MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110TB
NEW / EXISTING CONSTRUCTION INSTALLATION PROCEDURES:
Before You Begin:
Please read and understand all of these instructions thoroughly before beginning any work.
Note that construction work for the installation of all Tannoy products must be done to local building codes by
qualified, licensed installers. A local building inspector should approve any overhead installations. Tannoy assumes
no liability for cause and effect of improper installation work.
Your Package Includes:
The 110TB ceiling sub is complete with rubber isolation grid around the grille perimeter to drop neatly into a properly
secured, 2’ x 2’ ceiling grid without vibration or resonance.
Additional Considerations:
Survey your site and choose an installation location.
At this point, you may choose to suspend the subwoofer in free space or in a 2’ space x 2’ space dropped ceiling
grid installation.
Parts/ Tools Required: (Installation Dependant)
• Hanger bolts (Fig. 1). These can be purchased for installation into wood, or into metal,
for example, with a Hilti™ power fastening system.
• Coupling nuts, and Backing nuts (Figs. 2 & 3).
• Threaded rod (Fig. 4).
• Turnbuckles (Fig. 5).
• Wire rope, wire rope nuts, thimbles, chain, quick-links (Figs. 5 & 6).
• Wire grid ties (Fig. 8).
Note: For 2’ space x 2’ space tile bridge drop in, you will require wire grid support ties on each of the four corners of
the grid immediately beside the subwoofer. This is usually accomplished by means of the same wire support tie used to
support the grid and for lighting fixtures, etc. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS TETHER THE SUBWOOFER SECURELY TO
THE BUILDING’S PERMANENT STRUCTURE USING CHAIN (Fig. 9) OR WIRE ROPE. THIS IS THE SEISMIC TETHER
POINT.
The list above is a suggested selection of parts only; what you require will depend on your suspension method and
physical location.
The 110TB is supplied with four 3/8” closed eyebolts already attached. When suspending in free space, it is
recommended that you use the same size hangers, nuts, rod, and fittings; alternately, if you are using wire rope,
1/8” rope and fittings are the smallest you should consider.
