System Configurations

TCS Compact Series 2-way enclosures are passive loudspeaker systems. This means that they require only one amplifier channel for correct operation, the frequency splitting between the low frequency driver and the high frequency driver being accomplished by the internal passive crossover network in each enclosure. If subwoofers are used in a bi- amplified system in conjunction with TCS Compact Series 2-way enclosures, additional amplifier channels and external electronic crossovers will be required. The Turbosound LMS-D24/26 digital management systems are recommended for this purpose.

Many different system configurations of TCS Compact Series loudspeaker enclosures are possible to suit various installation requirements, ranging from cafes, bars and restaurants to theme parks, theatres and houses of worship. Listed below are a few common examples.

POWER AMPLIFIER

A single amplifier supporting two TCS Compact series 2-way speakers creates a standard stereo system. A further pair of TCS mid/tops could be connected using the loop-through connections, although this will result in a corresponding drop in impedance. With TCS Compact 2-way speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms this would make a combined 4 ohm load that should be suitable for any good quality power amplifier (see amplifier considerations for more information).

NB: A stereo configuration is shown but this system could be run in mono.

NB: The EQ block is shown for tuning the room.

TCS COMPACT SERIES specifications

The Turbosound TCS Compact Series represents a significant evolution in compact sound reinforcement solutions, offering exceptional audio quality and versatile applications for both live sound and permanent installations. With a focus on performance and portability, the TCS series is designed to meet the demands of various environments, from concert halls to corporate events.

One of the standout features of the TCS Compact Series is its innovative design, which combines advanced acoustical engineering with cutting-edge materials. The cabinets are constructed from high-grade plywood, providing robustness while still being lightweight, making transport and setup effortless. The series includes both full-range models and dedicated subwoofers, allowing users to create customized sound systems tailored to their specific needs.

The TCS Series employs a proprietary waveguide technology that ensures a wide and even dispersion of sound, resulting in a consistent audio experience across a wide listening area. This feature is particularly beneficial in large venues where audience members may be located at varying distances from the stage.

Another notable technology integrated into the TCS Compact Series is the use of high-performance transducers. These drivers are engineered for optimum efficiency and clarity, delivering powerful low frequencies and crisp highs. The subwoofers are specifically designed to complement the full-range units, providing a deep bass response that enhances the overall sound quality of any performance.

The TCS series also features advanced rigging options, allowing for flexible deployment configurations. Whether flown in an array or positioned on the ground, the cabinets can be easily adapted to suit the venue's acoustics. This versatility makes them an ideal choice for both temporary setups and permanent installations.

Connectivity is another area where the TCS Compact Series excels. With a range of input and output options, including high-quality connectors, users can seamlessly integrate the systems with various mixing consoles and audio sources.

In summary, the Turbosound TCS Compact Series is a powerful, versatile, and durable solution for audio professionals seeking high-quality sound reinforcement. Its combination of innovative design, advanced technologies, and user-friendly features positions it as a go-to choice for live sound engineers and installation specialists alike. Whether for touring acts, corporate events, or fixed installations, the TCS series delivers exceptional performance you can rely on.
