OWNER’S MANUAL Estd.
In combining the best of traditional crafts and the latest production and design skills Tannoy presents the Turnberry SE loudspeaker. The Turnberry SE embodies the Tannoy philosophy. Cabinets in selected hardwoods are hand finished and polished to a standard that is unsurpassed. The Turnberry SE is a compact high performance loudspeaker based around Tannoy's unique 10 inch ribbon wound Tulip Waveguide™ twin-magnet Dual Concentric™.
Unpacking Instructions Unfasten the bottom of the carton. Fold the end leaves out of the way and remove the packing tray to reveal the plinth and bottom of the loudspeaker cabinet. Locate and remove from the carton the accessories pack. Turn the carton and loudspeaker over so that the cabinet now stands on the floor inside the carton. Lift the carton upwards to reveal the loudspeaker. Examine all pieces of packing material and inspect the carton for signs of external damage.
Bi-Wiring Theory Loudspeakers need power signals to produce acoustic energy when reproducing music. The range of electrical currents passing down the cable from the amplifier to the loudspeaker is very wide. In decibel terms this is called the dynamic range. Modern loudspeakers are capable of resolving a dynamic range of at least 80dB with a suitable power amplifier. An 80dB dynamic range corresponds to voltages of between 50 Volt and 0.

Cables High quality audio signals passing from power amplifier to loudspeaker are unusual in their demands on cable. Frequencies from 20Hz to 20kHz (10 octaves or a ratio of 10,000:1) and currents of 80dB dynamic range (again a ratio of 10,000:1) have to coexist. The cable also has to be capable of transmitting peak currents of at least 10 Amp without causing losses greater than 0.001 Amp (10 Amp divided by the ratio 10,000).
Tannoy Dual Concentric ™Drive Unit with Tulip Waveguide ™ The Tannoy Dual Concentric™ has three fundamental advantages over conventional discrete systems. The Dual Concentric™ driver is a coincident acoustic point source, it has a very wide dynamic range potential and constant symmetrical directivity. The high frequency unit is mounted behind, and concentrically with, the low frequency unit. High frequency sound radiates from the centre of the low frequency unit through a wave guide.
Care of the Cabinet The cabinet is constructed from carefully selected solid walnut and walnut veneers that have been hand waxed before dispatch from our finishing workshop. To maintain the natural wood appearance it is important that only a wax of similar formulation is used. A jar of specially formulated wax is included with each loudspeaker. This wax should be applied very sparingly with a soft lint-free cloth (muslin for example) taking great care to avoid putting wax on the grille material.
