1. Introduction Thank You for purchasing Tannoy PowerDual™ iQ 10. The iQ 10 has been designed for live and fixed installation music and speech sound reinforcement applications. They are specifically designed for use in venues, theatres, arenas and distributed systems in stadiums. The iQ 10 can be used both indoors and out due to its durable “skeletonised” plastic weatherproof enclosure. The iQ 10 utilises a point source 10” PowerDual™ driver utilising the unique Funktion One Research

Cable choice consists mainly of selecting the correct cross sectional area in relation to the cable length and the load impedance. A small cross sectional area would increase the cables series resistance, inducing power loss and response variations (damping factor). Connectors should be wired with a minimum of 2.5 sq. mm (12 gauge) cable. This will be perfectly satisfactory under normal conditions. In the case of very long cable runs the wire size should exceed this, refer to the following

6. Equalisation Over equalisation can reduce system headroom, and introduce phase distortion resulting in greater problems than cures. If equalisation is required then it should be applied gently and smoothly. Violent equalisation will be detrimental to the overall sound quality. 7. Arraying Comb filtering is a phenomenon, which cannot be cured by equalisation. Small alterations to loudspeaker positions can have the effect of minimising problematic combing frequencies. Arrays shoul

The iQ 10 & iQ 10P is supplied as a ‘skeletal’ design loudspeaker, which can be used both indoors and out due to it’s weatherproof exterior. As it is compact and lightweight, it can easily be flown into tight corners and small spaces. The iQ 10C & iQ 10PC are built into plywood cabinets that match the profile of the iQ 18B sub bass cabinet. If the iQ 10 is flown outdoors, please note the unit should be positioned such that the Speakon™ connectors are facing downwards, to avoid excess mo

™ SINGLE iQ SUSPENSION TRUSS (By ATM ) The iQ suspension truss is an economical solution to suspending a single purpose loudspeaker array from two or three fixed structural attachment points. The iQ Suspension Truss is designed to hold the loudspeakers at the optimum splay angle to optimize cluster performance. Most Suspension Trusses are equipped with two suspension rails with multiple attachment holes that travel from front to back across the top of the array, allowing manipulation o

12. System Configurations & OEM Controllers Passive or Biamp? The iQ 10 is supplied as standard for bi-amp operation, therefore there is no internal passive crossover network between the mid & hf units. The Bi-amp controller parameters below must be adhered to for optimum performance. An optional iQ 10P (passive version) can be ordered if (part no. 8001 2210) A loudspeaker driven in Biamp mode offers a number of performance advantages, such as increased system headroom.
