Speaker Connections

TCS Compact Series enclosures are provided with a recessed connector panel housing a single Neutrik Speakon NL4MP connector wired in parallel with a 4-way terminal strip. Either can be used for the input, the other being available as an output for looping to further TCS enclosures.

LOOP IN LOOP OUT

Note that looping out to additional enclosures has the effect of reducing the load impedance on the amplifier. For example, two 8 ohm cabinets in parallel give a combined total impedance of 4 ohms. Never connect loudspeakers whose total combined impedance is lower than the amplifier’s recommended minimum load impedance. Do not use the loop-out connection to connect other types of loudspeaker, especially when their impedance is not known, as permanent damage could result!

The cable end Speakon NL4 connector should be wired as follows:

Please take care if XLRs, binding posts, or other dual connector systems, are used at the amplifier end of the loudspeaker cables (jack plugs/sockets should not be used) where there is a possibility of the cables being reversed. It is highly recommended that Neutrik Speakon or other heavy duty non-reversible connectors are used.

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.
