MECHANICAL INSTALLATION 110CS

The 110CS subwoofer is easily installed in almost any indoor location where access to a corner is available. Although its
appearance is handsome in full view, the wide dispersion of its down firing woofer and the dispersion of low frequencies
in general, allow moderate obstructions such as chairs, plants etc. to be placed directly in front of the cabinet. A corner
position against solid walls will heighten the bass performance resulting in a woofer sounding larger and more powerful
than its compact size would suggest.

In locations where the situation dictates a higher positioning of the subwoofer, the supplied wall brackets for mounting
to 16” center studs may be utilized.

All connections and controls are accessed under the snap-on top panel. Note the hole provided in the cabinet rear
through which to run cables.

INSTALLATION OF CORNER RAIL KIT

The 110CS subwoofer is a free standing design. However, with installation of the corner rail kit, mounting at any height
is possible. The following instructions will guide you in the installation of the rail kit.

Before You Begin:

Be sure to follow instructions carefully and conform to any and all local codes regarding this type of installation.
A qualified, licensed installer should be retained for any behind the wall pre-wiring with final approval of a local
building inspector. Tannoy assumes no liability for cause and effect of improper installation work.

• 110CS subwoofer system

Tools/ Parts Required:

Site Preparation and Rail Kit Mounting Instructions:

New construction and most retrofits should include two single “J” Boxes installed in the drywall with power and signal
cables within. Position the height of the “J” Boxes so that they will be hidden by the installed subwoofer cabinet and at
a vertical placement of no more than 7” from the drywall corner to the outside edge of the “J” Box (see Fig. 4). The gap
in the corner behind the installed subwoofer and the drywall will provide adequate clearance for all cable runs to the
subwoofer.
