the public.
Speakers create a magnetic field, even if not in operation. Therefore, please keep all materials that can be affected by such fields (discs, computers, monitors, etc)
at a safe distance. A safe distance is usually between 1 and 2 metres.
