TCS Compact series

If any of the drive units in your TCS series product should cease functioning and need a replacement re-cone or diaphragm, you are advised to remove the faulty unit from the installation, remove the faulty drive unit(s) and send it to a professional service centre authorised to repair Turbosound loudspeakers.

Removal of the low frequency woofer

The perforated steel loudspeaker grille is a push fit in the loudspeaker frame. To remove the grille, using a pointed object such as a pin inserted through the mesh of the grille, gently lever the grille away from the frame. Set the grille aside for later re-assembly.

Undo the screws holding the back can in place and place to one side. The low frequency drive unit will be accessible once the line transformer has been removed from the back of the loudspeaker frame. Make a note of the driver terminal polarity for later reconnection. Disconnect the cables from the drive unit and completely remove the driver from the speaker being careful not to damage the cone or suspension. Do not place the driver near to any equipment or media that may be adversely affected by strong magnetism, e.g. CRT monitors or tape of any kind.

Removal of the high frequency tweeter

Disconnect the cables from the tweeter, making a note of the driver polarity for later reconnection. Undo the screws holding the tweeter in place and carefully lift it out and away from the speaker. Do not place the driver near to any equipment or media that may be adversely affected by strong magnetism, e.g. CRT monitors or magnetic tape of any kind.

To reinstate the driver(s) simply reverse the above procedure, making sure you observe the correct polarity when reconnecting the cables back into the terminals of the drive units.
