TA-500
INTRODUCTION
Turbosound Aspect System Concepts
The TA-500 system is a modular point source loudspeaker system designed to deliver extremely high fidelity audio. The system is easily scaleable medium scale ground-stacked and flown concert touring down to small clubs and events.
The Aspect system concept centres around the exceptional directivity of the patented Polyhorn™ devices employed in the high frequency and high-mid frequency sections of the mid/high enclosure. In contrast to the majority of conventional horns, Polyhorns develop more consistent frequency response across all seats of an auditorium with minimal interference between adjacent enclosures.
The patented Polyhorn™ devices exhibit a sharp cut-off at the edges of the dispersion pattern, making it possible to achieve seamless coverage of a venue with minimal destructive interference between elements, however many individual enclosures are deployed in the cluster. The Polyhorn™ devices generate phase-coherent and smoothly- curved wavefronts which match the array curvature, whose centre becomes the virtual point source.
The TA-500 trapezoidal enclosure can be ground-stacked or flown in arrays. It can also be integrated with TA-880 or TA-890 systems as a front or side fill cabinet.
TSW-218 dual 18” horn-loaded low frequency enclosures or B18 single 18” bandpass subwoofers provide ideal sub-bass support for the TA-500.
