Servicing Information

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

Removal of the low frequency driver(s)

The perforated steel loudspeaker grille (1) is held in place under tension only, fitting into slots at either side of the baffle. There are no screws or other fixings holding the grille in place. Lay the cabinet on its back and, using two small screwdrivers inserted through the mesh of the grille, firmly pull the grille away from the slot at one side of the baffle until it is free. Set the grille aside for later re-assembly.

Undo the screws (2) holding the driver in place and carefully lift it out and away from the cabinet. 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 cabinet 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 magnetic tape of any kind.

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

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.
