AC Power Requirements
VXP products are equipped with Neutrik powerCON mains
connectors which mate with the Neutrik NAC3FCA Cable
connector, providing quick lock with a securing lever at power-in.
This AC mains connector is supplied with each VXP product.
The IDEAA™ module in VXP loudspeakers has a universal power
supply. It will operate on any AC mains supply from 70 V to 265 V
(+/- 10%) at 50 or 60 Hz, although with reduced power output
capability at the low voltage extremes. This allows continued
operation even when using long, thin power cables, or when
powered from portable generators that are unable to maintain full
nominal voltage.
Auto and Manual Power Modes
VXP loudspeakers offer two modes for power on/off.
AUTO mode – This is the default mode as delivered. AUTO engages
the auto-power-down (APD) feature which puts the IDEAA™ module
in STANDBY if no input signal is detected for a period of 20 minutes.
The auto-power-on (APO) turns the module on in less than 2
seconds after a signal is present at the input.
MANUAL mode – The power mode may be switched to MANUAL
to disable the auto-power-down and auto-power-on functions. This
allows use of an external power sequencer or manual control.
Cooling
Do not install this equipment in an enclosed space. Do not limit free
ventilation and movement of air around the back panel. Ensure that
there is at least 100mm (4”) of space around all sides of the product for
ventilation. VXP products do not have cooling fans; the highly efcient
switch mode power supply and proprietary Class D output stage have
low current draw and therefore require only the convection cooling
provided by the rear panel heat sink.
Unpacking and Visual Checks
Every Tannoy VXP product is carefully tested and inspected before
being packaged and leaving the factory. After unpacking your
loudspeaker, 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 immediately.

System Configuration
All loudspeakers in the VXP range are integrated designs which include
system specic EQ and protection circuitry, without the need for external
amplication. For room equalization, delay and other commissioning or
setup functions, we recommend you use a Vnet SC1 or TDX1 Digital
Controller. Please refer to the full VXP Series manual.
