QUICK SETUP GUIDE Below is a quick guide on how to connect different variations of setups. Connections must be made exactly as illustrated. Detailed descriptions of the setups can be found on pages 16-24.
NOTE (7.1 only) If you wish to set up your system with side channels as opposed to five “screen” channels: Simply substitute LI (Left Inner) & RI (Right Inner), for SL (Side Left) & SR (Side Right) as shown in the adjacent diagram. Follow the same format for 7.
Introduction In order to maintain our leading position in the worldwide professional studio market, the core technologies of T annoy are constantly being refined.
8 Concept & Design Philosophy The following is an introduction to the concept behind the iDP ™ system. Detailed setup guides and explanations of all of the parameter functions can be found in later sections of this manual.
TANNOY WideBand ™ SuperTweeter ™ The T annoy SuperT weeter™ extends the amplitude response beyond 20kHz audibility to 51kHz to correct the phase response from 8kHz to 20kHz within the audible band. This preserves the harmonic structure of sounds and the stability of the stereo image.
Preliminary Recommendation A word of warning on high sound levels - these speakers are capable of generating high output levels over sustained periods of time and such levels, over 95dB SPL for 8 hours per day , can eventually cause permanent hearing loss.
Master & Slave Concept T wo types of hardware exist for each Precision 6 iDP ™ and Precision 8 iDP ™ (with the exception of the subwoofer – Slave only).
Slave Monitor & Subwoofer The slave unit is able to receive and distribute audio and control data via the proprietary TC LINK connection The TS1 12 iDP™or TS212 iDP™subwoofer can be used in any iDP system. The Slave and Sub units contain one RJ45 Input connector and one Link connector .
Master Unit 1. System controller/slave switch. In the “out” position the monitor operates as a System Controller . * There can only be one system Controller in a setup. In the “in” position the monitor operates as a regular master or a slave unit.

Setups General Setup Procedure Decide which Setup you are going to build. Connect the Precision iDP ™ monitors exactly as shown on the following pages. Power up all monitors. Set one of the Master-monitors as the System Controller as shown on the Setup diagrams.
Analog Stereo Set-up With Stereo Subs The diagram shows how to connect a stereo set-up with two subwoofers. The Left monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel. The Left master monitor receives both the left and right input signals via the analog input connectors.
5.1 Analog Set-up The diagram shows how to connect a 5.1 analog set-up. The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel. The Centre monitor receives audio for both centre (input 1) & LFE channels (input 2) via the analog input connectors.
19 5.1 Digital 192kHz Set-up The diagram shows how to connect a 5.1 digital set-up at 192khz. All Master monitors require installed digital I/O cards. AES signal is fed to inputs 2&3 of these cards. The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel.
20 6.1 Digital Set-up The diagram shows how to connect a 6.1 digital set-up. All Master monitors require installed digital I/O cards. AES signal is fed to input 2 of these cards. The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel.
7.1 Analog Set-up The diagram shows how to connect a 7.1 SDDS ™ analog set-up. The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel.
22 7.1 Digital 192kHz Set-up The diagram shows how to connect a 7.1 SDDS™ 192kHz set-up. The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel.
23 Connecting T wo Subs T wo Subs can be connected to any of the above Set-Ups When no Bass management is selected, no signal will be sent to the subwoofers. When Bass management is selected, low frequency content from the left channel is extracted and sent to the left subwoofer .
24 5.1 Dig/6 - Master The diagram shows how to connect a 5.1 digital set-up using a single master unit. The set-up requires one master monitor with the Digital AESEBU input card installed, four slave monitors and one subwoofer . The Centre monitor is set as the System Controller by leaving out the TC Link button on the rear panel.
25 SETUP when the monitors are connected The following is a simple operational setup guide, which is carried out after the monitors are connected. The assumption is made that you will be navigating the menus via the LCD display on the master monitor .
