13.0: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 14.0: RIGGING
The Tannoy Professional hardware covered in this guide has been designed to offer quick, simple, cost
effective and secure solutions for mounting specific Tannoy Professional loudspeakers. This hardware has
been designed and manufactured with a high safety load factor for its specific role. To ensure the safest
possible use of the hardware covered in this guide, it must be assembled in strict accordance with the
instructions specified. The information in these manuals relating to the assembly and the safe use of these
accessories must be understood and followed. The installation of Tannoy Professional loudspeakers using
the dedicated hardware should only ever be carried out 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 change from country to country, please consult you local safety standards office
before installing any product. We also recommend that you thoroughly check any laws and bylaws prior to commencing work.
Tannoy Professional hardware has been designed for use with specific Tannoy Professional loudspeakers, and is not designed
or intended for use with any other Tannoy Professional products, or any other devices. Using Tannoy Professional hardware
for any purpose other than that indicated in this guide is considered to be improper use. Such use can be very dangerous as
overloading, modifying; assembling in anyway other than that clearly stated in the manual, or damaging Tannoy Professional
hardware will compromise safety.
The component parts of any Tannoy Professional hardware device must only be assembled using the accessory kits supplied
and in strict compliance with the user manual. The use of other accessories or non-approved methods of assembly may result
in an unsafe hardware system by reducing the load safety factor. Welding, or any other method of permanently fixing hardware
components together or to the integral fixing points in the cabinet should never be used.
Whenever a Tannoy Professional loudspeaker is fixed to a surface using a Tannoy Professional hardware device, the installer
must ensure that the surface is capable of safely and securely supporting the load. The hardware employed must be safely,
securely, and in accordance with the manual, attached both to the loudspeaker and also to the surface in question, using only
the fixing holes provided as standard and covered in the manual. Secure fixings to the building structure are vital. Seek help
from architects, structural engineers or other specialists if in any doubt.
All loudspeakers flown in theatres, nightclubs, conference centre or other places of work and entertainment must, be provided
with an independent, correctly rated and securely attached secondary safety – in addition to the principle hardware device.
This secondary safety must prevent the loudspeaker from dropping more than 150mm (6”) should the principle hardware
device fail.
14.1 : SECUR ET - VMY YOKE BRACKET
The VMY is an adjustable yoke bracket (available in both black and white), allowing the user to fly the Tannoy VNET™ Full
Range loudspeakers in either portrait or landscape orientations using the same bracket (Figures 1 & 2).
The Tannoy VNET™ loudspeaker is attached to the bracket using the M10 bolts and washers supplied in the
accessory pack. Only the screws, fasteners, shake proof and plain washers specified on figure 3. should be used
to assemble the VMY bracket
Pivot studs (Figure 3.) (Supplied with the VMY) are attached to the cabinet using the M10 bolts supplied. These bolts locate
on the M10 inserts in the cabinet. The VMY adjustable yoke bracket then connects to the centre of these mounting plates
(using the M10 screws supplied). These bracket pick up points which are in line with the bracket’s axis of rotation, are also
positioned on the centre of gravity of the VNET™ in both orientations to allow easy adjustment for optimum coverage.
The vertical distance between the apex of the VMY and the top of the Tannoy VNET™ loudspeaker can be adjusted by
connecting to varying mounting points on the bracket allowing varying degrees of vertical rotation. The top centre fixing hole
of the VMY then provides a pick up point for a variety of Tannoy Professional hardware accessories including the VMB wall
mounting plate (shown in Figure 2.), the VCS ceiling saddle, and the VPC pole clamp.
